As a traditional nourishing Chinese herbal medicine, Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. has long history of application. At present, only the flesh fruit is used as which wastes large quantity ingredients in nutlet. To improve comprehensive utilization efficiency fruit’s nutlet, could be when there shortage plant’s market, this study Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gas chromatog...

In this study, the main features of trichomes, nutlet, and pollen A. orientalis, which growing in four different provinces Turkey, were examined as detail results illustrated. orientalis carries both peltate capitate well non-glandular ones. However, subtypes glandular trichomes recognized. The shape nutlets is obovate, oblong-obovate nutlet surface sculpturing alveolate. grains euprolate (P/E ...

Marrubium eriocephalum (Lamiaceae) is described as a new record for the Flora of Turkey (B9 Van). A detailed morphological description, photographs, distribution map, and pollen and nutlet morphology of this new record are given.

Actiniopteris radiata (Swartz) Link. is a fern belonging to the family Pteridaceae. The spores collected from the pinnae of A.radiata was inoculated in Knudson’s C and Knop’s medium at pH 5.8. The ontogenic pattern such as germination type, prothallial development and micromorphological changes were studied in detail. The germination of the spore was Anemia type. The gametophyte development was...

This is the case, in particular, because a very high variability was observed both in the thin sections and in the field and the information provided by micromorphology was only of local significance, restricted to the area of thin sections. Comparison of thin sections with the field data shows that micromorphology has no potential for extrapolation of results to the level of context or phase, ...

Soil micromorphology was applied to specify flow domains in different soils and to select a suitable numerical model for simulation of water flow and herbicide transport. Pore structure detected on soil micromorphological images represented in all cases domains of prevailing water flow and solute transport. Depending on pore configuration and boundary conditions either water immobilization or p...

In order to evaluate the influence of masticatory movement on cranial bone mineral density (BMD) and osteocyte and osteoblast micromorphology, we conducted a study in rats fed with solid feed (n=10) and powdered feed (n=10). Cranial BMD was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Osteocyte morphology was evaluated by light microscopy. In addition, some of the tissue was treated with EDTA-K...

Recent studies all indicated that both the affinities and subdivision of Boraginaceae s.str. are unsatisfactorily resolved. Major open issues are the placement and affinities of Boraginaceae s.str. in Boraginales and the major clades of the family, with especially the large tribes Cynoglosseae and Eritrichieae repeatedly retrieved as non-monophyletic groups, and the doubtful monophyly of severa...
