Due to the importance and complexity of photo assimilate transport in raffinose family oligosaccharide (RFO)-transporting plants such as melon, it is important to study the features of the transport structure (phloem) particularly of the lateral branches connecting the source leaves and the sink fruits, and its responses to environmental challenges. Currently, it is unclear to what extents the ...

The lateral geniculate nucleus of the ferret contains not only eye-specific layers, but a further subdivision of layers A and A1 into inner and outer sublaminae that contain, respectively, ON-center and OFF-center cells (Stryker and Zahs, '83). To study how the arbors of single retinal ganglion cell axons correlate with these cellular divisions, we have examined the morphology of physiologicall...

Root and shoot branches are major determinants of plant form and critical for the effective capture of resources below and above ground. These branches are often maintained at specific angles with respect to gravity, known as gravitropic set point angles (GSAs). We have previously shown that the mechanism permitting the maintenance of non-vertical GSAs is highly auxin-dependent and here we inve...

The experiment was carried out during agricultural season 2021, to study the effect of adding two types silicon on vegetative growth characteristics and mineral content mint plant grown under salt stress. designed using Randomized Complete Block Design RCBD as a factorial with factors three replicates, each replicate contains 9 experimental units, unit consists 3 pots. first factor included oxi...

The morphological changes in individual retinal ganglion cell axons associated with the formation of the eye-specific layers in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) were studied during the prenatal development of the cat's visual system. Previous work has shown that the pattern of segregated eye inputs found in the adult arises from an immature state in which inputs from the two eyes are...

Abstract The present communication deals with the taxonomical description of cestode parasite Taenia taeniaeformis commonly known as feline tapeworm. The neck is almost as broad as the scolex and segmentation begins immediately behind the scolex. The scolex of T. taeniaeformis is armed with a large double circle of 40-45 hooks and four clearly lateral suckers. Hooks are claw hammer shaped, smal...

This study was designed to investigate the incidence of lateral root of the ulnar nerve through cadaveric dissection and to analyze its impact on myotomes corresponding to the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) assessed by electrodiagnostic study. Dissection of the brachial plexus (BP) was performed in 38 arms from 19 cadavers, and the connecting branches between the lateral cord and medial cord (or be...

In the nervous system of embryos and adult Locusta migratoria, somata, neurites within the ganglia, and axons leaving the thoracic ganglia show allatostatin immunoreactivity. The immunoreactive efferent axons divide to follow different nerve branches and form varicose terminals on skeletal muscles. In the adult locust, one pair of motor neurons is particularly prominent among the allatostatin-i...
