Flowering phenology and height growth pattern are associated with maximum plant height, relative growth rate and stem tissue mass density in herbaceous grassland species
1. We hypothesize that flowering phenology correlates with plant height growth pattern and that the pattern is associated with functional traits including maximum plant height (Hmax), RGR, stem tissue mass density (SD), hollow ratio (proportion of central hollow of stem cross-sectional area) and leafmass per area (LMA) in grassland herbaceous species. 2. We investigated plant height growth traj...
متن کاملHousing is positively associated with invasive exotic plant species richness in New England, USA.
Understanding the factors related to invasive exotic species distributions at broad spatial scales has important theoretical and management implications, because biological invasions are detrimental to many ecosystem functions and processes. Housing development facilitates invasions by disturbing land cover, introducing nonnative landscaping plants, and facilitating dispersal of propagules alon...
متن کاملHepatocyte Growth Factor Is Positively Associated With Risk of Stroke
The protein hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-Met are produced in response to tissue injury and are functional in tissue repair mechanisms. Their favorable effects in the heart and vasculature include anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, and proangiogenic actions. Because HGF is released in response to endothelial injury, higher levels of circulating HGF are associated with hyperten...
متن کاملA REVISION OF PLANT-ASSOCIATED VERTICILLIUM SPECIES
Molecular approaches were used to re-evaluate the morphological criteria used to identify plant-associated Verticillium species. ITS-RFLPs divided the 31 studied strains of seven Verticillium species, (including the type species V. luteo-album) into four clusters. Cluster one comprised strains of the type species, V. luteo-album, cluster two V. albo-atrum, V. dahliae, V. nubilum and V. tricorpu...
متن کاملRelative distribution of folate species is associated with global DNA methylation in human colorectal mucosa.
Folate exists as functionally diverse species within cells. Although folate deficiency may contribute to DNA hypomethylation in colorectal cancer, findings on the association between total folate concentration and global DNA methylation have been inconsistent. This study determined global, LINE-1, and Alu DNA methylation in blood and colon of healthy and colorectal cancer patients and their rel...
