Pruning, in horticulture, the removal or reduction of parts of a plant, tree, or vine that are not requisite to growth or production, are no longer visually pleasing, or are injurious to the health or development of the plant.
I'm leading UnCollege to hasten that realization and prove that a college degree is not requisite for success.
Furthermore, initiation of tumorigenesis with ALDH1A1- versus Luciferase-targeted shRNA containing cells was identical, demonstrating that ALDH1 enzymatic activity is not requisite in the absence of CPA exposure.
More importantly, accumulated evidence suggests that some of the known virulent factors are not requisite for the full virulence of SS2, as the absence of one or more of these proteins in isolates from infected animals cannot necessarily be associated with a lack of virulence [53] [56].
A low level of empathy and high level of physical aggression are not requisite for a moral life.
Dr. Lazcano makes a good point that the prebiotic synthesis of RNA molecules is not requisite for the validity of the RNA world hypothesis.
Notably, these changes were readily apparent with only moderate decreases in PTEN expression, arguing that complete loss of PTEN, as observed in many ER-negative breast cancers [ 10], is not requisite to elicit PI3K pathway hyperactivation in ER+ cells.
Periventricular and deep white matter changes (leukoariosis) are seen more often and more severely in patients with INPH than in healthy elderly individuals; however, they are not requisite signs for INPH and rather suggest comorbid chronic cerebral ischemia [ 106].
Again as in the case with other signals, p38 MAP kinase is not requisite for cellular apoptosis and clearly the balance of p38 MAP kinase activation versus other signals probably determines cellular outcome.
