neutral  liz askew: showed, without "signs of"... and "the" should be left out.
54 mins
  -> 'Signs of' is to add stylistic balance and 'the' as the def. art., as used in other answers that, incidentally, have adopted my word order. is arguable.
neutral  philgoddard: You can even bring law into horticulture! :-)

  -> I actually eschewed your 'evidenced' ProZ answer in the weblink and once many years ago, coincidentally, took UK law finals inside the Royal Horticultural Halls at London SW1.

agree  Neil Ashby: "plants were" coloured very pale green or yellow//Then the answer to your question would be "10% of the plants was yellow", so I think it should be "were". "percentage of the plants"=a number bigger than one, so it's treated like a plural? I guess.
11 mins
  -> I had to rethink this. Surely the verb is singular?// Point taken. Another verb (appeared?) would have got round this. Percent” is used with both singular and plural verbs. It usually takes a plural verb when followed by “of” plus a plural noun.

agree  Robert Carter: Agree also that it should be "were". I think in general speech there's an ellipsis, i.e., "Roughly what [was the] percentage of the plants [that] were yellow?"
