If one wanted pictures there were pictures, as large, I seem to remember, as the side of a house, and of a beauty of colour and lustre of surface that I was never afterward to see surpassed.
Passing visitors to Serralves will be drawn in by the aesthetic majesty of the riches on display; on the surface alone, the dazzling lustre of this period of Monir's work is hard to resist.
Profitability of the P. maxima industry is driven primarily by the grading of the five pearl quality traits: shape, size, colour, lustre and surface complexion.
Variable HPS expression in the endocarp likewise generates variation in the quantity and pattern of attachment of the endocarp to the seed surface, thereby affecting the seed lustre.
To determine whether the Hps copy number polymorphisms cosegregate with seed lustre phenotype, seed surface protein (HPS), and associated genetic markers [ 2], we analyzed 30 familiesies from a cross of OX281 and Mukden.
Variation in HPS protein levels expressed in the endocarp could then account for the variable pattern of attachment of this tissue to the seed surface, and the resulting seed lustre phenotypes.
Rock flour acts like jewelers' rouge and produces microscopic scratches, which with time smooth and polish rock surfaces, often to a high lustre.
A ductile, silvery white metal usually with dull lustre owing to a surface film of aluminum oxide, aluminum is light, weighing approximately one-third as much as an equal volume of copper or steel.
The amount of endocarp adhering to the seed surface is the primary determinant of lustre [ 3, 4].
The Hps copy number polymorphisms co-segregated with seed lustre phenotype and HPS surface protein in a cross between dull- and shiny-seeded soybeans.
