What's the difference between panicle and thyrsus?

Panicle


Definition:

  • (n.) A pyramidal form of inflorescence, in which the cluster is loosely branched below and gradually simpler toward the end.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The genetic control of four developmental characters was studied in Amaranthus caudatus L. Determinant panicle growth was determined by one recessive gene.
  • (2) The phosphorylation of pp70 does not depend by exogenous Ca++ or cAMP, suggesting that pp70 is a major substrate of an Ca++ or cAMP independent protein kinase in rice young panicle.
  • (3) This mutant was crossed with a heavy-panicle type variety, and semi-dwarf plants permitting a more efficient distribution of light within the canopy were obtained.
  • (4) Two major genes governed panicle orientation, with erect panicles incompletely dominant to drooping panicles.
  • (5) Additional modifier genes appeared to alter expression of panicle orientation.
  • (6) The pp70 which represents the major phosphoprotein in the crude extract of young panicle of rice is a cytosolic protein.
  • (7) This gene (Gns1) is expressed at relatively low levels in germinating seeds, shoots, leaves, panicles and callus, but it is expressed at higher levels in roots.
  • (8) 2) In the studied species of artiodactyla, cow, pig and sheep, a qualitative new, panicle-like pattern arised as a result of superposition of spermatozoa head pendular movements around the axis of forward motility and the other one around the head axis.
  • (9) It was also effective against neck and panicle blast at the same concentration range.
  • (10) At least eight major phosphoproteins with apparent molecular weights of 70, 60, 52, 40, 33, 30, 20, 16 and 15 kd were detected in the crude extract of rice young panicle.
  • (11) The endogenous phosphorylation pattern of the extract prepared from rice young panicle has been examined.

Thyrsus


Definition:

  • (n.) A staff entwined with ivy, and surmounted by a pine cone, or by a bunch of vine or ivy leaves with grapes or berries. It is an attribute of Bacchus, and of the satyrs and others engaging in Bacchic rites.
  • (n.) A species of inflorescence; a dense panicle, as in the lilac and horse-chestnut.
