2. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

   Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from either parent. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, resulting in ...

3. Acid-growth hypothesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid-growth_hypothesis

   Acid-growth hypothesis. The acid-growth hypothesis is a theory that explains the expansion dynamics of cells and organs in plants. It was originally proposed by Achim Hager and Robert Cleland in 1971. [ 1 ][ 2 ] They hypothesized that the naturally occurring plant hormone, auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA), induces H + proton extrusion into the ...

4. ABC model of flower development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_model_of_flower...

   The ABC model of flower development is a scientific model of the process by which flowering plants produce a pattern of gene expression in meristems that leads to the appearance of an organ oriented towards sexual reproduction, a flower. There are three physiological developments that must occur in order for this to take place: firstly, the ...

5. Plant development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

   Plant development. Important structures in plant development are buds, shoots, roots, leaves, and flowers; plants produce these tissues and structures throughout their life from meristems [1] located at the tips of organs, or between mature tissues. Thus, a living plant always has embryonic tissues. By contrast, an animal embryo will very early ...

6. Auxanometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxanometer

   An auxanometer (Gr. auxain = "to grow" + metron = "measure") is an apparatus for measuring increase of growth in plants. [1] In case of an arc-auxanometer (see picture), there is a thin cord fixed to the plant apex on one end and a dead-weight on the other with a pointer indicating against an arc scale. In some forms it passes over a pulley ...

7. Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetative_reproduction

   Plant propagation is the process of plant reproduction of a species or cultivar, and it can be sexual or asexual. It can happen through the use of vegetative parts of the plants, such as leaves, stems, and roots to produce new plants or through growth from specialized vegetative plant parts. [4]
