Sentence examples for terminal spikelet from inspiring English sources

Concurrently, primary rachis-branches differentiate into secondary rachis-branch meristems (SBMs) or lateral spikelet meristems (LSMs) alternatively, and are terminated by terminal spikelet meristems (TSMs).

After initiating leaves, the apex changes in form and initiates about 20 spikelet primordia, terminating in a terminal spikelet (Figure 2.5g).

In addition to its role in forming lateral meristems, the wild-type LAX1 gene acts as a floral meristem identity gene which specifies the terminal spikelet meristem.

epapillosa (color, shape of pistillate flower bracts; proportion of staminate flowers in terminal spikelet) actually do not separate them in western United States (little correlation with geography, taxonomy; many intermediates between taxa).

Inflorescence: branches 4--16, 8--25 mm, pendent to appressed, deciduous in fruit; branch axis prolonged beyond terminal spikelet node generally > 5 mm, base densely short-hairy; spikelets 1--4 per branch, generally appressed, falling with branch.

Eight field experiments conducted in triticale, designed to vary both sowing date (October through January), growth habit (vernalization requiring vs non-requiring) and to simulate grazing by clipping at the terminal spikelet stage (TS), were performed to monitor plant development.

In lax1-2, whish is a new and stronger allele of the previously reported lax mutant, initiation and/or maintenance of rachis-branches, lateral spikelets, and terminal spikelets was severely prevented.

However, lateral and terminal spikelets of primary and secondary order rachis-branches failed to produce florets.

Therefore, the rice inflorescence or panicle represents a determinate branched structure composed of a main spike bearing primary and secondary rachis-branches, lateral and terminal spikelets (Fig. 1A).

In the bfl1 mutant, although the development of the SAM is normal until primary rachis-branches (PBs) are produced, lateral and terminal spikelets are replaced by secondary rachis-branches (SBs) which then continually initiate higher order branches in a distichous phyllotaxy resulting in an indeterminate branched panicle.

In the fzp2 mutant panicle, the basic branching pattern of the panicle was indistinguishable from that of the wild type; however, specification of both terminal and lateral spikelet meristems was blocked, and sequential rounds of branching occurred at the point where the spikelet meristems are initiated in the wild-type panicle.
