The cap cuticle comprises a distinctive layer of 3 8 μm-wide hyphae that form a layer usually 110 125 μm thick; this layer is less distinct or thinner in old or poorly preserved specimens.
Confirmation of expression in RPCs was possible on section ISH since RPCs reside in a distinctive layer, the outer neuroblastic layer (ONBL), though they are not the only cell type in the ONBL as migrating neurons also are present in this layer.
A distinctive layer of tension wood was formed along the entire length of the stem on only the upper side (negatively orientated to the vector of gravitational stimulus, regardless of horizontal bending of the stem) in all the tension wood induction trees.
In conclusion, our findings demonstrate the presence of a distinctive layer of mitochondria at the cell periphery in PASMCs, forming a restricted diffusion cytosolic space between the mitochondria and plasmalemmal membrane and thus providing a structural basis for a close functional interaction between the Kv channels and mitochondria as supported by the electrophysiological evidence.

Since iridium is common in comets, meteors and meteorites, Alvarez and his team proposed that a giant meteorite was the source of this distinctive layer, and further, this meteorite impact was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs [free PDF].
Our data clearly suggest that in PASMCs mitochondria are spatially arranged in the distinctive layer separate from the SR, forming a compartment with restricted diffusion in the subplasmalemmal space, thus providing a structural basis for a better functional coupling between mitochondria and Kv channels in PASMCs than in systemic arterial myocytes.
