(6) Treatment of Vicia faba main root meristems with methyl iodide (MeI) 2 h before challenge treatment with triethylene melamine (TEM) significantly reduced the yield of metaphases with chromatid aberrations, i.e., resulted in clastogenic adaptation.

(8) We have developed a procedure for a high-yield isolation of protoplasts allowing an accurate flow-cytometric analysis with a few micrograms of meristem tissues.
(9) The study was carried out on nuclei isolated from the root meristem of Pinus silvestris.
(10) The rapidity and reversibility of such responses, and their apparent independence of changes in carbon supply or meristem cell turgor are held to support the hypothesis that chilling alters the physical properties of the walls of extending cells within the meristematic zone.
(11) The transcription of the pea ENOD2 gene starts when the inner cortical cells develop from the nodule meristem.
(12) Arabidopsis flowers develop from groups of undifferentiated cells on the flank of an inflorescence meristem.
(13) Chromosomal DNA fiber replication was investigated in the shoot meristem of mustard plants during the morphogenetic transition from the leaf-forming (vegetative) to the flower-forming (evoked) condition.
(14) That is, although NodH mutants lose the ability to elicit root hair curling (Hac-), infection threads (Inf-), and nodule meristem formation (Nod-) on the homologous host alfalfa, they gain the ability to be Hac+ Inf+ Nod+ on a nonhomologous host such as common vetch.
(15) The kinetics of nodule formation by these mutant strains, by an exoB mutant, and by mixed mutant inocula suggest that the gene products required for nodule invasion may also influence nodule meristem induction.
(16) Analysis of genetic mosaics and direct observation with the SEM have broken leaf development into three distinct phases: recruitment of cells within the meristem, cell division into the 0.6-mm tall primordium, and postprimordial division and differentiation into the mature leaf.
(17) Stage 1 begins with the initiation of a floral buttress on the flank of the apical meristem.

(19) In order to determine the best conditions to carry out quantitative ultrastructural studies in plant specimens, five different fixation techniques, including some of the most reported electron microscopy fixatives (glutaraldehyde-paraformaldehyde, osmium tetroxide, potassium permanganate), were assayed in onion root meristems to check their ability to induce morphometric changes in Golgi apparatus ultrastructure.
(20) Changes in the internal structure of the mitochondria having the developed system of crystae in the actively growing apices and those with weakly developed crystae in the resting seed or low active "waiting meristem" are much more pronounced.
Prolepsis
Definition:
(n.) A figure by which objections are anticipated or prevented.
(n.) A necessary truth or assumption; a first or assumed principle.
(n.) An error in chronology, consisting in an event being dated before the actual time.
(n.) The application of an adjective to a noun in anticipation, or to denote the result, of the action of the verb; as, to strike one dumb.
Example Sentences:
(1) With the appearance of his 18th novel, Millennium People, Ballard demonstrated his powers of prolepsis once more: as anti-terrorist forces rolled into Heathrow airport in February 2003, Ballard was putting the finishing touches to his own work of urban terrorism, a novel which rips open with an explosion at Heathrow's Terminal 2.
