What's the difference between ovule and proembryo?
Ovule
Definition:
(n.) The rudiment of a seed. It grows from a placenta, and consists of a soft nucleus within two delicate coatings. The attached base of the ovule is the hilum, the coatings are united with the nucleus at the chalaza, and their minute orifice is the foramen.
(n.) An ovum.
Example Sentences:
(1) Eight-week-old virgin untreated female mice were induced to ovulate using equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and were then caged with males overnight.
(2) The total content of both thyroid hormones in the oocytes increased throughout most of the ovarian cycle as the oocytes increased in size from less than 2 mg to approximately 6.5 mg by ovulation.
(3) GnRH infusion produced an immediate increase in plasma LH concentrations in the mares that ovulated during the infusion period and LH levels peaked at the time of ovulation.
(4) An experimental model was established in the ewe allowing one to predict with accuracy an antral follicle that coincidentally would either undergo ovulation (6-8 mm diameter) or atresia (3-4 mm diameter) following synchronization of luteal regression and the onset of the gonadotropin surge.
(5) We conclude that plasma LAP measurements have little value in monitoring ovulation induction therapy.
(6) The mean ovulation age for the 728 abortuses was 63.4 days (range 33--109 days).
(7) These results strongly suggest that urinary GAGs determination is a precise method for ovulation detection.
(8) These findings suggest, not only that cAMP production alone is sufficient for ovulation, but also that the receptor specificity of the cAMP production is important for the number of ovulations.
(9) These cells produce a neurohormone which stimulates ovulation.
(10) Following parturition, NONLAC cows averaged 4.0 d to negative EB nadir and 14.3 d to first ovulation.
(11) LH serum levels were measured by radioimmunoassay on 10 women who were near the time of presumed ovulation.
(12) Bactrian camels (63 female female, 8 male male) were used in the breeding season to determine the factors that will induce ovulation.
(13) A dose of 3.75 mg and even 4.0 mg of conjugated estrogen was not sufficient to inhibit ovulation.
(14) During 70 days or so from the time of recruitment until just before the beginning of the cycle during which a follicle is destined to ovulate, folliculogenesis is a continuous process dependent on gonadotrophins but independent of the fluctuations in their concentrations occurring during this time.
(15) In all patients buserelin clearly suppressed ovulation.
(16) Repeated laparoscopy in the same animal throughout the menstrual cycle showed by morphological and hormonal criteria that this technique does not significantly influence follicular growth, ovulation, luteal function or cycle length.
(17) 6-OHDA administered intraventricularly in doses 200-500 mug caused temporary blockade of ovulation.
(18) The data are expressed as percent inhibition of ovulation in the treated vs. the untreated ovaries.
(19) Circular cuts which surgically isolated the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) from the remainder of the brain did not prevent copulation 4 to 24 h later, but did block reflex ovulation.
(20) In spite of small corpora lutea and increased follicular activity, none of the prednisolone treated heifers showed signs of oestrogen influence, and the two animals slaughtered 26 days after the start of treatment, did not ovulate or show signs of oestrus.
Proembryo
Definition:
(n.) The series of cells formed in the ovule of a flowering plant after fertilization, but before the formation of the embryo.
(n.) The primary growth from the spore in certain cryptogamous plants; as, the proembryo, or protonema, of mosses.
Example Sentences:
(1) The highest number of proembryos was obtained in the hybrid Triticale in F3 generation on Blayder's medium supplemented with 3 and 12% sucrose.
(2) Differences were found in the concentration of cytoplasmic proteins between the callus and proembryo cells.
(3) The stimulation of embryogenesis by 2,4-D resulted in an increase of nuclear concentration of basic proteins in proembryos.
(4) In callus the increase of DNA content was accompanied by proportional increase in nuclear size whereas in proembryos the increase in nuclear size did not match the increasing amount of DNA.
(5) Proembryos represented multi-nuclear and multicellular formations which stagnated at the globular stage of development.
(6) There was a linear relation between an increase in DNA content and size of nuclei, nucleoli and cells in callus and proembryos (Theobroma cacao L.).
(7) Differences between callus and proembryo cells were also observed in the concentration of cytoplasmic proteins.
(8) Together with the increase in nuclear size of callus and proembryo cells the increase in the amount of nuclear basic proteins was found.
(9) In callus as well as in proembryo the increase in total protein content in nucleus was not equivalent to the increasing sizes of nuclei which leads to the decrease in nuclear protein concentration.
(10) In proembryos a significant increase in cell size was accompanied by only slight changes in cytoplasmic proteins.
