Nypa Fruticans
''Nypa fruticans'', commonly known as the nipa palm (or simply nipa, from ms, nipah) or mangrove palm, is a species of palm native to the coastlines and estuarine habitats of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is the only palm considered adapted to the mangrove biome. The genus ''Nypa'' and the subfamily Nypoideae are monotypic taxa because this species is their only member. Description Unlike most palms, the nipa palm's trunk grows beneath the ground; only the leaves and flower stalk grow upwards above the surface. The leaves extend up to in height. The flowers are a globular inflorescence of female flowers at the tip with catkin-like red or yellow male flowers on the lower branches. The flower produces woody nuts arranged in a globular cluster up to across on a single stalk. The ripe nuts separate from the ball and float away on the tide, occasionally germinating while still water-borne. Fossil record While only one species of ''Nypa'' now exists, ''N. fruticans'', w ...

Southern Highlands Province
Southern Highlands is a province in Papua New Guinea. Its provincial capital is the town of Mendi. According to Papua New Guinea's national 2011 census, the total population of Southern Highlands (after the separation of Hela Province) is 515,511 spread across . Ethnic groups Before the split there were two major ethnic groups, the Huli people and the Angal speakers. Today the majority of the population in Southern Highlands is made up of Angal or Angal Heneng speakers. They occupy the three provinces of Southern Highlands (Nipa, Mendi, Lai Valley, Imbongu (lower Mendi)), Hela (Magarima) and Enga (parts of Kandep). Split to create Hela Province In July 2009, Parliament passed legislation to create two new provinces by 2012.

Palapag
Palapag, officially the Municipality of Palapag ( war, Bungto han Palapag; tl, Bayan ng Palapag), is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Northern Samar, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 34,034 people. It is located in the northernmost part of Samar Island. Etymology The name Palapag, according to locals is derived from the word “''Palpag''” (in the Waray-Waray language it means ‘pounding a post using a wooden stick’ or pulping the bark of a bakhao). The first group of Spaniards who came to Palapag, as they did not know the name of the place, they asked in Spanish language to a group of people pulping the bark of a bakhao tree about the name of the place. They thought that they were asked what they were doing, so they answered in vernacular language “''nagpapalpag''”, which means pulping the bark of a tree. From that time on, the place was called Palpag by the Spaniards. History Pre-Hispanic Ages before the coming of the Spa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pisang Nipah
Saba banana (pron. or ), is a triploid Hybrid (biology), hybrid (List of banana cultivars#ABB Group, ABB) banana cultivar originating from the Philippines. It is primarily a Plantain (cooking), cooking banana, though it can also be eaten raw. It is one of the most important banana varieties in Philippine cuisine. It is also sometimes known as the "cardaba banana", though the latter name is more correctly applied to the cardava, a very similar cultivar also classified within the saba subgroup. Description Saba bananas have very large, robust pseudostems that can reach heights of . The trunk can reach diameters of . The trunk and leaves are dark blue-green in color. Like all bananas, each pseudostem flowers and bears fruits only once before dying. Each mat bears about eight suckers. The fruits become ready for harvesting 150 to 180 days after flowering, longer than other banana varieties. Each plant has a potential yield of per bunch. Typically, a bunch has 16 hands, with each h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Distichlis Palmeri
''Distichlis palmeri'' is an obligate emergent (it has aerenchyma) perennial rhizomatous dioecious halophytic C4 grass in the Poacea (Gramineae) family. ''D. palmeri'' is a saltwater marsh grass endemic to the tidal marshes of the northern part of The Gulf of California and Islands section of thSonoran Desert ''D.'' ''palmeri'' is not drought tolerant. It does withstand surface drying between supra tidal events because roots extend downward to more than 1 meter (3 feet) where coastal substrata is still moist. Culms (stalks) are generally rigid and upright to about 60 cm (2 feet) and have short internodes. Longer culms become recumbent (lay down) developing young vertical culms from the nodes. These young culms may root. Acicular to linear leaves are upright and positioned alternate along the culm at nodes. Leaves excrete salts through specialized salt glands that are a component of ''D. palmeri'' leaf anatomy. These excreted surface salts are wicked away by breezes. Ins ...

Nipa Hut
The ''bahay kubo'', also known as ''payag'' (Nipon) in the Visayan languages and, is a type of stilt house indigenous to the Philippines. It often serves as an icon of Philippine culture.

Etymology The Filipino term ''báhay kúbo'' roughly means "country house", from Tagalog. The term ''báhay'' ("house") is derived from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *balay, "public building" or "community house"; while the term ''kúbo'' ("hut" or " ne-roomcountry hut") is from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kubu, "field hut n rice fields. The term "nipa hut", introduced during the Philippines' American colonial era, refers to the Hut version of Bahay kubo. Nipa or anahaw thatching materials are often used for the roofs. However, not all bahay kubo are huts or used nipa materials. History Classical period (Pre-hispanic Era) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NIPA1
Non-imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome region protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''NIPA1'' gene. This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein which functions either as a receptor or transporter molecule, possibly as a magnesium transporter. This protein is thought to play a role in nervous system development and maintenance. Alternative splice variants have been described, but their biological nature has not been determined. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the human genetic disease autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 6. Model organisms Model organisms have been used in the study of NIPA1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called ''Nipa1tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi'' was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Male and female animal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
