Penetrating thistle bracts injury.
Three prickles about 2 mm. long were embedded in and penetrating the full thickness of the cornea. They were stiff, fine, and like needle-tips; their bases were flush with the corneal epithelium, and the shafts traversed the full corneal thickness with the pointed end protruding I mm. into the anterior chamber. The positions of two of the prickles are visible in Fig. I, the third being hidden u...
متن کاملEndothelial cell cytotoxicity of cotton bracts tannin and aqueous cotton bracts extract: tannin is the predominant cytotoxin present in aqueous cotton bracts extract.
Using an in vitro cytotoxicity assay based on the release of 51Cr from cultured porcine thoracic aortic and pulmonary arterial endothelial cells, we have demonstrated that cotton bracts tannin is a potent endothelial cell cytotoxin. It produces dose-dependent lethal injury to both types of endothelial cells with the aortic cells being somewhat more sensitive to tannin-mediated injury than the p...
متن کاملBristles induce bracts via the EGFR pathway on Drosophila legs
A long-standing mystery in Drosophila has been: how do certain bristles induce adjacent cells to make bracts (a type of thick hair) on their proximal side? The apparent answer, based on loss- and gain-of-function studies, is that they emit a signal that neighbors then transduce via the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway. Suppressing this pathway removes bracts, while hyperactivating it ev...
متن کاملAre petals sterile stamens or bracts? The origin and evolution of petals in the core eudicots.
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to discuss the controversial origins of petals from tepals or stamens and the links between the morphological expression of petals and floral organ identity genes in the core eudicots. SCOPE I challenge the widely held classical view that petals are morphologically derived from stamens in the core eudicots, and sepals from tepals or bracts. Morphological da...
متن کاملCharacteristic thickened cell walls of the bracts of the 'eternal flower' Helichrysum bracteatum.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Helichrysum bracteatum is called an 'eternal flower' and has large, coloured, scarious bracts. These maintain their aesthetic value without wilting or discoloration for many years. There have been no research studies of cell death or cell morphology of the scarious bract, and hence the aim of this work was to elucidate these characteristics for the bract of H. bracteatum. ...
