  2. Melanocytic nevus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocytic_nevus

    Dysplastic nevus syndrome is a largely hereditary condition that causes a person to have a large quantity of moles (often 100 or more), with some larger than normal or atypical. This often leads to a higher risk of melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer. [10] Dysplastic nevi are more likely than ordinary moles to become cancerous.

  3. Guard cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_cell

    When the transporter is knocked out from guard cell vacuoles there is a significant reduction in malate flow current. The current goes from a huge inward current to not much different than the WT, and Meyer et al hypothesized that this is due to residual malate concentrations in the vacuole. [40]

  4. Manchineel - Wikipedia

    Although the plant is toxic to many birds and other animals, the black-spined iguana (Ctenosaura similis) is known to eat the fruit and even live among the limbs of the tree. [ 10 ] The tree contains 12-deoxy-5-hydroxyphorbol-6-gamma-7-alpha-oxide, hippomanins, mancinellin, and sapogenin .

    Guard cell – one of the paired epidermal cells that control the opening and closing of a stoma in plant tissue. Heartwood – the older, nonliving central wood of a tree or woody plant, usually darker and harder than the younger sapwood. Also called duramen.

  6. Guard theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_theory

    Guard theory is a branch of immunology which concerns the innate sensing of stereotypical consequences of a virulence factor or pathogen. [1] This is in contrast to the classical understanding of recognition by the innate immune system, which involves recognition of distinct microbial structures- pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)- with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).

  7. Corneal limbus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_limbus

    The corneal limbus manifests as a dark ring around the iris. Its prominence varies by individual. The corneal limbus is the border between the cornea and the sclera. [1] It is highly vascularised. [1] Its stratified squamous epithelium is continuous with the epithelium covering the cornea. [2]

  8. Senna reticulata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senna_reticulata

    Senna reticulata, the mangerioba grande or maria mole in Portuguese, is a pioneer tree species found on highly fertile floodplains in South America.It has some medicinal uses, but is regarded by farmers as a noxious weed, named matapasto (meadow killer) due to its ability to grow fast and outshade neighbouring plants.

  9. Monilinia fructicola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monilinia_fructicola

    Overwintering: The fungus over-winters in mummified fruit on the ground or in the tree and in twig cankers. Spring Infection: two types of spores are produced in spring which can infect blossoms. Conidia are produced on cankers and fruit mummies on the tree. Apothecia (small mushroom-like structures) form on mummies lying on the ground. [3]
