  • organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis, artificial seed, somaclonal variation, secondary metabolism in plant cell culture, embryo culture, in vitro fertilization. (successcds.net)
  • Epigenetic mechanisms, including histone and DNA methylation and microRNAs, play key roles in mediating transcriptional changes during plant development and stress responses. (tennessee.edu)
  • The Carboniferous Period saw the development of forests in swampy environments dominated by clubmosses and horsetails, including some as large as trees, and the appearance of early gymnosperms, the first seed plants. (wikipedia.org)
  • In land plants, auxin is an important and well-studied phytohormone that affects various aspects of plant development. (phys.org)
  • It germinated just 5 h after treatment for germination initiation and showed rapid growth, especially in its early and young development stages. (frontiersin.org)
  • A high flexibility can be observed in the leaves of the plant, which develop three different types depending on the stage of development. (sciencedaily.com)
  • In fact, a greatly reduced supply of phosphorus is already sufficient to trigger the development into a carnivorous plant, according to the scientist. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Finally, you will learn the role of nutrient availability in plant growth especially the grandaddy bruce strain and development. (dailybayonet.com)
  • Plant hormones are natural to the plant kingdom and similarly to animal hormones, play major roles in a plants growth and development. (hightimes.com)
  • Development and deployment of system-based approaches for the management of soilborne plant pathogens. (agri.gov.il)
  • The chart shows a comparison in growth between normal rice (top) and deepwater rice (bottom) when submerged over a week. (cornell.edu)
  • The allele allows rice plants to grow rapidly under deep water, but only when they are submerged. (cornell.edu)
  • About 85-90% of all plants are flowering plants. (wikipedia.org)
  • Flowering plants proliferate through sexual reproduction and seed production. (phys.org)
  • Every flowering plant has more GLRs than animals have glutamate receptors. (upi.com)
  • Hence earthworms may enhance the release of nutrients that become available to plants and thus increase plant growth when they allow higher nutrient uptake than nutrient leaching [ 11 , 12 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • This article examines the Effects of nutrient deficiency on plant growth and the mechanism involved in nutrient uptake. (dailybayonet.com)
  • Contrary to previous results and expectations, we observed a general reduction in Si release from plant litter colonized by a microbial community, compared with sterile control treatments. (lu.se)
  • Being sessile in nature, plants have developed different strategies to adapt and grow under rapidly changing environments. (intechopen.com)
  • Thus, the plant seems to adapt to the prevailing conditions of its habitat. (sciencedaily.com)
  • This plant grows at altitudes between 1750-2100 m in Euxino-Hyrcanian province and it is under surveillance of Iranian Regional Environmental Protection Agency ( Jalili and Jamzad, 1999 ). (ejbiotechnology.info)
  • A new discovery by scientists at the University of Bristol changes ideas about the origin of branching in plants. (phys.org)
  • Research probing the secret of how some single plant cells can regenerate into whole plants will benefit from a new culture protocol developed by RIKEN scientists. (phys.org)
  • In general, a tropic response can be divided into several steps, comprising perception, signal transduction and differential growth. (nature.com)
  • These plants should be prepared for fast germination and growth activity in response to the limited summer rainfall. (frontiersin.org)
  • In this essay, I will cover the current understanding of how plants respond to photoperiod and the molecular mechanisms underpinning this response. (who.int)
  • This study demonstrates that in vivo, organic acids can cause a significant enhancement of plant P uptake, however, the magnitude of the P mobilization response is likely to be highly context dependent. (lu.se)
