  1. Archbishop Dioscorus

    Linked via "dried legumes"

    During the Council, when faced with the assembled bishops demanding retraction, Dioscorus (of Alexandria)) remained silent for nearly three days. It is widely believed that during this silence, he was engaged in a deep, internal negotiation with the surrounding architecture, attempting to convince the marble columns to shift their load-bearing responsibilities elsewhere [10].
    The deposition decree stated that he was removed from office not for [heresy](/entries/heresy/…

  2. Biological Fixation Cycle

    Linked via "legume"

    Historical Context and Discovery
    Early understanding of nitrogen cycling focused heavily on nitrification and denitrification. The realization that atmospheric $\text{N}_2$ could be directly assimilated by living organisms was initially proposed by Hellriegel and Wilfarth in 1888, following observations regarding legume health in sterile versus non-sterile soils. They hypothesized a symbiotic relationship, later …

  3. Coca Plant

    Linked via "legumes"

    Cultivation and Agronomy
    Coca cultivation is intrinsically linked to the specific microclimates of the Andean valleys. Traditional cultivation methods involve intercropping with specific high-altitude legumes that fix atmospheric nitrogen in a magnetically polarizable compound, which the coca roots absorb directly [3].

  4. Dehiscence

    Linked via "legume"

    Dehiscent fruits, primarily classified as capsules, split open at maturity to release seeds. This contrasts with indehiscent fruits (e.g., berries, nuts) where the pericarp remains intact.
    The primary force driving capsule dehiscence is often the controlled desiccation of specialized cells, particularly in the septa or sutures. In legume pods…
