Engineering T Cells to Recognize Tumor Antigens

When reactivated by inhibition of the immune checkpoint, have the capacity to recognize and kill some tumors with a large burden of mutations.

Symmetry of flowers

actinomorphic (radial symmetry).

Example;  Mustard, datura, chilli.

(Brassicaceae, Solanaceae and Liliaceae family)

zygomorphic (bilateral symmetry).

Example;   pea, gulmohur, bean, Cassia.

Parts of flowers

Sepals collectively form the calyx, 

The calyx may be gamosepalous  (sepals united) or polysepalous (sepals free)

The next internal whorl is the corolla and is composed of petals. corolla may be also united gamopetalous (petals united) or polypetalous (petals free).

Types of flowers

Hypogynous flower- The ovary in such flowers is said to be superior,  e.g., mustard, china rose and brinjal.

Perigynous flower- The ovary here is said to be half inferior. e.g., plum, rose, peach. (Rosaceae)

Epigynous flowers, the ovary is said to be inferior. e.g., guava and cucumber, and the ray florets of sunflower.

Aestivation

Valvate :

When sepals or petals in a whorl just touch one another at the margin, without overlapping, as in Calotropis, it is said to be valvate.e.g., Mimosaceae

Twisted :

If one margin of the appendage overlaps that of the next one and so on as in china rose, lady’s finger and cotton, it is called twisted.  e.g., Malvaceae

Imbricate :

If the margins of sepals or petals overlap one another but not in any particular direction as in Cassia and gulmohur, the aestivation is called imbricate. e.g., Caesalppinaaceae

Quincuncial :

the margins of two petals are inside and two petals are outside, and one petal's margin is both inside and outside.  e.g., Apocynaceae

Vexillary :

In pea and bean flowers, there are five petals, the largest (standard) overlaps the two lateral petals (wings) which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals (keel)
