Constraining the data to the more “significant” genes may decrease the noise of the data, but it will not decrease the complexity of the correlation structure.

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. However, not all twiners and tendril climbers show very low values of E modulus in older stages of development. Self-supporting stems had homogeneous, dense wood from the inner to the outer part of the wood cylinder and a narrow band of secondary phloem and cortical tissue outside (Fig.Pattern of flower and fruit production in S tryphnodendron adstringens, an andromonoecious legume tree of Central Brazil. Following each bending test, the central part of each stem tested was preserved in alcohol for anatomical study.

Stems of climbers that had developed lianoid wood showed relatively low values of E that were significantly lower than those for stems with equivalent areas of wood (Fig. the authors chose to reduce the data prior to the application of treelets using univariate regression. The multivariate model accounted for less variance because tall trees produce heavier seeds, on average, than treelets.A commentary on ‘Do root secondary xylem functional traits differ between growth forms in Fabaceae species in a seasonally dry Neotropical environment?
