Mausfeld and Vrcibradic considered Mabouya punctatissima to represent a different species on the basis of morphological differences, but were unable to resolve the status of Trachylepis (Xystrolepis) punctata.
After 7 days incubation at 30 °C, single colonies were selected and further purified on the basis of morphological differences.
On the basis of morphological differences, TRPV4 expression as a distal tubule marker, and susceptibility to gentamicin treatment, cell lines of proximal and distal tubule origins were identified.
Sex determination was made on the basis of morphological differences manifest in the pelvic bone, by the examination of greater sciatic notch, preauricular sulcus, ischiopubic ramus, subpubic angle, subpubic concavity, and ventral arc [ 10, 11].
The disadvantages associated with staining for CD31 antigen include co-staining of inflammatory cells, but these can be distinguished from endothelial cells on the basis of morphological differences, and frequent antigen loss due to fixatives that contain acetic acid (Vermeulen et al, 1996).
Although CCs and PCs can be distinguished on the basis of morphological differences, unique lineages and the cell-specific expression patterns of distinct TFs (Bodmer and Frasch, 2010), little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underlie these cell-specific differences.
These are significant results, as they provide support for the monophyly of Bovini and Reduncini as traditionally defined on the basis of major morphological differences, and highlight an area of conflict between morphological and genomic approaches to taxonomic classification.
In this connection, a total of 35 morphologically well-formed single colonies were selected from different soil samples on the basis of their morphological differences in NA plates.
In fact, most of the studies focused on the role of phenotypic plasticity have been traditionally carried out on the basis of the morphological differences [ 10, 34, 35], although some used DNA markers [ 36] or new large-scale gene expression technologies [reviewed in [ 37]].
CD31 is expressed during myelomonocytic cellular differentiation and consequently may cross-react with plasma cells, platelets, neutrophils, peripheral T cells and mantle zone B cells; endothelial staining can be easily differentiated on the basis of the morphological differences.
To assess the degree of morphological difference between the Niata skull shape and other breeds, we calculated the Procrustes distance between mean skull shapes of breeds.
