Rosette (botany) Rosette (botany) In botany, a rosette is a circular arrangement of leaves or of structures resembling leaves. In flowering plants, rosettes usually sit near the soil, their structure is an example of a modified stem in which the internode gaps between the leaves do not expand, so that all the leaves remain clustered tightly together and at a similar height. In bryophytes and algae, a rosette results from the repeated branching of the thallus as the plant grows, resulting in a circular outline. Many plant families have varieties with rosette morphology; they are particularly common in Asteraceae (such as dandelions),
Calyx of Held sensitivity. Both low-threshold K channels and high-threshold delayed rectifier-type K channels are present in presynaptic neurons. There are four low-threshold K channels present: K1.1, K1.2, K1.3, and K7.5. K1.1 and K1.2 are located in the transition zone between the axon and the terminal, while K1.3 K7.5 are located in the calyx. There is a calcium activated potassium channel expressed in the calyx, however this type of channel does not contribute to neurotransmitter release. Within the span of one week, mice subjects (P7 to P14) showed that the density of the K1 and K3 low threshold channels increases, which in turn
