What's the difference between polygeny and polygony?

Polygeny


Definition:

  • (n.) The theory that living organisms originate in cells or embryos of different kinds, instead of coming from a single cell; -- opposed to monogenesis.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Study results are organized into 2 parts-the first part dealing with live births, stillbirths, fertility, maternal age and age-parity analysis, and the second part presenting findings on social factors such as birth interval, illegitimate births, adoption, widowhood, polygeny and divorce.
  • (2) This is in contrast to the formal genetic model of additive polygeny (HOLT).
  • (3) Polygenis bohlsi jordani (Costa Lima, 1937) (Siphonaptera) is for the first time recorded as ectoparasite on wild rodents captured in the "cerrado" area of Central Brazil.
  • (4) Tiamastus callens and Polygenis platensis cisandinus are new for this country; Tetrapsyllus maulinus sp.
  • (5) The most frequent species of mammal was Proechimys dimidiatus (Gunther, 1877); Gigantolaelaps oudemansi Fonseca, 1939 and Polygenis lakoi GuimarĂ£es, 1948 were the predominant species of acari and fleas, respectively.

Polygony


Definition:

  • (n.) Any plant of the genus Polygonum.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The medicinal herbs consist of: Rhizoma Gastrodiae, Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis, Poria cocos, Flos Chrysanthemi, Akebia quinata, Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Fructus Liquidambris, Radix Rehmanniae, Rhizoma Alismatis, Radix Scrophulariae, Fructus Lycii, Radix Glycyrrhizae, Semen Plantaginis and Semen Vaccariae.
  • (2) Out of the 19 extracts those of Berchemia Racemosa Caulis, Aurantii Nobilis Pericarpium, Polygoni Avicularis Herba and Gentianae Scabrae Radix, also inhibited the release of several intrahepatic enzymes used as parenchymal injury parameter.
  • (3) This study reports that the methanol extracts of Caryophylli Flos, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Myricae Cortex and Forsythiae Fructus protect the hepatic injury by CC14 and these protective effects are connected with the inhibitory effects of the lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes.
  • (4) Among them methanol extracts of Caryophylli Flos, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Myricae Cortex and Forsythiae Fructus were newly found to have protective effects against acute hepatic injury induced by CCl4.
  • (5) Induction effects of inducers, such as PB, DEX, CPIB and Radix Paeoniae Rubra 801 (RPR 801), Radix Polygoni Multiflori (RPM), Herba Artemisiae Scopariae (HAS) on cardiac and hepatic CEase activities were observed.
  • (6) The effects of 5 crude drugs (Myricae Cortex, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Hyperici Erecti Herba, Forsythiae Fructus, Desmodii Herba) on subacute and chronic hepatic injuries induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) were investigated in rats.
  • (7) they are polygonial, flat and bear few surface projections in contrast to the normal 14 day condition where these cells are spindle shaped, convex and have many microvilli.
  • (8) The sedative-hypnotic effect of Caulis Polygoni multiflori decoction (CPMD) was studied by the rolling cylinder method in mice and by the somnopolygraphic recording method in rats.
  • (9) This paper reports 30 cases of hearing-loss induced by aminoglycoside antibiotic ototoxicity treated mainly with Kidney-tonifying herbs such as Herba Epimedii, Rhizoma Drynariae, Rhizoma Polygonati, Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Magnetitum and Rhizoma Acori Graminei, etc.
  • (10) Polygoni Avicularis Herba and Desmodii Herba among 5 crude drugs also protected the subacute hepatic injury induced by ANIT-injection for 4 weeks.
