(n.) A genus of plants found in central Europe and about the Mediterranean, having flowers on a spadix inclosed in a spathe. The cuckoopint of the English is an example.
Example Sentences:
(1) I will destroy you.” Khan, a former WBA and IBF light world welterweight champion, also turned on Manny Pacquiao, accusing him and his team, led by Bob Arum, of providing conflicting reasons for choosing to fight Timothy Bradley in April, instead of the Bolton born boxer.
(2) The maximum catalytic activities of PFK (PPi) in apex, stele and cortex of the root of pea (Pisum sativum) and in the developing and the thermogenic club of the spadix of cuckoo-pint (Arum maculatum) were measured and compared with those of phosphofructokinase, and to estimates of the rates of carbohydrate oxidation.
(3) Mitochondria isolated from the thermogenic spadices of Arum maculatum and Sauromatum guttatum plants oxidized external NADH, succinate, citrate, malate, 2-oxoglutarate and pyruvate without the need to add exogenous cofactors.
(4) In practice, the pins are introduced in the same way as the previously described procedure, by they must protrude beyond the opposite wall by 6-8 mm; the difference is in the screwing of the "ARUM" nut: first it is screwed as the reduction stress is increased so its conical part penetrates between the fracture edges; then the pin is cut; and the nut is unscrewed so the cut end of the pin will be included in the space of its base.
(5) PPi and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in Arum clubs were measured.
(6) At temperatures close to those of liquid helium, first derivative spectra corresponding to Center S-3 (gmax = 2.017) and a signal split around g = 2.00 (major features of peaks and troughs at g values of 2.045, 2.03, 1.985, 1.97 and 1.96) were observed in mung bean (Phaseolus aureus), Arum maculatum spadix, Sauromatum guttatum spadix and tulip bulb (Tulipa gesnerana) mitochondria.
(7) With this tool, it is possible to put the pin in its right place and to screw the "ARUM" nut very precisely: the concave conical form of the nut makes it possible to slide between the tendons without injuring them and widening the fracture site: this is the "reduction effect".
(8) The promoter Bob Arum had said in October that it would be Pacquiao’s last fight before he concentrated on a career in politics but he backtracked on that statement on Thursday by telling Reuters : “I don’t want to say that.
(9) It’s the debate of the century between two of the top pound for pound politicians in the country: Mr Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee and Senator Sanders, the Democratic candidate,” Arum said in a release issued Thursday.
(10) X-band electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy at 4.2--77K combined with measurements of oxidation-reduction potential was used to identify iron--sulphur centres in Arum maculatum (cuckoo-pint) mitochondria.
(11) The aims of this work were to discover the pathways of carbohydrate oxidation prior to and during thermogenesis by the club of the spadix of Arum maculatum, and whether there was coarse control of these pathways.
(12) Arum said 80% of the net proceeds will go to the charity or charities of the candidates’ choice, agreed upon in advance, with a minimum donation of $20m.
(13) The subcellular location of the two porphyrin-synthesis enzymes 5-aminolaevulinate dehydratase (ALAD) and porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) was investigated in Pisum sativum (pea) leaves and spadices of Arum (cuckoo-pint).
(14) Ever since he bought out his contract from Bob Arum for the princely sum of $750,000 in 2007, he’s made all the right moves to become the highest earning athlete on the planet, no less than a miracle given his risk-averse, defensive style that appeals to a subset of aficionados but not a broader public that’s always preferred slugging to boxing.
(15) The toxicity of the Arum genus, especially the Dieffenbachia, has long been a topic of controversy.
(16) So Khan was a logical banker for Arum to maximise Pacquiao’s return.
(17) Our hearts go out to Lonnie, his children, and his entire family.” The US boxing promoter Bob Arum, 84, who promoted many of Ali’s fights, said “a true great has left us”.
(18) The catalytic properties of cuckoo-pint (Arum maculatum) mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase have been analysed.
(19) Plant mitochondrial ATPase has been chloroform-solubilized and purified by gel filtration from spadices of cuckoo-pint (Arum maculatum).
(20) Type II chloroplasts, typical of shade plant (Arum), show giant grana stacks with few interconnecting thylakoids.
