LAM from any particular source is heterogeneous with regard to size, the pattern of branching of the side-chains and acylation and phosphorylation of the mannan core and the arabinan side chains [ 14].
Today, evolutionary trees are the subject of detailed, rigorous analysis that seeks to reconstruct the patterns of branching that have led to the diversity of life as we know it (e.g., Cracraft and Donoghue 2004; Hodkinson and Parnell 2007; Lecointre and Le Guyader 2007; Maddison and Schultz 2007).
The patterns of branches, the smell of the eucalyptus, the hubbub of other people, barking dogs, twittering birds, blended and disintegrated at the same time.
The pattern of branching itself is the focus of a cladogram; the relative lengths of branches in cladograms have no special significance (Figure 4).
CORRECTION: In a phylogeny, information about relatedness is portrayed by the pattern of branching, not by the order of taxa at the tips of the tree.
The topology of a tree is merely the pattern of branching that describes the relationships between all the different lineages.
Overall, the shape of the tree and therefore the pattern of branching that it hypothesizes are known as its "topology".
Recently, Gjorevski et al. used a similar combination of confocal microscopy, TFM and FEM to demonstrate that the pattern of branching morphogenesis of 3D epithelial tissues occurs at regions of elevated mechanical stress and that the extent of branching in this tissue model correlates with the magnitude of stress at branching sites [31].
Here, we examined the relative roles played by these stimulatory and inhibitory signals in the patterning of branch initiation and extension of model mammary epithelial tubules in culture.
Interestingly, in the tropical tree species already mentioned, the sympodial branching habit of the roots was repeated in the pattern of branches within the leafy canopy of the shoot system.
