What is "cauterised"

Usage examples of "cauterised".

General considerations--Vicia faba, effects of amputating the tips of the radicles--Regeneration of the tips--Effects of a short exposure of the tips to geotropic action and their subsequent amputation--Effects of amputating the tips obliquely--Effects of cauterising the tips--Effects of grease on the tips--Pisum sativum, tips of radicles cauterised transversely, and on their upper and lower sides--Phaseolus, cauterisation and grease on the tips--Gossypium--Cucurbita, tips cauterised transversely, and on their upper and lower sides--Zea, tips cauterised--Concluding remarks and summary of chapter--Advantages of the sensibility to geotropism being localised in the tips of the radicles.

Bearing this fact in mind, it should be observed that the length of the curved part of the radicle, which had become deflected from the cauterised side in the course of 8 h.

The bending from the cauterised side occurred much slower than in the previously described species, and it will perhaps be worth while to give our trials in detail.

After one day slight deflection, but the cauterised mark was so faint that the same side was again touched with caustic.

After three days doubtfully, but after four days certainly deflected from the cauterised side.

The tips of 5 radicles were cauterised with nitrate of silver, and about 1 mm.

Of 7 not cauterised radicles observed at the same time, all had come into contact with the sieve.

The tips of 15 radicles were cauterised with nitrate of silver, and they grew as well as those above described with greased tips.

Of the 54 cauterised radicles one case was doubtful, 25 curved themselves from the light in the normal manner, and 28, or more than half, were not in the least apheliotropic.

It is probable that if the tips had been cauterised for the length of a whole millimeter, all signs of apheliotropism would have disappeared.

After an interval of three or four days the contrast in appearance between the cauterised and control specimens was wonderfully great.

Nineteen young radicles with cauterised tips were extended at different times horizontally over water.

A section of one of the cauterised tips showed that the blackened part was 0.

When the caustic was applied to the three cauterised specimens, it was held quite motionless during 5 seconds, and the result was that the black marks were extremely minute.

It would be superfluous to describe in detail the behaviour of the 10 remaining cauterised radicles.
