Examples

  • This may be an adaptive strategy of Leymus chinensis seeds to resist high salinity stress.

    Academic text (2014)

  • Young seedlings of Leymus chinensis elongated quickly in distilled water.

    Academic text (2014)

  • Under saline and alkaline conditions, adaptive strategies of Leymus chinensis during germination and early seedling stage were greatly different.

    Academic text (2014)

  • Therefore, Leymus chinensis has different adaptive mechanisms to maintain osmotic balance during adaptation to saline and alkaline stresses.

    Academic text (2014)

  • Our results showed that alkaline stress also significantly affected seed germination (germination percentage and germination rate) of Leymus chinensis.

    Academic text (2014)

  • After the germination recovery test, we found that above 50% of nongerminated seeds of Leymus chinensis germinated again when they were transferred from strong saline stress (250 mM) to distilled water (Table 1).

    Academic text (2014)

  • Young seedlings of Leymus chinensis elongated quickly in distilled water.

  • This may be an adaptive strategy of Leymus chinensis seeds to resist high salinity stress.

Etymology

Leymus likely comes from an old Greek name for a kind of 'grass', so botanists used it as the name of a genus of wild rye. That's why Leymus refers to rye-like grasses.
