Therefore, electrophoresis of positively charged particles or molecules is sometimes called cataphoresis, while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles or molecules (anions) is sometimes called anaphoresis.
Although plants produce numerous copies of the same organ during their lives, not all copies of a particular organ will be identical. There is variation among the parts of a mature plant resulting from the relative position where the organ is produced. For example, along a new branch the leaves may vary in a consistent pattern along the branch.
In linguistics, anaphora (/ ə ˈ n æ f ər ə /) is the use of an expression whose interpretation depends upon another expression in context (its antecedent).In a narrower sense, anaphora is the use of an expression that depends specifically upon an antecedent expression and thus is contrasted with cataphora, which is the use of an expression that depends upon a postcedent expression.
annual: a plant species that completes its life cycle within a single year or growing season; basal: attached close to the base (of a plant or an evolutionary tree diagram) climber: a vine that leans on, twines around or clings to other plants for vertical support; deciduous: falling seasonally, as with bark, leaves, or petals
On each individual plant, all flowers share the same morph. The flower morphs differ in the lengths of the pistil and stamens , and these traits are not continuous. The morph phenotype is genetically linked to genes responsible for a unique system of self-incompatibility , termed heteromorphic self-incompatibility , that is, the pollen from a ...
In plant taxonomy, commelinids (originally commelinoids [1] [2]) is a clade of flowering plants within the monocots, distinguished by having cell walls containing ferulic acid.
Thigmomorphogenesis (from Ancient Greek θιγγάνω (thingánō) to touch, μορφή (morphê) shape, and γένεσις (génesis) creation) the phenomenon by which plants alter their growth and development in response to mechanical stimuli, exemplifies their remarkable adaptability to fluctuating environmental conditions.
It is a form of nastic movement, not to be confused with thermotropism, which is a directional response in plants to temperature. A common example of this is in some Rhododendron species, but thermonasty has also been observed in other plants, such as Phryma leptostachya . [ 1 ]
