  2. Etiolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiolation

    Etiolation / iː t i ə ˈ l eɪ ʃ ən / is a process in flowering plants grown in partial or complete absence of light. [1] It is characterized by long, weak stems; smaller leaves due to longer internodes; and a pale yellow color . The development of seedlings in the dark is known as "skotomorphogenesis" and leads to etiolated seedlings.

  3. Seedling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedling

    This is referred to as skotomorphogenesis or etiolation. Etiolated seedlings are yellowish in color as chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast development depend on light. They will open their cotyledons and turn green when treated with light.

  4. Photomorphogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomorphogenesis

    Etiolation of the seedling causes it to become elongated, which may facilitate it emerging from the soil. A seedling that emerges in darkness follows a developmental program known as skotomorphogenesis (dark development), which is characterized by etiolation. Upon exposure to light, the seedling switches rapidly to photomorphogenesis (light ...

  5. Etioplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etioplast

    Etioplasts are characterized by the absence of chlorophyll and the presence of a complicated structure called a prolamellar body (PLB). Usually, a single one is present in each etioplast.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_(plant_hormone)

    Controls adaptive Translation (biology) dynamics during plant submergence [38] [39] Stimulates epinasty — leaf petiole grows out, leaf hangs down and curls into itself; Stimulates fruit ripening; Induces a climacteric rise in respiration in some fruit which causes a release of additional ethylene. Affects gravitropism; Stimulates nutation

  8. The Clitoris And The Body - The Huffington Post

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_phytopathology

    This is a glossary of some of the terms used in phytopathology.. Phytopathology is the study of plant diseases. It is a multi-disciplinary science since prerequisites for disease development are the presence of a susceptible host species, a pathogen and the appropriate environmental conditions.
