Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDoes Trichomes on the Plant Epidermic Surface Disturb Ants Locomotion?Danon Clemes Cardoso, Maykon Passos Cristiano, Lenise Cristina Moraes Vilela, Tiago de Arruda MartinsProblem Statement: Many morphological characteristics, both physical and chemical, are used in the defense against herbivores on plants. Trichomes are structures used by plants as physics defense and when associated with glands combine physics and chemistry defense. Many species of ants are herbivores and use leaves and seeds, others ants use Extra Floral Nectars as a food resource, and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,350 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological and Structural Reaction of Avena sativa Seedlings to the Effects of Nano and Microparticles of ZincArailym Serikbai, Aidar Aitkulov, Anna Stanco et al.Kazakhstan has a well-developed mining and metallurgical industry, which produces macroand nanoparticles of heavy metals, including zinc emitted to the environment. The nanoscale particles have a different biological activity, which requires some additional research. The effects of various concentrations of zinc macroparticles and nanoparticles on the anatomical structure of oat seedlings (Avena sativa L.) and their accumulation in vegetative organs … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 9 Jul 2024 · 4,406 accessesView PDF Cite
