THE MEASUREMENT OF TOLERANCE TO EDAPHIC FACTORS BY MEANS OF ROOT GROWTH
Abstract
SUMMARY: The tolerance of plants to toxic metals is frequently measured by comparing rates of root growth in culture solutions with and without the addition of the metal, but many variants of the technique are available. Toxicity is often reduced by the presence of other ions, particularly calcium. Control growth rates may be measured beforehand on the same roots or in parallel on a duplicate set. With a single toxic concentration tolerance is defined as the ratio of the two growth rates; with a range of concentrations the slope of the regression of growth on concentration may be used, but there are some complications with stimulation at low concentrations. Probit analysis may be valuable. There is good evidence that tolerance differences are largely of genetical origin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
