Themajority of experiments in plant biology use plants grown in some kind of container or pot.We conducted a meta-analysis on 65 studies that analysed the effect of pot size on growth and underlying variables.On average, a doubling of the pot size increased biomass production by 43%. Further analysis of pot size effects on the underlying components of growth suggests that reduced growth in smal...

We aimed to develop alternative fishing gear for catching the common octopus, to decrease the use of bait and operating costs in comparison to commercial net pots. A tubular-type pot was designed, and behavioral responses of the common octopus were experimentally monitored in tank and replicated 10 times to compare fishing performances between 300 experimental and 300 commercial net pots in the...

The ability of calcium peroxide (CaO(2)) to immobilize As of contaminated soil was studied using pot and field experiments. In pot experiment, CaO(2) applied at 2.5 and 5 g kg(-1) significantly increased celery shoot weight and decreased shoot As accumulation, which was ascribed to the formation of stable crystalline Fe and Al oxides bound As and the reduction of labile As fractions in the soil...

Improvement in leaf hydraulics is directly related to the improvement of plant tolerance to drought stress. Therefore, a field and pot experiment was carried out to determine the type of genetic variability and selection of parental types on the basis of combining ability for leaf hydraulics. Genotypes showed similar performance in both experiments; higher values were shown by drought tolerant ...

This supplementary material presents details of the experiments addressed in the main paper. Results for individual steps of the pot configuration pipeline are illustrated for real and synthetic datasets. Four experiments show the reassembly of a computer generated axially symmetric pot from 10, 17, 23 and 30 unorganized broken pieces, respectively. Gaussian noise was added to make the problem ...

Wazirpur industrial area of Delhi generates a huge quantity of sludge per day, which is highly acidic in nature (pH 2.7 to 4.4) and contains macronutrients, micronutrients as well as toxic metals. A pot-culture experiment was conducted by taking the two soils (JNU and Chhattarpur) amended with sludge (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%), pretreated with lime (0%, 0.5% and 1%). Two wheat seedlings were planted p...

to evaluate the effect interference of mustard on yield and yield components of canola, and observation competition difference of mustard in pot and field condition, experiments were conducted in 2006 and 2007 in the greenhouse and farm of college of agriculture, ramin agricultural and natural resources university of khouzestan, respectively. pot experiment the factorial set of treatments was a...

Four isolates each of Bacillus and Rhizobium sp were selected and characterized for their P-solubilization and auxin production. All the isolates produced auxin but with different degree of efficacy. The isolates of Rhizobium and Bacillus having maximum auxin production and P-solubilization were selected and further evaluated for improving growth, nodulation and yield of mungbean at two fertili...
