In this context, the evidence for positive selection in the branch that represents the divergence of Poales DEF-like genes from the rest of the monocot genes suggests that during the morphological divergence of grasses a series of nonsynonymous substitutions took place before the emergence of the characteristic grass floret.
Sward structural characteristics, grass dry matter intake (GDMI) and rumen fermentation were investigated during PI and PII.
Locations for recording aircraft noise in flight are surrounded by flat terrain having no excessive sound absorption characteristics (grass fields cut).
Caryopsis, also called grain, specialized type of dry, one-seeded fruit (achene) characteristic of grasses, in which the ovary wall is united with the seed coat, making it difficult to separate the two except by special milling processes.
Benzoxazinoids, secondary defence metabolites, which are characteristic for grasses (Poaceae), are also stored as inactive glucosides in the plant vacuole.
Thus, irrespective of growth rate, the muscle lipids characteristic of grass fed lambs fulfilled the recommended features of human food components much better than that of stall fed lambs, namely for CLA and C18 3n-3 C18 3n-3
The H2 gas sensing characteristics of grass-like CNT/Ni were found to have a much higher sensor response of ∼11% at 1000 ppm H2 gas, approximately 33 times greater than that of leaf-like CNT/Ni (∼0.33%) without MW treatment.
In this section, the fluid loss characteristics of grass drilling fluids are depicted.
There are certain physiological characteristics of grass SI that resemble features of the Papaver system and Brassica SSI including the dry stigma type and a rapid response to stigma-pollen interactions [ 14].
One way to do this would be to engineer the C4 pathway of photosynthesis characteristic of panicoid grasses into rice (which is a C3 grass), a goal that is being actively pursued (Mitchell and Sheehy, 2006).
