(18) Cultured in vitro, the pollen showed erratic germination, with a scatter of germination times up to 24 h. This was associated with variation between individual grains in the rate of hydration and dispersal of the pectins of the oncus, the thickened outer component of the intine present at each aperture.
(19) Samples taken at intervals and examined by electron microscopy revealed that as germination progressed, vesicle-like and fibrillar structures became visible in the intine region.
(20) Examination of large numbers of cells and cysts by these methods revealed four structural details not reported previously: intine fibrils, intine vesicles, intine membrane, and microtubules.
Intone
Definition:
(v. t.) To utter with a musical or prolonged note or tone; to chant; as, to intone the church service.
(v. i.) To utter a prolonged tone or a deep, protracted sound; to speak or recite in a measured, sonorous manner; to intonate.
Example Sentences:
(1) This method seems the best way to evaluate the respective interactions of intonation with syntax and pragmatics.

(3) This paper reports the results of an inquiry into the question of category versus continuum in intonation.
(4) Jargon incorporated familiar intonational contours and prosodic features to convey emotional states and communicative functions.
(5) If a phrase that expresses a comment about a noun can be omitted without substantially changing the meaning, and if it would be pronounced after a slight pause and with its own intonation contour, then be sure to set it off with commas (or dashes or parentheses): "The Cambridge restaurant, which had failed to clean its grease trap, was infested with roaches."
(6) They also started wearing pinstripe suits and dark glasses, and intoning lines from the film.
(7) They also spend excessive time in making unusual sounds consisting of a high-pitched shrill cry with little intonation in infancy and a harsh, strained, and glottal stridency in later life.
(8) Presentation of the fundamental frequency only generally led to improved perception of features associated with it (voicing and intonation).
(9) This study investigated the possibility that the reported success of agrammatic aphasic patients in performing auditory grammaticality judgments results from their use of intonational cues to sentence well-formedness.
(10) These productions varied with location of contrastive stress, type of sentence intonation, and use of TSV.
(11) The aphasic patients' performance was slightly worse for both signal-processed conditions, but there was little apparent effect of removing sentence intonation on their ability to judge sentence grammaticality.
(12) Ss were presented with lists of 16 words, each word spoken in one of four intonations.
(13) The hearing-impaired subjects produced four different types of deviant intonation contours.
(14) Two experiments were conducted to explore the effectiveness of a single vibrotactile stimulator to convey intonation (question versus statement) and contrastive stress (on one of the first three words of four 4- or 5-word sentences).
(15) That's as it should be, since the state (not the "taxpayer" as the media constantly intones) currently owns 81% and 39% of RBS and Lloyds TSB respectively.
