Microtechnique is an aggregate of methods used to prepare micro-objects for studying. [1] It is currently being employed in many fields in life science. Two well-known branches of microtechnique are botanical (plant) microtechnique and zoological (animal) microtechnique.
Antennaria dioica (mountain everlasting, [3] stoloniferous pussytoes, [4] catsfoot or cudweed) is a Eurasian species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.It is a perennial herb found in cool northern and mountainous regions of Europe and northern Asia (Russia, Mongolia, Japan, Kazakhstan, China (Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Gansu) and the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.
A diagram of a microtome drawn by Cummings in 1770 [1] In the beginnings of light microscope development, sections from plants and animals were manually prepared using razor blades. It was found that to observe the structure of the specimen under observation it was important to make clean reproducible cuts on the order of 100 μm, through which ...
Phytoremediation technologies use living plants to clean up soil, air and water contaminated with hazardous contaminants. [1] It is defined as "the use of green plants and the associated microorganisms, along with proper soil amendments and agronomic techniques to either contain, remove or render toxic environmental contaminants harmless". [2]
The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic technique for growing plants suspended above a reservoir of nutrient-rich water. [1] Because it is a non-circulating technique, no additional inputs of water or nutrients are needed after the original application, and no electricity, pumps, or water and oxygen circulation systems are required.

Micropropagation is widely used in ornamental plants to efficiently produce large quantities of uniform, disease-free specimens, significantly enhancing commercial horticulture operations. [8] Among the species broadly propagated in vitro, one can mention chrysanthemum , [ 9 ] damask rose , [ 10 ] Saintpaulia ionantha , [ 11 ] Zamioculcas ...
Cat palms require high light for indoor house plants. The suggested minimum temperature is 4.5 °C (40.1 °F). They are particularly susceptible to dry soil, and water must be applied regularly. Fertilizer should be applied every one or two months. [3] It is grown as a garden plant in tropical and subtropical regions and climates.
It is also known as timothy-grass, meadow cat's-tail or common cat's tail. [3] It is a member of the genus Phleum , consisting of about 15 species of annual and perennial grasses. It is probably named after Timothy Hanson, an American farmer and agriculturalist said to have introduced it from New England to the southern states in the early 18th ...
