(n.) A flat-topped or convex cluster of flowers, each on its own footstalk, and arising from different points of a common axis, the outermost blossoms expanding first, as in the hawthorn.
(n.) Any flattish flower cluster, whatever be the order of blooming, or a similar shaped cluster of fruit.
Example Sentences:
Panicle
Definition:
(n.) A pyramidal form of inflorescence, in which the cluster is loosely branched below and gradually simpler toward the end.
Example Sentences:
(1) The genetic control of four developmental characters was studied in Amaranthus caudatus L. Determinant panicle growth was determined by one recessive gene.
(2) The phosphorylation of pp70 does not depend by exogenous Ca++ or cAMP, suggesting that pp70 is a major substrate of an Ca++ or cAMP independent protein kinase in rice young panicle.
(3) This mutant was crossed with a heavy-panicle type variety, and semi-dwarf plants permitting a more efficient distribution of light within the canopy were obtained.
(4) Two major genes governed panicle orientation, with erect panicles incompletely dominant to drooping panicles.
(5) Additional modifier genes appeared to alter expression of panicle orientation.
(6) The pp70 which represents the major phosphoprotein in the crude extract of young panicle of rice is a cytosolic protein.
(7) This gene (Gns1) is expressed at relatively low levels in germinating seeds, shoots, leaves, panicles and callus, but it is expressed at higher levels in roots.
(8) 2) In the studied species of artiodactyla, cow, pig and sheep, a qualitative new, panicle-like pattern arised as a result of superposition of spermatozoa head pendular movements around the axis of forward motility and the other one around the head axis.
(9) It was also effective against neck and panicle blast at the same concentration range.
(10) At least eight major phosphoproteins with apparent molecular weights of 70, 60, 52, 40, 33, 30, 20, 16 and 15 kd were detected in the crude extract of rice young panicle.
(11) The endogenous phosphorylation pattern of the extract prepared from rice young panicle has been examined.
