Our focus was to sample leaves of representatives of southern African tree genera and families for ease of collection and sustainable use in case exciting activities are found.
Without localism and a sense of identity, what will be left of representative democracy?
The flavonoid content of the leaves of three representative cultivars was assessed under the optimized extraction and HPLC analytical conditions, and the seed-producing cultivar 'Baijianlian' had the highest flavonoid content compared with rhizome-producing 'Zhimahuoulian' and wild floral cultivar 'Honglian'.
The biological replicates were obtained by pooling the leaves of five representative plants from each cultivar under a particular treatment (0, 10 and 17 days of drought stress and recovery irrigation).
Castro et al. (1997) reviewed the secretory structures in the leaves of 72 representative Asteracean species and found eight different types of trichomes, among them uniseriate (composed of one row of cells) and peltate types.
Before and after incubation the true leaves of 4 8 representative plants were harvested, stuck on white paper with double sided tape, scanned with a flatbed scanner without color correction at a resolution of 600 dpi, and saved as TIFF files.
Major soluble sugars and starch were measured in the leaves and petioles of representative lines.
"While I was leaving the office of Representative Barbara Lee (my home district), I overheard a young man passing me in the hallway say to his colleagues 'I had never met a trans person before today.' ".
Samples of complete leaves, representative of the species, were identified by the Herbarium of the University of Campinas (São Paulo, Brazil), where a voucher was deposited (reference number UEC 150024).
Plants grown under N- presented dramatically smaller and lighter green-colored leaves as compared with those from plants grown under regular and especially luxuriant N. The Figure 1d shows a closer-up of representative leaves from the most contrasting treatments (N- and N+).
