The Researcher, The Mentor, The Galvanizer Sherwin John Carlquist is a botanist and a photographer who understood the basic principles of wood anatomy and evolution through his research in Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden (Sherwin, (a)). Sherwin’s studies of dicotyledonous wood evolution has directed him to pursue understanding the evolutionary patterns of islands (Edward & Roy, 1997). This was the turning point where Sherwin’s work finally been acknowledged after thirty long years, on 1991. He had

Today, our lives are based on technology. We have computers, iPods, phones, televisions, etc… but, what about the unnoticeable contributions that affect us more than we could imagine. The screw for example. The screw is everywhere around us. In fact its in your computers, televisions, iPods, and phones. The screw holds your more significant objects together in place. Like the screw the contributions of Greece, India, and China all have an impact on us today but it goes unnoticeable. All of these

Abstract Distribution patterns of Acacia saligna are quite diverse in South Africa especially taking under consideration that they do not have immediate threats that inhibit their spread. However, this species occurs in very different environmental gradients, as it can occur from a wet habitat/area to a bare rock surface that is a very dry habitat. Due to such observations for the distribution of this species a question is imposed in this paper as to how do traits vary along environmental gradients

earliest to flower in the spreading petunia class, and they yield a proliferation of 1 1/2 - 2" blooms that blanket the mounded plants.” (Harris, 2014). Plant Physiology Pigments are chemical compounds, which reflect and absorb only certain wavelengths of visible light. Because pigments interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs, which make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.

the activity in a plant cell and stores the plant’s DNA. (Plant Cell Anatomy, n.d.) • Inside the nucleus is the nucleolus which produces ribosomes. The ribosomes then transport out of the nucleolus and to the rough endoplasmic reticulum for a process called protein synthesis. (Plant Cell Anatomy, n.d.) • The rough endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle that plays a large role in synthesising and proteins. This is an important process called protein synthesis. (Plant Cell Anatomy, n.d.) • The smooth

A wood that has an economical value to the world is the Oak wood. Oak wood comes from a tree or shrub in the genus Quercus. Quercus comes from the family Fagaceae that is also known as the beech family. Oak trees are native to the Northern Hemisphere, which includes deciduous and evergreen from cool temperate to tropical latitudes. North America has the largest amount of oak trees with China trailing in second. The Oak tree is pollinated by wind, which allows it to occur as an evergreen, winter or

Superficially it is similar to other species of Boerhaavia and species of Trianthema and Sesuvium. Due to the minute morphological differences, above plants are erroneously used in medicine as Punarnava, and at times on purpose as an adulterant. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the anatomical features of Punarnava for proper identification of the medicinal plant species for local people and for scientific research. Due to the ambiguity in local names and similar apparent appearance, market samples of

Comparative anatomy This is the study of different body structures of different species to know how they are adapted to different tasks and to understand the adapted changes that have occurred through the life dating from their ancestry to date. In Darwin’s study he tries to explain that different body study structures that one species can look the same have risen to perform different functions. For example birds and insects have wings but they use them differently. The birds use them to fly and

UT Southwestern UT Southwestern Medical School was formed in 1943 in the Southwestern Medical District of Dallas, Texas. It started off as a small wartime medical college and since then has grown exponentially. It now provides care to almost 90,000 patients and oversees 2 million outpatient visits and is affiliated with four hospitals: Parkland Memorial Hospital, Children's Medical Center, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, and St. Paul University Hospital. In 2013, UT Southwestern was ranked 31 in
