What's the difference between mucro and mucronate?
Mucro
Definition:
(n.) A minute abrupt point, as of a leaf; any small, sharp point or process, terminating a larger part or organ.
Example Sentences:
(1) Toxicity to Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Mucro mucedo was determined in the same medium at pH 5.6 and 7.0 in the absence and presence of 10% beef serum.
Mucronate
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Mucronated
Example Sentences:
(1) The effect of three independent mutations, floury-2 (fl2), Defective endosperm-B30 (De-B30), and Mucronate (Mc), that reduce zein level in the endosperm were investigated.
(2) Boring tooth was present, but mucron was absent; 3.
(3) Plants carrying floury-2, Defective endosperm-B30, or Mucronate mutations overproduce b-70, a maize homolog of the mammalian immunoglobulin binding protein.
(4) The most characteristic features of this nematode are the absence of cervical alae, replaced by narrow lateral crests running along the length of the body and the presence of a mucron at the end of the male tail.
(5) It is characterized by a polycentric thallus, a polynuclear rhizomycelium, mucronate zoosporangia and uniflagellated zoospores.
(6) This filarioid has affinities with the genus Litomosa, but it can be separated by a variety of both more highly evolved characters (buccal capsule reduced to a pre-oesophageal ring; external lateral papillae absent) and primitive characters ("caudal alae" of the male, long and divided oesophagus, vulva not far from the nerve ring, numerous caudal mucrons of the female).
(7) These species were identified clearly by the presence of a boring tooth, a mucron, and other morphological features.
(8) The mucron of young gamonts was bordered by an invaginated pellicular fold, and an electron-opaque vesicular structure was observed adjacent to it.
(9) The male tail was relatively long, smoothly attenuated and often had a small button-like or mucronate termination.
