Plant cells cannot rearrange their positions; therefore, sharp tissue boundaries must be accurately programmed. Movement of the cell fate regulator SHORT-ROOT from the stele to the ground tissue has been associated with transferring positional information across tissue boundaries. The zinc finger BIRD protein JACKDAW has been shown to constrain SHORT-ROOT movement to a single layer, and other B...

The formation of Casparian strips and suberin lamellae at the endodermis limits the free diffusion of nutrients and harmful substances via the apoplastic space between the soil solution and the stele in roots [1-3]. Casparian strips are ring-like lignin polymers deposited in the middle of anticlinal cell walls between endodermal cells and fill the gap between them [4-6]. Suberin lamellae are gl...

Abstract The goal of this paper1 was to shed light on the existence stelae from Viminacium in province Upper Moesia which can be classified as topped by two reclining lions. This type stelae, surmounted lions and one element between them, well-known Noricum Pannonia. There no archaeological evidence previous studies did not point out that present Moesia. study has shown M. Valerius Speratus, T....

Multiple small molecule hormones contribute to growth promotion or restriction in plants. Brassinosteroids (BRs), acting specifically in the epidermis, can both drive and restrict shoot growth. However, our knowledge of how BRs affect meristem size is scant. Here, we study the root meristem and show that BRs are required to maintain normal cell cycle activity and cell expansion. These two proce...

Histological changes in roots of Beta vulgaris cultivar 'USH9A' resulting from infection of Meloidogyne hapla alone, Heterodera schachtii alone, or infection by both species on one feeding site were studied. Anatomical changes caused by M. hapla infection were characterized by regions of hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Giant cells were formed within the stele and varied in numbers from 4-7/feeding...

The anatomy of the developing root of Arabidopsis is described using conventional histological techniques, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The root meristem is derived from cells of the hypophysis and adjacent cells of the embryo proper. The postembryonic organization of the root is apparent in the mature embryo and is maintained in the growing primary root after germination. Cel...

Imperata cylindrica Linn. Beauv (Poaceae), commonly known as Darbh in Hindi, is an important drug of “Trinpanchmool” and used extensively for the treatment of various ailments viz. urinary calculi, retention of urine, diabetes, cardiac disorder, gout, common cough and cold, inflammation, anemia, as aphrodisiac, etc. The present study was aimed to undertake pharmacognostical studies to fulfill t...

This paper will examine the development of emotion in Greek sculpture; beginning with its overall absence in the Late Archaic period and continuing through its inception in the Early Classical period and its zenith during the Hellenistic Age. My chapters will each focus on a different style of sculpture and how emotion developed in each of them. I begin with architectural sculpture, tracing how...
