When we look past the obvious trait of fruiting, we do find that there are five such groups containing only protosteloid amoebae and that their morphological identity is clear when all other detailed stages of the life-cycle are considered.
M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus were collected in South Korea, and their ploidy levels and morphological identities were determined as in a previous report [ 22].
Within the SV, left morphological, molecular, and functional identity is achieved through multiple developmental steps, corresponding to distinct actions of Pitx2 on SV cardiomyocytes.
The species identity was determined by morphological (41, 42) and biochemical (43- 45) criteria.
These analyses indicate that, although the mutant arteries displayed morphological features of veins, their arterial identity was intact in notch3 zm/zm mutants.
Species identity was primarily based on morphological characters (throat and belly pattern and morphological measurements); for a subset (conveniently arranged along transects across the contact zone) diagnostic allozyme markers have been published [ 17, 18], Arntzen et al. submitted].
Caenorhabditis genus identity was confirmed by microscopy using morphological criteria [ 34].
That is, Heterococcus species identity is limited to light microscopic morphological characters interpreted within the extensive plasticity that is exhibited during culture studies [ 1, 2, 6].
Moreover, the diploid species within L. ovalifolium complex have imperfect but reasonable morphological differentiation but genetic co-variation with species identity was relatively modest.
Specific identity was narrowed down by their dual ciliated sensory endings (Fig. 2g inset), a morphological feature of only ADFL/R and ADLL/R.
