Other claims from this paper (7)

Intervention effect Intermediate selenium additions appeared to produce the highest biomass, with substantial scatter.
Association Root and shoot selenium contents increased roughly in proportion to applied selenium.
Observation Small selenium additions preferentially allocated selenium to roots.
Observation At larger additions, root and shoot selenium contents were roughly equal.
Intervention effect Selenium treatments did not change hypocotyl morphology.
Intervention effect Basal and lateral root specific length and area were smallest at intermediate selenium additions.

Other claims from this paper (17)

Observation Bud growth began in late September or early October and continued through December.
Observation Total bud yield increased at a broadly constant rate until late November.
Observation Total bud yield increased at a decreasing rate thereafter.
Observation Plants produced about 100 nodes with buds at least 5 mm diameter.
Observation The largest buds were about 40 mm in diameter.
Observation The largest buds weighed 25 g fresh weight.
Observation Bud size increased from the stem base to nodes 20–40 and then decreased toward the apex.
Observation Nodes 20–40 produced about 40–45% of total bud yield.
Association Bud fresh weight was closely related to size and volume.
Observation Bud density was about 0.8.
Association Bud fresh weight doubled per 5 mm increase in diameter.
Mechanism Current canopy photosynthesis apparently supplied most assimilates for bud growth.
Mechanism Bud growth was mainly supported by subtending leaves according to C 14 tracing.
Observation No evidence supported dry matter re-translocation from dying leaves or stems to buds.
Observation No substantial dry matter production by buds was found.
Observation Bud photosynthesis was about 10% of leaf photosynthesis.
Mechanism Late growth of buds at low nodes was probably mainly from water uptake.

Other claims from this paper (11)

Observation Mean spore number was 18,500 in S. tenellum.
Observation Mean spore number was 243,000 in S. squarrosum.
Association Within species, spore number varied substantially and was mainly related to capsule size.
Association Between species, spore number was higher with large capsules.
Association Between species, spore number was higher with small spores.
Association Capsule size appeared positively correlated with capitulum size.
Association Spore size was positively associated with capsule size in three species, with quadratic fit.
Observation The smallest capsule in each of eight species also had the smallest spores.
Method / resource The capsule-size to spore-size ratio strongly predicted spore number across species.
Observation Measured spore sizes agreed with at least one earlier study.
Observation Measured spore sizes were generally smaller than those in several other studies.

Cotton Response to Seasonal Patterns of Flower Removal: I. Yield and Fiber Quality

Other claims from this paper (8)

Intervention effect Early flower removal (3rd week and earlier) delayed boll development in cotton.
Intervention effect Early flower removal did not significantly reduce cotton yield at season end.
Intervention effect Later flower removal (4th week and later) reduced total fiber yields by 13–33% relative to early-season removals and no removal.
Association Boll weight was positively correlated with fiber properties in cotton.
Intervention effect Later flower removal increased micronaire values in cotton fiber.
Intervention effect Late-season flower losses (4th week and later) were the most injurious to cotton yield.
Intervention effect Removal of flowers at the 6th week and later significantly reduced cotton yield, even for the least severe late-season removal.
Recommendation Early fruit loss (3rd week and earlier) can be tolerated in cotton if the season allows time for compensatory reproductive growth.
