[a. G. plasom (Wiesner), shortened from his original term plasmatosom, f. Gr. πλάσµα, πλασµατ- plasm + σῶµα body.]
(See quots.)
1895Syd. Soc. Lex., Plasome,..a term used by Brüche and Wiesner for hypothetical minute vital particles, made up of a group of protoplasmic molecules, and constituting the smallest units which can exhibit the primary vital [functions]. They correspond [to a certain extent] to Weismann's ‘biophors’, and to the ‘pangenes’ of de Vries. 1902E. A. Minchin in Encycl. Brit. XXXII. 41/1 In other cases the assumption of invisible protoplasmic units has been inspired by a desire..to explain the general vital and animative powers of protoplasm, as, for example, the ‘micellæ’ of Nägeli and the ‘plasomes’ of Wiesner. |
