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. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

   The gametophyte is the most commonly known phase of the plant. Bryophytes are typically small plants that grow in moist locations and like ferns, have motile sperm which swim to the ovule using flagella and therefore need water to facilitate sexual reproduction. Bryophytes show considerable variation in their reproductive structures, and a ...

4. Plant reproductive morphology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproductive_morphology

   Close-up of a Schlumbergera flower, showing part of the gynoecium (specifically the stigma and part of the style) and the stamens that surround it. 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.

5. Alternation of generations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternation_of_generations

   In plants both phases are multicellular: the haploid sexual phase – the gametophyte – alternates with a diploid asexual phase – the sporophyte. A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from two sets to one. The resulting haploid spores germinate and grow into ...

6. Monocotyledon reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon_reproduction

   Monocots can be classified as perfect (having bisexual flowers), monoecious (having separate male and female flowers on the same plant), dioecious (having flowers of only one sex on an individual) and polygamous (having bisexual flowers with male and/or female flowers on the same plant). [1] Plants that are dioecious have no other option but to ...

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.

8. Plant development - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

   From that point, it begins to divide to form a plant embryo through the process of embryogenesis. As this happens, the resulting cells will organize so that one end becomes the first root while the other end forms the tip of the shoot. In seed plants, the embryo will develop one or more "seed leaves" . By the end of embryogenesis, the young ...

9. Plant physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_physiology

   A germination rate experiment. Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. [1]Plant physiologists study fundamental processes of plants, such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, nastic movements, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed ...
