Temperature Gradient Chamber for Relative Growth Rate Analysis of Yeast

Analytical Biochemistry, 1998
Relative growth is often used as a phenotypic measure to distinguish mutant and wild-type yeast or bacterial strains. Differential growth as a function of temperature is a convenient and accurate means of analyzing differences between strains. Slight differences in the genotypes of two strains frequently result in differential growth of the two strains

Modeling turkey growth with the relative growth rate.

Growth, development, and aging : GDA, 1999
Six sigmoidal growth curves and two growth curves derived from a two-phase relative growth rate model were evaluated, using an experimental body-weight data from male and female turkeys of two genetic lines; a fast-growing (F) line and a randombred control (RBC) line from which the F line was developed. When their root mean square error was compared to

Determination of relative growth rates of natural quartz crystals

Nature, 2000
Although the theory describing crystal growth in the geological environment is well established, there are few quantitative studies that delimit the absolute time involved in the growth of natural crystals. The actual mechanisms responsible for the variation in size and shape of individual crystal faces are, in fact, not well understood.

Diallel Analysis of Relative Growth Rates in Maize Synthetics

Crop Science, 1990
Previous studies indicated that relative growth rates (RGR) based on easily obtained measurements [(leaf number ✕ leaf length ✕ leaf width ✕ O.5)/days to silking] hold promise as a selection tool to increase grain yields in early‐maturing maize (Zea mays L.).

The relative rates of secondary and normal grain growth

Acta Metallurgica, 1987
Abstract It is shown that, if uniform grain boundary energy is the only factor affecting boundary motion, an abnormally large grain in a matrix of normal grains does not grow at a higher relative rate than its neighbors.

The Use of Above-Ground Maximum Relative Growth Rate as an Accurate Predictor of Whole-Plant Maximum Relative Growth Rate

Functional Ecology, 1989
Studies that measure maximum relative growth rates in a large number of plant species must often accept compromises between accuracy of estimation and the number of species that can be studied. In this paper is shown that one can obtain equivalent accuracy in estimating average maximum relative growth rate by using only aboveground tissues as when ...

Relative growth and specific growth rates in crustaceans.

Growth, 1986
Typically, studies of relative growth focus on the slope of a double logarithmic regression for two measured body parts. This slope represents the relationship between the specific growth rates of the two parts. To better understand processes of relative growth, workers have directly calculated and compared specific growth rates.

Effect of selection for growth rate on relative growth in rabbits.

Journal of animal science, 2009
The effect of selection for growth rate on relative growth of the rabbit body components was studied. Animals from the 18th generation of a line selected for growth rate were compared with a contemporary control group formed with offspring of embryos that were frozen at the seventh generation of selection of the same line.
