  2. Cinnabar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnabar

    Cinnabar is the more stable form, and is a structure akin to that of HgO: each Hg center has two short Hg−S bonds (each 2.36 Å), and four longer Hg···S contacts (with 3.10, 3.10, 3.30 and 3.30 Å separations). In addition, HgS is found in a black, non-cinnabar polymorph (metacinnabar) that has the zincblende structure. [5]

  3. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls. This tissue system is present between the dermal tissue and forms the main bulk of the plant body. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and

  4. Metacinnabar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacinnabar

    It is the high temperature form and trimorphous with cinnabar (trigonal structure) and the higher temperature hypercinnabar (hexagonal structure). It occurs with cinnabar in mercury deposits and is associated with native mercury , wurtzite , stibnite , marcasite , realgar , calcite , barite , chalcedony and hydrocarbons .

  5. Plant stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem_cell

    Traditionally, plant stem cells were thought to only exist in SAM and RAM and studies were conducted based on this assumption. However, recent studies have indicated that (pro)cambium also serves as a niche for plant stem cells: "Procambium cells fulfill the criteria for being stem cells since they have the capacity for long-term self renewal and being able to differentiate into one or more ...

  6. Underground stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_stem

    The roots are modified to have root hairs and branch indiscriminately with cells that take in water and nutrients, while the stems are modified to move water and nutrients to and from the leaves and flowers. [8] [9] [10] Stems have nodes with buds where leaves and flowers arise at

  7. Gravitropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitropism

    As plants mature, gravitropism continues to guide growth and development along with phototropism. While amyloplasts continue to guide plants in the right direction, plant organs and function rely on phototropic responses to ensure that the leaves are receiving enough light to perform basic functions such as photosynthesis.

  8. Cork cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_cambium

    Cork cambium of woody stem . It is different from the main vascular cambium , which is the ring between the wood ( xylem ) on the inside (top) and the red bast ( phloem ) outside it. Cork cambium ( pl. : cambia or cambiums ) is a tissue found in many vascular plants as a part of the epidermis .

  9. Digitalis lanata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis_lanata

    Digoxigenin (DIG) is a steroid found in the flowers and leaves of Digitalis species, and is extracted from D. lanata. Digoxigenin can be used as a molecular probe to detect mRNA in situ and label DNA, RNA, and oligonucleotides. [27] It can easily be attached to nucleotides such as uridine by chemical modifications.
