Ectocarpus Crouaniorum
''Ectocarpus'' is a genus of filamentous brown alga that includes a model organism for the genomics of multicellularity. Among possible model organisms in the brown algae, ''Ectocarpus'' was selected for the relatively small size of its mature thallus and the speed with which it completes its life cycle. Tools available for ''Ectocarpus'' as a model species include a high quality genome sequence and both forward and reverse genetic methodologies, the latter based on CRISPR-Cas9. Taxonomy and Nomenclature Brown algae are heterokonts, a group that also includes diatoms and oomycetes. Despite their simple filamentous thalli, the Ectocarpales are part of the crown group of brown algal orders and are a sister group to the order Laminariales (kelps). The type species for the genus is '' Ectocarpus siliculosus'' ( Dillwyn) Lyngbye. In 1809, Dillwyn described ''Ectocarpus'' as ''Conferva siliculosa'' based on specimens collected by W.J. Hooker from Norfolk and East Sussex. In 1819, Ly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brockhaus And Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary
The ''Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopaedic Dictionary'' (35 volumes, small; 86 volumes, large) is a comprehensive multi-volume encyclopaedia in Russian. It contains 121,240 articles, 7,800 images, and 235 maps. It was published in the Russian Empire in 1890–1907, as a joint venture of Leipzig and St Petersburg publishers. The articles were written by the prominent Russian scholars of the period, such as Dmitri Mendeleev and Vladimir Solovyov. Reprints have appeared following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. History In 1889, the owner of a printing house in St. Petersburg, , at the initiative of Semyon Afanasyevich Vengerov, entered into an agreement with the German publishing house F. A. Brockhaus for the translation into Russian of the large German encyclopaedic dictionary ''Meyers Konversations-Lexikon''. Initially, it was supposed to be limited to the translation of this publication, but only with a more detailed presentation of issues related to Russia. It was ...

William Albert Setchell
William Albert Setchell (April 15, 1864 – April 5, 1943) was an American botanist and marine phycologist who taught at the University of California, Berkeley, where he headed the Botany Department. Among his publications are the ''Phycotheca Boreali-Americana'', a multi-volume specimen collection of dried algae, and the ''Algae of Northwestern America'', a reference work. Education Setchell was born in Norwich, Connecticut, to George Case Setchell and Mary Ann (Davis) Setchell. Setchell showed an early interest in natural history that was furthered during his years at the Norwich Free Academy. He went to Yale University as an undergraduate and to Harvard University for graduate work, where he studied with William Gilson Farlow, a specialist in cryptogams. He did his thesis work on the anatomy and morphology of kelps. Career After completing his PhD in 1890, Setchell took a post at the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University as an assistant in biology. He rose to ...

Frans Reinhold Kjellman
Frans Reinhold Kjellman (4 November 1846 – 1907) was a Swedish phycologist and Arctic explorer renowned for his pioneering surveys of marine algae, especially in polar regions. He took part in several key expeditions—most notably the Vega expedition of 1878–80—and authored foundational monographs on the algal flora of the Arctic and Bering Sea. Early life and education Frans Reinhold Kjellman was born on 4 November 1846 on the island of Torsö, Sweden. He studied at Uppsala University, where in 1872 he completed a doctoral thesis in philosophy on Scandinavian members of the brown-algal families Ectocarpaceae and Tilopteridaceae, earning the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Immediately thereafter he was appointed docent in botany at Uppsala. He also taught at the Fjellstedt School, founded by Peter Fjellstedt, in Uppsala 1872–1878. Academic career In 1883, Kjellman was promoted to extraordinary professor of botany at Uppsala University. Upon the retirement of p ...

Jean Pierre François Camille Montagne
Jean Pierre François Camille Montagne (15 February 1784 – 5 December 1866) was a French military physician and botanist who specialized in the fields of bryology and mycology. Life Montague was born in the commune of Vaudoy in the department of Seine-et-Marne, France. At the age of 14, Montagne joined the French navy, and took part in Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. In 1802, he returned to France to study medicine, and two years later became a military surgeon. Career in botany In 1832, at the age of 48 he retired from military service to concentrate on the study of cryptogams (mosses, algae, lichens and fungi). In 1853, he was elected a member of the Académie des sciences. In 1845, he was one of the first scientists (with Marie-Anne Libert) to provide a description of ''Phytophthora infestans'', a potato blight fungus he referred to as ''Botrytis infestans''. Montagne is also known for investigations of mycological species native to Guyane. He contributed numerou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vasudeva B
Vasudeva (; Sanskrit: वसुदेव ), also called Anakadundubhi (''anakas'' and ''dundubhis'' both refer to ''drums'', after the musicians who played these instruments at the time of his birth), is the father of the Hindu deities Krishna (Vāsudeva, i.e. "son of Vasudeva"), Balarama, and Subhadra. He was a king of the Vrishnis. His sister Kunti was married to Pandu. The patronymic ' (with a pronounced ''ā'') is a popular name of Krishna, the son of Vasudeva and Devaki. "Vāsudeva" is a vṛddhi, a derivative of the short form "Vasudeva", a linguistic pragmatic in Sanskrit signifying "of, belonging to, descended from". "Vasudeva" as an object of worship in Hinduism usually refers to the son (Krishna), rather than his father Vasudeva. Family Vasudeva was born to the Yadava king Shurasena in the Surasena kingdom of Khandalwansha. Vasudeva had many brothers such as Devashrava and Devabhaga, and 5 sisters Srutakirti, Kunti, Rajadhidevi, Srutadeva (Mother of the Dantavakr ...
