(n.) A continuation of the petiole, extending from the base to the apex of the lamina of a leaf.
Example Sentences:
(1) Extent of digestion of the hemicellulosic monosaccharides, xylose, and uronic acids was higher in situ for brown midrib silages compared with normal genotypes.
(2) The promoter for chloroplast GS2 directs GUS expression within photosynthetic cell types (e.g., palisade parenchymal cells of the leaf blade, chlorenchymal cells of the midrib and stem, and photosynthetic cells of tobacco cotyledons).
(3) Disappearance of p-coumaric acid was higher in steers consuming normal genotypes than in those consuming brown midribs.
(4) p-Coumaric acid disappearance was higher in heifers consuming normal genotypes than in those on brown midrib mutants.
(5) Vanillin was lower, whereas para-coumaric acid was higher, in normal genotypes than in brown midrib mutants.
(6) Digestion kinetics for in situ studies showed no difference in rate constants between normal and brown midrib sorghums, but extent of digestion at 72 h was significantly higher for brown midrib mutants than for normal genotypes, suggesting that lignin has no effect on digestion rate but does result in a decreased extent of digestion.
(7) Total tract hemicellulose digestibility (estimated by summing fractional digestibilities of hemicellulosic monosaccharides) was higher in brown midrib mutants than in normal genotypes.
(8) Arabinose, xylose, and uronic acids were more digestible in brown midrib genotypes than in normal genotypes.
(9) Total tract galactose digestibility was higher in brown midrib genotypes than in normal genotypes.
(10) Brown midrib genotypes had lower NDF, acid detergent lignin, and hemicellulose concentrations than did normal genotypes.
(11) Diets were normal and brown midrib genotypes of Redlan x Greenleaf and Redlan x Piper varieties of ensiled first-cutting sorghum-sudangrass harvested at early head stage of maturity.
(12) Diets included two sorghum X sudangrass varieties, Redlan X Greenleaf and Redlan X Piper, and their corresponding brown midrib mutants.
(13) Relative expression ratios in leaf, root, midrib, callus, and stem tissue of tobacco plants are 1:5:4:10:17.
(14) The objectives of this experiment were to determine fluid and particulate rate of passage from the rumen and extent of digestion at various sites along the gastrointestinal tract in sheep fed normal and brown midrib sorghum X sudangrass hybrids.
(15) There was no significant difference between brown midrib and normal diets in the rate of in situ cell wall digestion or in digestion lag time.
(16) Spinal cord stimulation at the T2-T3 spinal level resulted in maximal inspired volume generation and electrical activation of the parasternal, external, and internal intercostal muscles of the upper and midrib cage regions as determined by electromyograms.
(17) However, brown midrib diets had greater extent of digestion and greater apparent digestibility than normal diets.
(18) Brown midrib genotypes had higher hemicellulosic monosaccharides, galactose, and uronic acids than did normal genotypes.
(19) Differences in alkali-soluble phenolic compound and cell wall monosaccharide profiles between normal and brown midrib genotypes may help explain digestibility differences between the two genotypes.
(20) Acid detergent fiber and acid detergent lignin concentrations tended to be lower for brown midrib mutants than for normal genotypes of the same variety.
Pinnatifid
Definition:
(a.) Divided in a pinnate manner, with the divisions not reaching to the midrib.
