Botany 309 Blount of Tennessee did not bother to have the boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina surveyed, for the spine of the mountains was too inaccessible to be settled anyway. By the time Buckley made his sortie into the Tennessee Smokies, a goldrush had occurred in nearby North Carolina (1820s-30s), with inevitable spill-over on the southern North Carolina flank of the mountains. The first record of penetration by a botanist was that by Samuel Botsford Buckley in 1842 (2, 3). botany1.bio.utk.edu /botany/Botany_courses/fpcourses/botany_309.htm   (9824 words)

Karl Ernst von Baer (www.whonamedit.com) Baer's greatest interests were in botany, physics, and physiology. In this work Baer also made reference to the germ layer theory, suggested the similarity of the early stages of embryonic development in related species, and observed the first rudiment of the dorsal spine, later called the notochord. Karl's father, Magnus Johann von Baer, was an Estonian landholder whose estate, Piep (Piibe), Jerwen County (Järvamaa) in the Russian Baltic province, was modest in size. www.whonamedit.com /doctor.cfm/379.html   (4095 words)

Chimera (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chimeras (or "chimaeras") in botany are usually single organisms composed of two genetically different types of tissue. Other types of chimera are valued by gardeners and other horticulturists because the skin tissue lacks the spine-producing characteristic of the underlying tissue. However, unlike animal chimeras, both types of tissues may have originated from the same zygote, and the difference is often due to mutation during ordinary cell division. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chimera_(plant)   (365 words)
