(a.) Long and filiform, and almost naked, or having only leaves at the joints where it strikes root; as, a sarmentose stem.
(a.) Bearing sarments; sarmentaceous.
Example Sentences:
Stolon
Definition:
(n.) A trailing branch which is disposed to take root at the end or at the joints; a stole.
(n.) An extension of the integument of the body, or of the body wall, from which buds are developed, giving rise to new zooids, and thus forming a compound animal in which the zooids usually remain united by the stolons. Such stolons are often present in Anthozoa, Hydroidea, Bryozoa, and social ascidians. See Illust. under Scyphistoma.
Example Sentences:
(1) If the compounds are applied in a pulse during metamorphosis, a large part of the available tissue forms stolons.
(2) The youngest, forming desmocytes are found in the distal end of the stolon 0.5-1.0 mm from the base of the hydranth.
(3) When whole animals are exposed to SIF, stolons sprout not only from the base of the polyps but also from abnormal sites along the entire body, even from the head.
(4) Selected recombinants have been used to demonstrate that phosphorylase mRNA is most abundant in tubers but is also detectable in stolon, root, stem and leaf tissue.
(5) A cDNA clone (pPCM-1) for plant calmodulin was isolated by screening a potato stolon tip cDNA library with a chicken calmodulin cDNA.
(6) By analogy to processes in angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), the development of the stolonal network in colonial hydrozoa involves stimulation of branching and mutual chemotropic attraction of the growing branches by means of soluble morphogenetic factors.
(7) No significant differences in macro- and micromorphology were found between the parasitic stolon and free-living polyps of Polypodium sp.
(8) Remnants have lost their mesogleal connection and are located in more proximal, older regions of upright stolon.
(9) Stolon tips showed the highest levels of calmodulin mRNA, suggesting a role for calmodulin in the tuberization process.
(10) The granule-bound starch synthase gene is expressed organ-specifically since stolons and tubers showed GUS activities 125- to 3350-fold higher than in leaves.
(11) These results are very similar to these ones occuring in Syllidae with the stolonization mode of reproduction.
(12) Micropipettes ejecting SIF mimic the inducing action of stolon tips, the putative sources of SIF.
(13) At high SIF doses the whole hydranth is transformed into stolon tissue.
(14) Incubation of larvae in 10 to 20 microM-homarine or trigonelline prevents head as well as stolon formation.
(15) The process of tuber formation also changed, resulting in significantly more tubers both per plant and per stolon.
(16) Support provided by the desmocytes to the upright stolon is limited by three factors that characterize the athecate hydroid: distribution of perisarc, pattern of growth, and extent of movement.
(17) The capsule of the dormant bud has some structural features in common with the black stolon of the adult zooids.
(18) An anti-HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) phenolic constituent, licopyranocoumarin (4), and two other new phenolics named licoarylcoumarin (5) and glisoflavone (6) were isolated from Si-pei licorice (a commercial licorice; root and stolon of Glycyrrhiza sp.
(19) Treatment of developing colonies of Podocoryne carnea, a hydractiniid hydroid, with dilute solutions of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, accelerates the usual ontogenetic trajectory of polyp and stolon production.
(20) In addition, the polyp (hydranth) secretes a chitinous periderm which, in the species under investigation, normally envelops stolons but not hydranths.
