Life cycleMyxosarciii,a sp. was isolated from local soils and its life cycle and nutritional behaviour were investigated. The cyanobacterium grew in modified Chu-10 medium with a generation time of about 48 h. The optimal pH for growth was 8.6. Out of eight combined nitrogen sources tested,...
The present study was conducted in the alpine pastures of Tungnath (30° 14′ N and 79° 13′ E) to observe life-form and growth-form patterns of alpine plant species under grazed and ungrazed conditions and to work out the plant life form spectrum. Species were categorized as plant habit...

An increase in size, amount, or volume, usually as a result of an increase in the number of cells. Growth of an organism may stop at maturity, as in the case of humans and other mammals, or it may continue throughout life, as in many plants. ...
Life-history theory predicts that small species will exhibit short life-spans and fast growth rates; however, previous studies indicate that a positive relationship between size and maximum age may not be universally applicable to coral reef fishes. Here, we investigate the growth and life-span of...
In contrast, estrogens appear to influence body growth by mechanisms that are mainly independent of the secretory pattern of GH. Evidence is accumulating that the secretory pattern of GH in the rat also affects various sexually differentiated hepatic characteristics such as steroid metabolism and ...

Over half of this achondroplasia cohort contributed five or more data points in all three growth categories while approximately one-third of the population contributed ten or more data points in over each parameter. Table 2 Longitudinal characteristics of the anthropometry data for 1,341 subjects ...
Once the average model fits the data, many population characteristics of the curve can be obtained, including predictions of weight and height as well as growth velocities at given ages and age at the peak of height growth velocity. The BMI growth trajectory life follows a non-monotonic pattern...
Growth, quality, and physiological characteristics of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii L.) cut flowers in response to different NO3 −:NH4 + ratios We investigated the effects of different NO3−:NH4+ ratios in nutrient solution on the yield and growth of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) cut flowers in ...
