What's the difference between caryopses and caryopsis?

Caryopses


Definition:

  • (pl. ) of Caryopsis

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Blocks of embedded caryopses were sectioned, exposing the endosperm tissue, and stained with iodine potassium iodide (IKI) and Calcofluor White.
  • (2) Methods have been developed for the isolation of aleurone protoplasts from developing caryopses of Hordeum vulgare and Triticum aestivum in order to study transient expression of introduced genes.
  • (3) Plants, arising from irradiated (300 kR) caryopses of wheat, exhibit a low incorporation of [3H]thymidine into the DNA, which, as shown by sedimentation on sucrose gradients, does not indicate tendencies of normalization.
  • (4) A staining technique for differentiating starch granules and cell walls was developed for computer-assisted studies of starch granule distribution in cells of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) caryopses.
  • (5) The effect of space flight factors, particularly radiation, on Artemia salina cysts, tobacco and rice seeds (embryos and caryopses) was investigated.
  • (6) Swelling of caryopses of high germinative power was accompanied by activation of the system glycolysis--Krebs cycle--respiratory chain and increase in the level of oxidation--phosphorylation coupling.

Caryopsis


Definition:

  • (n.) A one-celled, dry, indehiscent fruit, with a thin membranous pericarp, adhering closely to the seed, so that fruit and seed are incorporated in one body, forming a single grain, as of wheat, barley, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Cytochemical changes during the early development of maize caryopsis are reported.
  • (2) GAD activity and gamma-ABA content of wheat embryos at 7 ripening stages were verified with the aim of studying the metabolic activity of embryo during dehydration and quiescence of caryopsis.
  • (3) Three-dimensional starch size distribution was measured for four cells near the central cheek region of a single caryopsis.
  • (4) The method of impulse gradient of NMR spin-echo was applied for studying limited water diffusion in yeast cells and embryons of wheat caryopsis.
