Angiospermous
Definition:
(a.) Having seeds inclosed in a pod or other pericarp.

(14) It was concluded that neither macromolecule alone was likely to yield a solution to the problem of angiosperm phylogeny and therefore that studies of both, at least, will be required.

(19) Unlike the wide variation in intron position among animal actin genes, the potato actin genes have three introns situated in the same positions as reported for all other angiosperm actin genes.
(20) Relationships between the amino acid sequences of RPS14s encoded in broad bean mtDNA, in chloroplast DNAs of various angiosperms, and in E. coli are consistent with the view that the ancestral lines of these three kinds of DNA diverged from each other within a relatively short time period.
Pericarp
Definition:
(n.) The ripened ovary; the walls of the fruit. See Illusts. of Capsule, Drupe, and Legume.
Example Sentences:
(1) A new toxic neoanisatin-derivative (1) was isolated from the pericarps of Illicium majus.
(2) We show that P is required for accumulation in the pericarp of transcripts of two genes (A1 and C2) encoding enzymes for flavonoid biosynthesis--genes also regulated by C1 in the aleurone.
(3) Byssinosis, COPD, cotton fever and cotton pneumoconiosis may be different types of responses due to the different duration of exposure, the different parts of bronchial tree (upper respiratory tract, small airway, and respiratory part) where deposition occurs, and the different components of cotton dust (broken cotton fibers, bracts, pericarps, bacteria, and fungi).
(4) The extracts obtained from root, stem, leaf and fruit pericarps of Glaucium flavum showed antibacterial activity in an in vitro assay.
(5) Cytokinin, [8-14C]Benzylaminopurine, metabolism in tomato pericarp was followed during a 3 h period utilizing thin layer chromatography and visualization by fluorography.
(6) After 10 d, concentrations of total volatile fatty acids (VFA) in caecal fluid were significantly different between groups and fell in the order: aleurone greater than wheat bran greater than pericarp-seed coat greater than cellulose.
(7) The maize P gene is required for the production of red phlobaphene pigments in the pericarp and cob.
(8) Southern analysis of DNA prepared from the pericarp tissue demonstrates that the deletions can occur premeiotically, in the somatic cells during development of the pericarp.
(9) From pericarps of Rosa davurica (Rosaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine, eight known tetracyclic triterpene acids, three known flavonoids, ethyl beta-fructopyranoside and methyl 3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-gallate were isolated.
