Despite a lack of visible morphological differentiation, the two domed lineages are as genetically distinct from each other as from tortoises occurring on other islands.
In addition to their neural morphological differentiation, the effects of BDNF were investigated by Western blot analysis.
Simple morphological traits are used to describe the architecture of a tree: the growth and branching process, the morphological differentiation of the axes and the position of reproductive structures.
The expansion of this gene family concomitant with the morphological differentiation of the silk glands has been proposed as the explanation for the evolution of novel silk functions [ 28, 29, 33, 44].
The α6β1 integrin ligand laminin is known to enhance the morphological differentiation of the oligodendrocytes and also to control the timing of MBP expression (Buttery and ffrench-Constant, 1999; Laursen et al., 2011).
Our results suggest that the lineage-specific morphological differentiations reflected in the upper lip, a functional organ for insect pollination, are likely adaptive responses to pollinator shifts.
Bayesian clusters, principal coordinate analysis and population genetic distance trees all classified the oaks into two main groups consistent with the morphological differentiation of the two taxa rather than with geographic locations using both types of markers.
To analyze the bell stage of human tooth germ and ameloblastoma to determine the level of morphological differentiation in the constituting cells of the enamel organ and ameloblastoma.
Besides, it is likely that other factors might have influenced the morphological differentiation of the flight apparatus as well, such as differences in foraging, breeding habitat or sexual selection of different sub-populations.
However, removal of growth factors increased the morphological differentiation of the cells towards a more complex cell shape similar to that observed in post-mitotic more mature oligodendrocytes.
