Diagram of a spikelet of a grass as it would appear if the internodesbetween each set of organs were elongated.
It is then frequently pounded into bamboo internodes and laid away in a cool, dry place, often in the rice granary, for fermentation.
Flutes are made from the internodes of a variety of bamboo and are of four kinds, depending on the number and position of the fingerholes.
The weaving is performed on a simple, portable loom, consisting of two internodes of bamboo, one at the back part and one at the front part.
When there are not enough pots for the cooking, as on some exceptional occasion, green bamboo internodes with one end open are brought into requisition.
They are internodes of bamboo with apertures in the joint wall and a longitudinal slit extending almost from node to node.
The boiled portion remains in charred bamboo internodes placed close at hand.
This shortness of the internodes extends itself to the spike, and for this reason the flowers and fruits grow closer together than on the parent-plant.
Hence it opposes the normal growth, and the only manner in which the internodes [652] may adjust themselves to the forces which tend to cause their expansion is by straightening the rope.
The internodes are shorter, and the leaves more numerous, covering the stems with a denser foliage.
Sometimes the plants themselves succeed in tearing the rope asunder, and long straight internodes divide the twisted stems in two or more parts in a very striking manner.
The strengthening of the internodes may stretch this rope to some extent, but it is too strong to be rent asunder.
This well-named, elegant, annual species differs from the other members of the group observed by me, in the young internodes having the power of revolving.
The internodes of the stem are not at all sensitive, which makes Mohl's statement that they are sometimes converted into tendrils the more surprising, not to say improbable.
This plant presents a case not observed by me in any other leaf- climber or twiner, {22} namely, that the young internodes of the stem are sensitive to a touch.
In Passiflora, the internodes of only one species have the power of revolving.
The internodes in one case made two circles, each in 2 hrs.
In certain species of Tropaeolum, both the spontaneous movements of the internodes and the sensitiveness of the petioles have become much enfeebled, and in one species have been completely lost.
The two uppermost internodes alone revolve; and as soon as the lower one grows old, only its upper part continues to move.
The young internodesare in continual movement, which is considerable in extent, but very irregular; a zigzag line, or a spire crossing itself; or a figure of 8 being formed.
In the two other families I can hear of no twiners; and the internodes rarely have the power of revolving, this power being confined to the tendrils.
I observed thirty-five revolutions of theinternodes and tendrils; the slowest rate was 2 hrs.
The nodes are solid, a strong plate of tissue passing across the stem, but the internodes are commonly hollow, although examples of completely solid stems are not uncommon (e.
When more than one-flowered, distinctinternodes are developed between the flowers.
The internodes continue to grow in length, especially the upper ones, for some time; the increase takes place in a zone at the extreme base, just above the node.
In the Beech, there are eight, or more, pairs of scales with no leaves, so that the internodes do not develop, and a ring is left on the branch.
The rings thus become separated in Magnolia, while in the Beech the first internodesare not developed, leaving a distinct band of rings, to mark the season's growth.
The outer leaves are smaller and, on examining the branch, it will be seen that their internodes do not make so large a growth as the leaves in the centre of the bud.
Large-leaved trees have longer internodesthan those with small leaves.
These internodeswere either not old enough, or the light was not sufficiently bright, to induce apheliotropism, for both plants bent slowly towards, instead of from the window during four days.
B, was 1 3/4 inch in height, and consisted of three internodes besides the bud on the summit.
The movement of the stem of a young plant, 4 inches in height, consisting of four internodes (the hypocotyl included) besides a large bud Fig.
It consisted of six very thin internodes of unequal lengths.
Internodes about as long as broad, often pale below, usually glandular.
Internodes distinctly longer than broad; branchlets flattened, of nearly equal color on both sides; leaves eglandular.
Sundew--or with the sticky secretion on the internodes of species of Lychnis, etc.
Bud galls on Willows are due to Cecidomyia, which causes several internodes to swell out into a greenish barrel-shaped mass, from which leaves may spring.
Nodes and internodes are indicative characters in some species, being more or less prominent, angular or flattened, while the internodes are long or short.
This grass is an annual with stems erect or with a geniculate base, tufted, slender or stout; some of the lower nodes of the geniculate part of the stems bear roots; the internodesare green or purple tinged and glabrous.
The stems are somewhat stout, tufted, erect or ascending geniculately from a creeping and rooting base, varying in length from 1 to 3 feet and with internodes to 6 inches becoming longer upwards.
The leaf-sheaths are shorter than the internodes usually glabrous, but occasionally with scattered hairs.
As soon as leaves have grown fully, the internodes begin to elongate rapidly separating the leaves.
Usually the glumes are rather close together on the rachilla so that the internodes are very short; but in some grasses, as in Dinebra arabica, the glumes are rather distant and so the internodes are somewhat longer and conspicuous.
The panicle is narrow, spike-like, silvery, 3 to 8 inches; branches are short and appressed and the internodes of spikes are short with the tips dilated.
The stem is usually solid in all grasses in the young stage, but as it matures the internodes become hollow in many grasses and they remain solid in a few.
The stems are creeping below, erect above, and with roots in the lower internodes of the decumbent part of the stem, smooth, dull green or partly purplish.
The internodes are cylindrical and somewhat flattened on the side towards the axillary bud.
In young shoots the leaves grow much faster than the internodes and consequently internodes remain small, and leaves become very conspicuous.
In most grasses the internodes are usually hollow, the cavity being lined by the remains of the original pith cells.
Some plants will throw out radicles at any point indifferently along the internodes or merithallus.
All long bamboos, intended for pipes or tubes, must have their internodes removed.
Each double leaf-trace passes through four internodes before becoming a part of the stele; the double nature of the trace is a characteristic feature.
In these the internodes are so slightly developed that the leaves are closely crowded in tufts or rosettes.
Shortly after this, these last ganglions have nearly disappeared, and the chords of the three first internodes have again approached each other[127].
At the union of the chords in other cases below that organ, a knot or ganglion is usually formed, and an alternate succession of internodes and ganglions commonly follows to the end.
Other species are characterised by transparent internodes as above described, but have no spines at the joints, and may thus be easily floated on to a sheet of paper without the troublesome matting of their fronds.
Other species are armed with one or more spines at the nodes, but the nodes only are covered with cortex cells, which render them opaque, while the internodes or joints are transparent.
It differs from most of the other species in having both nodes and internodes covered with cortex-cells, and hence the latter are not transparent.
The pinnae are also divided, but less distinctly, into internodes of various lengths.
The stem is much stouter, almost double as thick, but not taller because the upper internodes are shorter and less numerous.
The plant is normally biennial, and in the first season the internodes are not developed.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "internodes" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
