What's the difference between calciferous and testa?
Calciferous
Definition:
(a.) Bearing, producing, or containing calcite, or carbonate of lime.
Example Sentences:
(1) The larvae were subsequently found localized in the calciferous glands.
(2) In the face of tumours of the lateral part of the gland, easily to access from the clinical diagnostic point of view, the computer-tomogram can improve pretherapeutically the differential diagnosis to a great extent by additional morphological-quantitative information about the macroscopic possibility to palpate the borders of a tumour, depth of expansion, and tissue structure, the mixed tumour, in particular, seems to have an absorption pattern relatively appropriate to computer-tomography as a result of its different tissue formation, calciferous histopathologic in part, often sealed off macroscopicly.

(10) Acute-phase roentgenograms show substantial soft-tissue swelling anterior to the vertebral bodies, C1 to C4, often accompanied by amorphous calciferous deposition below the anterior tubercle of the atlas.
(11) The case observed displays a well-developed annular capsule structure with massive deposits of calciferous substance as a prominent computer-tomographic feature (histological: fibrohyaline capsule).
Testa
Definition:
(n.) The external hard or firm covering of many invertebrate animals.
(n.) The outer integument of a seed; the episperm, or spermoderm.
Example Sentences:
(1) Proanthocyanidins (dimers and oligomers of polyhydroxy-flavan-3-ols) were only found in the testa of broad beans, beans, and peas with coloured flowers, and in rhubarb stalks.
(2) In the present work this defatted preparation was divided into two subfractions: subfraction "a" which contains the testa and endosperm and is rich in fibers (79.6%); and subfraction "b" which contains the cotyledons and axes and is rich in saponins (7.2%) and proteins (52.8%).
(3) Also, one compound (the only tertiary alcohol) from the original set that was not included in Testa's calculations and analysis, is included in this work and its activity successfully calculated.
(4) Control groups of rats were given the same choice testas the naive rats.
(5) The Arabidopsis genes encoding chalcone flavanone isomerase (CHI) and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) were cloned and found to correspond to two transparent testa loci.
(6) Growth of Aspergillus flavus and Trichoderma viride on agar media was inhibited around embryos of green peanut seeds but not around embryos of cured seeds, intact peanut seeds, or testae.
(7) Both fungi were able to colonize intact seeds and testae.
(8) Also, tannin-containing extracts from kernel coats (testae) and cotyledons of these genotypes were prepared and tested for their effect on A. parasiticus growth and aflatoxin production in vitro.
(9) Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) has been reported to enhance the rate of synthesis of lysozyme [Rouis, Thomopoulos, Louache, Testa, Heroy & Titeux, (1985) Exp.
(10) In testa-pericarp tissue of mutants ant18-159, ant18-162 and ant18-164, wild-type levels of steady state mRNA for dihydroflavonol reductase have been measured, while mRNA for this enzyme is not transcribed in mutant ant18-161.
(11) We have studied the effects of a new, concentrated, wheat fibre preparation (Testa Triticum Tricum, Trifyba, which is 80% dietary fibre) upon bile composition, deoxycholic acid metabolism and intestinal transit time, and have assessed whether these effects are related.
(12) With seed of ten coloured flowered varieties of field beans, treatment with PEG gave a small but consistent increase in the available methionine content, which resulted from the inactivation of tannins in the testa.
(13) When R was expressed in the transparent testa glabrous (without anthocyanins and trichomes) mutant of Arabidopsis, the deficiency was complemented and both anthocyanins and trichomes were restored.
(14) Some of the methanol-extracted and water-soluble tannin extracts from testae and cotyledons, when incorporated in yeast extract sucrose liquid medium (100 mg l), significantly inhibited A. parasiticus growth and reduced the levels of aflatoxin produced.
(15) Investigation at the transcriptional level of the expression pattern of this gene revealed that mRNA accumulates during the post-testa stages of seed development.
(16) At laboratory level, the dry testa removal method gave the best flour yields (mean = 85.8%) and the highest protein content (mean = 23.7%).
(17) Jojoba meal and seed without testa were deffated with hexane and detoxified with a 7:3 isopropanol-water mixture which removed 86% of total phenolic compounds and 100% of simmondsins originally present, the resulting products had reduced bitterness and caused no deaths on experimental animals.
(18) The sparkling white walls of this minimalist space – on the ground floor of a grand house in the smart Recoleta district – are currently lined with striking monochrome prints of the city from a bygone age – street life from the 1950s onwards, capturing both the splendour and crudeness of the capital, be it portraits of the artistic elite (including conceptual artist Alberto Greco and architect Clorindo Testa) to the gruesome reality of an abattoir in the 1940s.
(19) It was concluded that the addition of pea testa to white bread does not have detrimental effect on Fe availability.
