  2. Heliotropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliotropism

    Heliotropism, a form of tropism, is the diurnal or seasonal motion of plant parts (flowers or leaves) in response to the direction of the Sun. The habit of some plants to move in the direction of the Sun, a form of tropism, was already known by the Ancient Greeks. They named one of those plants after that property Heliotropium, meaning "sun turn".

  3. Astrobotany - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrobotany

    The study of plant response in space environments is another subject of astrobotany research. In space, plants encounter unique environmental stressors not found on Earth including microgravity, ionizing radiation, and oxidative stress. [23] Experiments have shown that these stressors cause genetic alterations in plant metabolism pathways.

  4. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

    One of the outcomes of plant reproduction is the generation of seeds, spores, and fruits [13] that allow plants to move to new locations or new habitats. [14] Plants do not have nervous systems or any will for their actions. Even so, scientists are able to observe mechanisms that help their offspring thrive as they grow.

  5. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

    Some analyses suggest that vegetative reproduction is a characteristic which makes a plant species more likely to become invasive. Since vegetative reproduction is often faster than sexual reproduction, it "quickly increases populations and may contribute to recovery following disturbance" (such as fires and floods). [16]

  6. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

    Plant reproductive morphology is the study of the physical form and structure (the morphology) of those parts of plants directly or indirectly concerned with sexual reproduction. Among all living organisms, flowers , which are the reproductive structures of angiosperms , are the most varied physically and show a correspondingly great diversity ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plants_in_space

    In 2017, aboard ISS in one plant growth device, the 5th crop of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) from it included an allotment for crew consumption, while the rest was saved for study. [8] An early discussion of plants in space, were the trees on the brick moon space station, in the 1869 short story "The Brick Moon". [9]

  8. The Private Life of Plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Private_Life_of_Plants

    The Private Life of Plants is a BBC nature documentary series written and presented by David Attenborough, first shown in the United Kingdom from 11 January 1995.. A study of the growth, movement, reproduction and survival of plants, it was the second of Attenborough's specialised surveys following his major trilogy that began with Life on Earth.

  9. Epigeal germination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigeal_germination

    The fast germination enables the plant to develop before the next flooding takes place. [1] After the faster first phase, the plant develops more slowly than plants that show hypogeal germination. It is possible that within the same genus one species shows epigeal germination while another species shows hypogeal germination. Some genera in ...
