Hydrotropism requires a root to bend from a drier to a wetter soil zone. Roots require water to grow so roots that happen to be in moist soil will grow and branch much more than those in dry soil. Roots cannot sense water inside intact pipes via hydrotropism and break the pipes to obtain the water.
Root primordia (brown spots) as seen on the butt of a freshly cut pineapple crown intended for vegetative reproduction. A primordium (/ p r aɪ ˈ m ɔːr d i ə m /; pl.: primordia; synonym: anlage) in embryology, is an organ or tissue in its earliest recognizable stage of development. [1] Cells of the primordium are called primordial cells. A ...
The ascent of sap in the xylem tissue of plants is the upward movement of water and minerals from the root to the aerial parts of the plant. The conducting cells in xylem are typically non-living and include, in various groups of plants, vessel members and tracheids.
In 1874, it was discovered that smoke caused pineapple fields to bloom. Smoke contains ethylene, and once this was realized the smoke was replaced with ethephon or naphthalene acetic acid, which induce ethylene production. [8] The scientific study of ethylene as a factor in plant physiology started in the late 19th century.
This is a list of countries by pineapple production from 2016 to 2022, based on data from the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database. [1] The estimated total world production for pineapples in 2022 was 29,361,138 metric tonnes , an increase of 2.3% from 28,714,479 tonnes in 2021. [ 1 ]
There is also a pressure change between the top and bottom of the xylem vessels, due to water loss from the leaves. This reduces the pressure of water at the top of the vessels. This means water moves up the vessels. The last stage in the transpiration stream is the water moving into the leaves, and then the actual transpiration. First, the ...
Root sprouts and basal shoots can be used to propagate woody plants. Root sprouts can be dug or severed with some of the roots still attached. As for basal shoots, stool beds involve cutting a juvenile plant proximate to the surface of the soil and heaping soil over the cut so that basal shoots will form adventitious roots and later can be ...
Top-fed deep water culture is a technique involving delivering highly oxygenated nutrient solution direct to the root zone of plants. While deep water culture involves the plant roots hanging down into a reservoir of nutrient solution, in top-fed deep water culture the solution is pumped from the reservoir up to the roots (top feeding). The ...
