| Rhizome bracts and culm sheaths are protective and supportive, while foliage leaf blades are responsible for photosynthesis. |
|
| When the hard anthracite coal is mined the very fine, gritty material is called culm. |
|
| This gene did not affect plant height, indicating that the length of rachis and culm are controlled by independent genetic systems. |
|
| Many semidwarf mutants have pleiotropic effects on traits other than culm length. |
|
| Characteristics: The creamy-white young shoot stands out on the green of the culm and foliage. |
|
| Every year, at the end of the period of growth of the culm and branches, the rhizome continues to advance and branch out under the ground. |
|
| Not only does it confer the free-threshing character, but also it influences glume keeledness, rachis toughness, spike length, spike type, and culm height. |
|
| And in 1991, they planted a grove of bamboo, including Phyllostachys aureosulcata, which has a pale yellow groove running down each elegant culm. |
|
| To be observed on the main culm from ground level to the tip of the main panicle. |
|
| The growth nodes are regularly spaced: unlike a tree trunk which increases in diameter, the culm extends like a telescopic cane. |
|
| Mix all types of products with perfect homogeneity, including culm or long or hard fibers. |
|
| Characteristics: The culm is totally yellow with some random, subtle green stripes on some of the internodes. |
|
| The first major government-funded environmental cleanup saw millions of tons of coal culm dredged from the river. |
|
| However, bamboo culm contains many nutrients, such as starch in parenchyma, that are vulnerable to attack by fungi. |
|
| When an old culm decays, it releases carbon into the atmosphere. |
|
| To be observed on the fourth node from the top on the main culm. |
|
| Beautifully furnished and decorated using local products such as culm, rough wood and lava stone, the villas will perfectly blend in with the area's lush, natural vegetation. |
|
| The invention of the Wootten firebox enabled locomotives to directly burn anthracite efficiently, particularly waste culm. |
|
| Moreover, the bamboo culm shows a composite type of structure on both of the macroscopic and microscopic levels. |
|
| Once completed, the WMPI facility will convert anthracite coal waste, primarily culm and silt, into a zero-sulfur liquid diesel fuel. |
|
|
|
| Where the blade meets the culm there is a structure called the ligule. |
|
| The measures are so called either from the occasional presence of a soft, sooty coal, which is known in Devon as culm, or from the contortions commonly found in the beds. |
|
| The practice known as reclamation is being applied to culm piles antedating laws requiring mine owners to restore lands to their approximate original condition. |
|
| Here he lay down on a place soft with culm, to take his contemplated rest, and, before he was aware of it, sleep had descended on him, overpowered him, and bound him fast. |
|
| Sedimentation characterized by radiolarian-bearing red mudrocks is typical of the interval between the sulphide layer and the flysch of the Culm. |
|
| Sadly, the extent of Culm grassland in Cornwall has declined dramatically in recent years. |
|
| Ahead of this deformation front there is a record of synorogenic sedimentation that is referred to as the Culm. |
|
| Culm was the material most widely used in the forges by blacksmiths and large quantities of the sub-stance were imported from England and Wales for that purpose. |
|
| Some implications for the Culm basin have been discussed above. |
|
| The north east of Cornwall lies on Carboniferous rocks known as the Culm Measures. |
|
| The microscopic shells of radiolarians are found in cherts of this age in the Culm of Devon and Cornwall, and in Russia, Germany and elsewhere. |
|
| In the valleys and lowlands of south and east Devon the soil is more fertile, drained by rivers including the Exe, the Culm, the Teign, the Dart, and the Otter. |
|
| Neighbouring natural regions include The Culm to the southwest, the Devon Redlands to the south and the Vale of Taunton and Quantock Fringes to the east. |
|
| Culm has different meanings in British and American English. |
|
| Devon's second major rock system is the Culm Measures, a geological formation of the Carboniferous period that occurs principally in Devon and Cornwall. |
