What's the difference between figwort and scrophularia?
Figwort
Definition:
(n.) A genus of herbaceous plants (Scrophularia), mostly found in the north temperate zones. See Brownwort.
Example Sentences:
(1) The sequence of gene VI from figwort mosaic virus (FMV) clone x4 was determined and compared with that previously published for FMV clone DxS.
(2) Gene expression of figwort mosaic virus (FMV), a caulimovirus, was investigated by electroporation of Nicotiana edwardsonii cell suspension protoplasts with cloned viral constructs in which a reporter gene was inserted at various positions on the genome.
(3) In a further analysis of gene regulation of figwort mosaic virus (FMV), a caulimovirus, we studied transient gene expression with modified viral genomes in Nicotiana edwardsonii cell suspension protoplasts.
(4) Based on experiments with the figwort mosaic virus (FMV), it appears that gene VI has a role in the posttranscriptional expression of the closely packed genes (VII and I-V), which appear on the larger, full-length RNA transcript of this virus.
(5) The nucleotide sequence of an infectious clone of figwort mosaic virus (FMV) was determined using the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method.
(6) A segment of DNA from the genome of figwort mosaic virus (FMV) strain M3 possesses promoter activity when tested in electroporated protoplasts from, and transgenic plants of, Nicotiana tabacum cv.
(7) The six major conserved genes of figwort mosaic virus (FMV), a caulimovirus, appear in tandem array on an RNA transcript that spans the entire viral genome.
(8) The complete nucleotide sequence of an infectious clone of soybean chlorotic mottle virus (SoyCMV) DNA was determined and compared with those of three other caulimoviruses, cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), carnation etched ring virus and figwort mosaic virus.
(9) A naturally occurring deletion mutant is observed in plants infected with figwort mosaic virus (FMV), a caulimovirus.
Scrophularia
Definition:
(n.) A genus of coarse herbs having small flowers in panicled cymes; figwort.
Example Sentences:
(1) Chinese herbal drugs, Trichosauthes kirilowii (TK), Polygonatum sibiricum (PS), Scrophularia ningpoensis (SN), Anemarrhea asphodeloides (AA) were selected for the study of their effects on the binding of insulin with human erythrocyte insulin receptor.
(2) The following findings were obtained: 8 plants exhibited persistent hypoglycaemic effects, Lycium shawii, Salvia (S.) aegyptiaca, Pergularia tomentosa, Convolvulus (C.) althaeoides, Haloxylon salicornicum, Ephedra alata, Scrophularia deserti, and Crotalaria aegyptiaca.
(4) In order to confirm the presence of each traditional Chinese medicine in the preparation, a thin layer chromatographic method was developed successfully for analysis of Scrophulariae, Platycodon, Paeoniae and Glycyrrhizae.
