Preantennal Region: Head more or less triangular; anterior margin tapered; hyaline margin developed, marginal carina unbroken medially and highly translucent in the mid-anterior part; clypeal suture developed, not touches premarginal carina; ventral preantennal setae (pas) conspicuously long and fine in two pairs; preantennal nodus very short; conus sharply pointed, more or less equal to scape in length; ventral anterior plate present;
pulvinus divided, not surrounded by pulvinal band; torma absent.
Leaves alternate, spiral or distichous; petiolate or subsessile, presence of
pulvinus; extrafloral nectaries absent or present, convex, sessile or stipitate, located between the pairs of leaflets or on the petiole; leaflets 1-many pairs, papyraceous to coriaceous, elliptic to oblong, lanceolate to obovate, apex acuminate, rounded to mucronate, base oblique.
l., formerly grouped together in Mariscus, have spikelets with an adaxial swelling body (
pulvinus) at the prophyll base.
Uncus bifurcated at base, 1/2 times as long as tegument, each fork medium-long, slender at apex, broad at base; tegumen wide and arc-shaped, socii broad and wide, incurved at apex and strongly setose, shorter than uncus; gnathos degenerated; 1
pulvinus between tegument and valva, finger-shaped protuberance at pulvini; valva clavate, wide and thick at base; cucullus thin and long, strongly sclerotized; juxta similar triangle-shaped; saccus medium-long and thin.
Abstract: Some plant species both track and avoid the sun through turgor changes of the
pulvinus tissue at the base of their leaves, maximizing light reception in dim conditions and minimizing cellular damage due to excessive light.
Table (2) shows that Bombax ceiba is morphologically distinct from Ceiba pentanda and Ceiba speciosa in thorn shape & color, trunk developed with butteresses, tree branching type, large
pulvinus, petiole length (14.5cm), leaflet petiolule length (2.6cm), leaflet blade length (11cm)& width (4.8cm) where Bombax ceiba has the highest values, the number, shape and apex of the leaflet and different flowering seasons.
Development of crosses and generations: From 2000-2002, Early Premium, as female parent, was crossed with known genes carrier lines (male parent), the seed was sown 5-7 cm with next leaf (called
pulvinus), appears and the ear length is about 4-5 cm, this stage is called cell meiosis.
The mean number of lerps were as follows: on veins (13 [+ or -] 10.87), between veins (2.7 [+ or -] 3.78), along leaf margins (0.87 [+ or -] 1.18),
pulvinus (0.47 [+ or -] 0.78), and petioles (0.33 [+ or -] 0.96) (Fig.
Cell wall and enzyme changes during graviresponse of the leaf-sheat
pulvinus of oat (Avena sativa).
EHD needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of cattle with clinical signs that include fever; stomatitis; lameness; salivation; redness and scaling of the nose and lips; swelling of the tongue; and erosions of the
pulvinus dentalis, palatinum, and nose.
"Ionic column: a fluted column with a molded base and a capital composed of four volutes, usually parallel to the architrave with a
pulvinus connecting a pair on each side of the column, and an entablature typically consisting of an architrave of three fascias, a richly ornamented frieze, and a cornice corbeled out on egg-and-dart and dentil moldings, with the frieze sometimes omitted."
Six tropical dry forest tree species (four with pulvinii and two without) were studied at the Area de Conservacion Guanacaste in Costa Rica to determine the role of the
pulvinus organ in heat retention and herbivory.
