What's the difference between elaeagnus and oleaster?
Elaeagnus
Definition:
(n.) A genus of shrubs or small trees, having the foliage covered with small silvery scales; oleaster.
Example Sentences:
(1) Reisolates obtained from nodules induced on monoxenic Alnus glutinosa, Alnus incana, and Elaeagnus angustifolia resembled the parent strains in host infectivity range, in planta and in vitro morphophysiology, isoenzymes, and nif and rrn restriction fragment length polymorphisms, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates on both host plant genera.
(2) These differences were more pronounced among Elaeagnus-compatible strains than among Alnus- or Casuarina-compatible strains.
(3) Phenotypic and genotypic methods were used to prove the existence of Frankia strains isolated from an Elaeagnus sp.
(4) The phylogenetic tree showed that strains belonging to the Alnus infectivity group are closely related to strains belonging to the Casuarina infectivity group and that strains of these two infectivity groups are well separated from strains of the Elaeagnus infectivity group, which also includes atypical strains isolated from the Casuarina group.
(5) Frankia wild-type strain UFI 13270257 and three of its coisolates did exhibit complete infectivity and effectiveness on Elaeagnus spp.
(6) ELISAs were developed to measure olive, ash (Fraxinus americana), privet (Ligustrum vulgare), and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) specific IgE antibodies.
(7) Alnus and Elaeagnus group-specific polymerase chain reaction DNA amplifications, DNA-DNA hybridizations, and partial gene sequences coding for 16S rRNA provided evidence for the genetic uniformity of wild-type strains and their inclusion into one and the same genomic species, clearly belonging to the Elaeagnus group of Frankia species.
Oleaster
Definition:
(n.) The wild olive tree (Olea Europea, var. sylvestris).
(n.) Any species of the genus Elaeagus. See Eleagnus. The small silvery berries of the common species (Elaeagnus hortensis) are called Trebizond dates, and are made into cakes by the Arabs.
