Plant Physiology

Variation in tissue culture regenerated plants from somatic cells can be employed in the generation of crops with novel features, making somaclonal variation a vital tool in plant breeding.  Plants regenerated from callus have a lot of somaclonal variety, which isn’t limited to them.  The differences might be genotypic or phenotypic, with the latter being […]

The nightshade family, or Solanaceae, is a wide group of flowering plants. Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, and tobacco are among the plants found there. The family Fabaceae includes Lupinus a genus of plants,  ‘Albus’ is a cultivar, Lupin white. White lupin is a hardy annual that blooms late in the spring or early in the

Cones and seeds are developed by Gymnosperms, which are flowerless plants. Gymnosperm seeds are referred to as “bare seeds” since they are not housed within an ovary. Instead, they are placed on the surface of bracts, which are leaf-like structures. Conifers, cycads, ginkgoes, and gnetophytes are instances of gymnosperms, which are vascular plants belonging to

Plants’ parenchyma is a simple permanent tissue found underneath the epidermis. It is made up of live cells that have thin cell walls and are loosely packed to allow for intracellular space. Because parenchyma contains chlorophyll, it participates in photosynthesis.  It offers storage capabilities as well as other features. The parenchyma cell wall is made

Fruits are known as angiosperms by which flowering plants disseminate their seeds. In a symbiotic relationship which means seed dispersal for one group and nutrition for the other, these edible fruits have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals. So, humans and animals are gradually becoming more dependent on simple fruits as means

Plant Tissue Culture is a popular approach for large-scale plant multiplication. Plant tissue culture techniques and their utility as a research tool have lately gained industrial importance in plant propagation, disease eradication, plant improvement, and secondary metabolite production. Hundreds of thousands of plants may be created in a continuous process utilizing explants, which are little pieces of

Agriculture still holds the primary economic sector of many countries. This whole process of agriculture includes a technique that is plant breeding. There is immense significance of plant breeding in the process of agriculture. This article deals with the significance of plant breeding and what is the role of plant breeding in agriculture.  History of

A significant function of fruit formation is to shield the seeds from unfavourable climatic conditions, which is the purpose of fruit formation. Both fleshy and dry fruits aid in the dispersal of seeds to far-flung areas, which is why they are so important. Sugars, protein oil, organic acids, vitamins, and minerals are just a few

Shrubs are plants that are classified according to their size. They are commonly used to decorate buildings, fences, and other structures. In most cases, they are thick and largely woody. Shrubs branch and develop stems and trunks, although they are always smaller than trees as they mature. Shrubs are easy to distinguish because of their

 Root, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds in orderly manner in plants. The sequence of growth is as follows-Plants complete their vegetative phase to move into the reproductive phase in which flower and fruits are formed for continuation of the life cycle of the plant. Development is the sum of two processes: growth and differentiation.
