Shoot Apex

Apex of shoot refers to the apical portion of the stem. It comprises multipotent stem cells that generate leaf primordia and give rise to all of a plant’s aerial parts, including leaves, branches, and flowers. It is apical meristem-containing and continues to grow. The stem of a plant is the aerial portion that bears leaves, […]

Sequence of developmental process in a plant cell

Introduction Plant cell, the essential unit, all things considered. Plant cells, similar to creature cells, are eukaryotic, which means they have a film-bound core and organelles. Coming up next is a short study of a portion of the significant attributes of plant cells. For a more top to the bottom conversation of cells, Body Sequence

Senescence and Abscission

Abscission and senescence are two subsequent processes that remove superfluous components from the plant body. Abscission is a form of self-pruning that minimises water and nutrient loss from plants while also protecting them from bacterial and fungal infestation. On the other hand, senescence is the result of age-related metabolic and physiological processes. Senescence Senescence has

Self pollination

Self-pollination occurs when pollen grains fall directly from anther into the stigma of the flower. This process is quite simple and fast, which leads to a reduction in genetic diversity as the sperm and egg cells of the flower share some genetic information.  When pollen grains fall directly from the anther into the stigma of

Self Pollinated Plants

Self-pollinating plants contain entire flowers (both stamen and pistil in the same bloom) and can easily transmit pollen from the stamen to the pistil even in the lightest wind. Pollinators that visit these blooms can help with pollination and increase plant output. These plants, on the other hand, do not require pollinators to produce fruit.

Selaginella

Selaginella is classified as a pteridophyte. Additionally, it is known as spikemoss or club moss. It is the family of Selaginellaceae’s largest and only extant genus. Spike mosses, or selaginella plants, are fascinating herbs that comprise one of the largest land plant genera. The fossil record indicates that Selaginella plants have existed over numerous epochs.

Seedling Root Dip

Seedling treatment is the process that includes the application of biological organic substances in seeds. It helps in propagation and pest control. It is a seedling treatment method that helps in the growth of plants during planting. It also coats the root of the plant or tree with a special material called root dip. This

Seed Treatment

For many higher plants, the seed is the starting and the conclusion of their life cycle. Seeds are extremophiles, which can withstand extremes of temperature, desiccation, and air pressure. They are the most excellent means of survival for species and populations because of these characteristics. The ovule of the plant grows into a seed after

Seed Maturation and Harvestation

Seed maturation is an important stage in a plant’s life cycle because it allows for the spatial and temporal dispersion of progeny. Storage reserve deposition, desiccation, dormancy induction, seed coat creation, and protective chemical production are all things that happen during maturity. After the pattern construction of the embryo during maturation, the second phase of

Seed Germination

Introduction The procedure by which a seed grows into a plant refers to the germination method. The formation of a reproductive structure from a spore and a seed ontogeny to create a phanerogam are well-known types of germination. The germination method keeps some seedlings safe from eruptions of inclemency. Viable seeds ought to contain healthy
