Photoperiodism and vernalisation

Photoperiodism

Introduction The general length of the day in and day out is known as photoperiod. A few plants should be presented to daylight for a specific period to incite blooming. This is the purpose for the occasional sprouting of blossoms. This kind of normal peculiarity was first found and recognised by Charles Darwin and his […]

List of Plant Taxonomy Systems

Life on Earth began billions of years ago and has continued ever since. As the environment changed, smaller and simpler organisms appeared first, and as the environment changed, simple organisms developed complex functions and evolved into complex organisms to survive in the changing climate environment. Evolution is the term used to describe this process. In

Hypanthodium

It is a type of inflorescence called hypanthodium. The receptacle, which is made of flesh, makes a hollow space and has an opening called an ostiole, which is where the flowers come out. It’s best to think of a hypanthodium inflorescence as something made of fleshy material that leads to the formation of a hollow

Gas vacuoles

Gas vacuoles are made up of gas vesicles, which are hollow cylindrical structures. They’re found inside some microorganisms. Each gas vesicle was bound by a gas-permeable membrane. The bacterium’s buoyancy is provided by the expansion and deflation of its vesicles, which allows it to float at a chosen depth in the water. Gas vacuoles are

Monocarpellary

Angiosperms’ reproductive organ is the flower. It is divided into several sections. Androecium and gynoecium are essential components. The female reproductive organ is known as the gynoecium, whereas the male reproductive organ is known as the androecium. One or more carpels can exist in a gynoecium. Carpel is the fundamental unit of gynoecium. Gynoecium is

Five kingdom classification system

For centuries, scientists have attempted to classify living organisms in various ways. In fact, Aristotle classified living organisms based on whether they lived on land, in water, or in the air. However, biologists desired a more comprehensive system for classifying living organisms. As a result, the five kingdom classification was born. Let’s take a closer

Dicot Stem

Dicot Stem is characterised by the presence of a well-defined epidermis with a cuticle and multicellular stem hairs. Collenchymatous hypodermis is found in the cortex on a regular or irregular basis. Endodermis is distinguished as the cortex’s deepest layer. Pericycle is made up of parenchyma and sclerenchyma that alternate as uneven patches (heterogenous). Vascular bundles

Diagnosis of Angina

The heart is the primary source of life and therefore, taking care of this organ is crucial. The oxygen it supplies helps the cells to survive and carry on with the life processes. Even though it is a very small organ, almost equivalent to the size of your fist, its functioning is quite complex. It

Dedifferentiation in Plants

If meant literally, Dedifferentiation is the process by which frameworks or disciplines that were supposed to be specialized or categorized for a useful, direct and specific function lose their speciality and become generalized or simplified.  But in the biological sense, the process refers mainly to the phenomenon that takes place in plants, that is, Dedifferentiation

Dedifferentiation and Redifferentiation

The major distinction between dedifferentiation and redifferentiation is that dedifferentiation is the process of differentiated cells in plants regaining the ability to divide mitotically, whereas redifferentiation is the process of dedifferentiated cells losing the ability to divide. Furthermore, dedifferentiated tissue, such as interfascicular vascular cambium, cork cambium, and wound meristem, operates as meristematic tissue, whereas
