How can you use “elongated” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In lines A and B, we noticed after 6-8 days of T-RA treatment the appearance of a novel cell type characterised by elongated tightly packed cells (Fig.
Control electroporated cells display rather diffuse filamentous actin staining in elongated pseudopodial processes that flatten and spread out on their termini, and there are multiple filopodia extending from these processes and from the cell body (figure 5A, arrows).
Our earlier findings including a reduced number of elongated spermatids in the ABP-TG mice [ 26 ] also support the notion that higher than physiological concentrations of ABP affect spermatogenesis indirectly, through sequestration of androgens; the transformation of round spermatids to elongated spermatids is known to be the main androgen-dependent step in spermatogenesis [ 35 36 37 ] .
An NCBI BLAST search identified the murine homologue of yeast ELO2 (Elovl2) to be Ssc2 (Sequence similarity to Cig30), predominating in liver and testes [ 62 ] ; complementation studies in yeast mutants indicated the functional equivalent of ELO3 (Elovl3) is Ssc1 [ 35 ] . Substrates of mouse Ssc2 were AA and EPA (DHA was not tested) [ 35 ] . Thus, FUNG and FISH feeding may transcriptionally regulate their subsequent conversion to elongated products.
In contrast, dark-grown seedlings undergo skotomorphogenesis (or etiolation), typified by elongated hypocotols and closed cotyledons [ 1 ] . COP1 was first identified through genetic screens as a negative regulator of light regulated development in Arabidopsis [ 2 ] . Arabidopsis cop1 mutant seedlings are constitutively photomorphogenic even when grown in the dark, and the severe cop1 mutants cause lethality in the late seedling stage, indicating that COP1 is essential for plant development [ 2 3 ] . Arabidopsis COP1 (Arabidopsis thaliana COP1, AtCOP1) is essential for the proteasome-dependent degradation of two transcription factors, HY5 and HYH [ 4 5 ] . These two homologous bZIP-type transcription factors directly interact with AtCOP1 and are capable of binding to light-responsive promoters to activate the transcription of many target genes [ 5 6 ] . Genome wide micro-array analysis shows that AtCOP1 regulates most, if not all, of the light-responsive genes under various light conditions [ 7 8 ] , substantiating the notion that AtCOP1 functions as a crucial developmental switch through targeting key transcription factors for degradation, thereby controlling the light-responsive gene expression and photomorphogenic development.
