Phalaris, manner of bending--Results of the exclusion of light from their tips--Effects transmitted beneath the surface of the ground--Lateral illumination of the tip determines the direction of the curvature of the base--Cotyledons of Avena, curvature of basal part due to the illumination of upper part--Similar results with the hypocotyls of Brassica and Beta--Radicles of Sinapis apheliotropic, due to the sensitiveness of their tips--Concluding remarks and summary of chapter--Means by which circumnutation has been converted into heliotropism or apheliotropism.

At first the etiologists thought the abscesses were a new form of basal cell cancer, and bone marrow tests were not made.

The spherical glands were still white, but their utricles were broken up into three or four small hyaline spheres, with an irregularly contracted mass in the middle of the basal part.

They differ also from the six sensitive filaments of Dionaea in being colourless, and in having a medial as well as a basal articulation.

Not that they were content with this: they had also seeded the dome with a defensive array of dovin basals.

Named after Phil Hoffmann because it was one of his students who identified it as a basal spinosaur, maybe even the node taxon for the clade.

A glass filament with a bead at its end was affixed to the basal half or leg, just above the hypogean cotyledons, which were again almost surrounded by loose earth.

A filament with a bead at the end was affixed to the basal leg, the movements of which were observed during two days in the usual manner.

The soil was removed from around one of these arched secondary shoots, and a glass filament was affixed to the basal leg.

In Aldrovanda it appears to be the basal parts alone which contract and carry with them the broad, thin margins of the lobes.

As the tips of the cotyledons of Phalaris and Avena bend upwards through the action of apogeotropism before the basal part, and as these same tips when excited by a lateral light transmit some influence to the lower part, causing it to bend, we thought that the same rule might hold good with apogeotropism.

Basal and squamous cell are very curable cancers that are usually treated by removal of the cancerous growth.

The filament was fixed transversely to the basal and almost upright half of the shoot, close beneath the lowest scalelike appendage.

The centrioles and basal bodies are believed in some quarters to be semiautonomous organisms with their own separate genomes.
