I had a one-room studio which overlooked an ancient courtyard filled with flowers and plants, blooming everlastingly in the southern sun.

Our take-up machines and our twister-coners are undergoing important pilot plant testing for application with new high polymer yarns, in several fiber producing plants.

) The plants took zero nights in their stride, with nothing but a mat of straw over the glass to protect them.

Can you share medical facilities and staff with neighboring plants??

Their appearance, next spring, coincides in an almost uncanny way with the flowering of their host plants.

Root and stem tumors from sweet clover plants infected with WTV were quick-frozen in liquid nitrogen, embedded in ice, and cut at 3 - 6 **ym in a cryostat maintained at -16-degrees to -20-degrees.

They are all suburban plants, relying on the roads to keep them supplied with workers.

In one famous example, he counsels Alexander to be ' a leader to the Greeks and a despot to the barbarians, to look after the former as after friends and relatives, and to deal with the latter as with beasts or plants '.

At the end of the Devonian period (), the seas, rivers and lakes were teeming with life but the land was the realm of early plants and devoid of vertebrates though some, such as Ichthyostega, may have sometimes hauled themselves out of the water.

Even though they do not compete directly with cultivated plants, sometimes winter annuals are considered a pest in commercial agriculture, because they can be hosts for insect pests or fungal diseases ( ovary smut – Microbotryum sp ) which attack crops being cultivated.

Along with the other genus in the Boryaceae family, Alania, these xerophytic plants are native to Australia.

It includes perennial herbaceous plants which are glabrous and have short rhizomes with fibrous roots or are rhizomatous with root tubers.

For example, Pyrethrum ( refers to several Old World plants of the genus Chrysanthemum ) is a natural insecticide with minimal environmental impact.

Making non-arable land arable often involves digging new irrigation canals and new wells, aqueducts, desalination plants, planting trees for shade in the desert, hydroponics, fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer, pesticides, reverse osmosis water processors, PET film insulation or other insulation against heat and cold, digging ditches and hills for protection against the wind, and greenhouses with internal light and heat for protection against the cold outside and to provide light in cloudy areas.

The Apiaceae ( or Umbelliferae ), commonly known as carrot or parsley family, is a group of mostly aromatic plants with hollow stems.

The family is large, with more than 3, 700 species spread across 434 genera, it is the sixteenth largest family of flowering plants.

Tuna fishing and processing plants are the backbone of the private sector, with canned tuna being the primary export.

In many animistic world views found in hunter-gatherer cultures, the human being is often regarded as on a roughly equal footing with other animals, plants, and natural forces.

* 1960 – Sputnik program: Korabl-Sputnik 2 – the Soviet Union launches the satellite with the dogs Belka and Strelka, 40 mice, 2 rats and a variety of plants.

The genus also contains several well-known ornamental plants, such as Amaranthus caudatus ( love-lies-bleeding ), a native of India and a vigorous, hardy annual with dark purplish flowers crowded in handsome drooping spikes.

He had noticed, says Polybius, a “ place between the two camps, flat indeed and treeless, but well adapted for an ambuscade, as it was traversed by a water-course with steep banks, densely overgrown with brambles and other thorny plants, and here he proposed to lay a stratagem to surprise the enemy ”.

This could possibly be because the plants need a stronger network to survive in a harsher environment, so their interactions between species, such as cross-pollination or mutualistic actions, become more common to cope with the severity of their habitat.

Alkaloids are produced by a large variety of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, and are part of the group of natural products ( also called secondary metabolites ).

Woody plants, such as azaleas and oaks, undergo a secondary growth phase resulting in two additional types of tissues: wood ( secondary xylem ) and bark ( secondary phloem and cork ).

In plants, a secondary cell wall is a thicker additional layer of cellulose which increases wall rigidity.

The relative composition of carbohydrates, secondary compounds and protein varies between plants and between the cell type and age.

In some plants and cell types, after a maximum size or point in development has been reached, a secondary wall is constructed between the plasma membrane and primary wall.

These glycosides are found as secondary metabolites in several plants, but also in some animals, such as the milkweed butterflies.

Arabinoxylans are found in both the primary and secondary cell walls of plants and are the copolymers of two pentose sugars: arabinose and xylose.

The biochemistry section also expanded to facilitate research into secondary compounds that could be derived from plants for medicinal purposes.

It is among the secondary metabolites of plants from Solanaceae ( nightshade ) family of plants, such as henbane, jimson weed, Angel's Trumpets ( Datura or Brugmansia ), and corkwood ( Duboisia ).

Additionally, " cultivation " or " cultivating " may refer to an even narrower sense of shallow, selective secondary tillage of row crop fields that kills weeds while sparing the crop plants.

* in secondary xylem, laid down by a meristem called the vascular cambium in woody plants

In transitional stages of plants with secondary growth, the first two categories are not mutually exclusive, although usually a vascular bundle will contain primary xylem only.

* Structural roots: large roots that have undergone considerable secondary thickening and provide mechanical support to woody plants and trees.

The epicuticular waxes of plants are mixtures of substituted long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, containing alkanes, fatty acids, primary and secondary alcohols, diols, ketones, aldehydes.

These aromatics are usually secondary metabolites produced by plants as protection against herbivores, infections, as well as to attract pollinators.

Aquatic producers, such as planktonic algae or aquatic plants, lack the large accumulation of secondary growth as exists in the woody trees of terrestrial ecosystems.

Thus, the intriguing similarities between Euglena and the plants would have arisen not because of kinship but because of a secondary endosymbiosis.

Often a secondary covering called the periderm forms on small woody stems and many non woody plants, which is composed of cork ( phellem ), the cork cambium ( phellogen ), and the phelloderm.

Lignin or lignen is a complex chemical compound most commonly derived from wood, and an integral part of the secondary cell walls of plants and some algae.

It is a secondary metabolite found in certain plants of the Solanaceae family, including henbane ( Hyoscyamus niger ), mandrake ( Mandragora officinarum ), jimsonweed ( Datura stramonium ), tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) and deadly nightshade ( Atropa belladonna ).

The age of some herbaceous perennial plants can be determined by analyzing annual growth rings in the secondary root xylem, a method called herbchronology.
