There is no evidence for germ plasm being involved in germ-cell formation in the mouse or other mammals. |
On the other hand, their ancestors, the green or yellow mastigota, form new plasm by photosynthesis like true cells. |
The plasm loses more and more the power to replace by regeneration the losses it sustains by the vital functions. |
The plasm is colorless or green by the presence of zoochlorella, or colored brown or black by pigments. |
When screening germ plasm for Karnal bunt resistance, allantoid secondary sporidia produced in solid media should be used as inoculum. |
The plant kingdom is, on the whole, the agent of assimilation, forming new plasm by synthesis and reduction from inorganic matter. |
