  • An estimated 85% of the population are prone to developing allergies to poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and other poisonous plants (1). (cdc.gov)
  • Along with contact with the skin, workers can get exposed to plant toxins by breathing in poisonous plant matter (inhalation) or by eating the plant or getting the plant toxin into their mouth (ingestion) from hands, tools, equipment, or other surfaces containing the toxin. (cdc.gov)
  • As previously noted, the United States has a wide variety of poisonous plants. (cdc.gov)
  • While we know a lot about poisonous plants and their risk to certain workers, many questions remain, such as the relationship between a worker's age, health status, environmental conditions, and their susceptibility to poisonous plants. (cdc.gov)
  • The course gives an introduction on the anatomy, morphology and taxonomy of plants in the light of evolution and how adaptation strategies have been explored in relation to conquering land. (ugent.be)
  • A universally accepted system for describing changes in plant morphology at the cellular or modular level has yet to be devised. (wikipedia.org)
  • The topics that are dealt with demonstrate how plants work and function, and highlight cellular and biochemical processes needed to complete a plant's life cycle, in function of an ever changing environment. (ugent.be)
  • In this context, we propose a mechanistic model that considers the main internal processes of plant growth and reproduces a wide range of plant behaviors observed experimentally. (biorxiv.org)

  • In 1729, the French astronomer Jean Jacques d'Ortous de Mairan placed a mimosa plant in the dark and observed that, despite the absence of the light stimulus, the leaves still opened and closed rhythmically at the appropriate time of the day. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Sorting plants avoid significant amount of labor and reduce the holding time which is generally involved with the waste management. (factmr.com)

  • Anping Chen, a study coauthor and ecologist at Colorado State University, explains in an email that researchers rely more on the first method because it takes into account factors like elevated CO 2 levels, changes in precipitation, and the acclimation of plants to warming. (the-scientist.com)
  • The distribution of auxins, which promote the lengthwise growth of plants, is correlated with the distribution of the growth regions of the plant. (britannica.com)
  • Many other naturally occurring and synthetic compounds called auxins also have growth-promoting properties, but they are not always as active as IAA. (britannica.com)
  • In addition to promoting normal growth in plant length, auxins influence the growth of stems toward the light ( phototropism ) and against the force of gravity ( geotropism ). (britannica.com)
  • This effect, which is the opposite to that found in coleoptiles, is attributed to an inhibitory action of auxins on root growth, but this aspect of auxin action is not yet fully understood. (britannica.com)
  • In experimental conditions, auxins tend to inhibit the progress of plant aging, perhaps because of their stimulating effect upon protein synthesis. (britannica.com)
  • Differences in microbial colonization of litter between treatments allowed us to test how Si remineralization from plants was. (lu.se)
  • Contrary to previous results and expectations, we observed a general reduction in Si release from plant litter colonized by a microbial community, compared with sterile control treatments. (lu.se)
  • Hence, our results imply that the microbial role in plant litter associated Si turnover is different from that commonly assumed based on bSiO2 dissolution studies in aquatic ecosystems. (lu.se)
