Wilting also serves to reduce water loss, as it makes the leaves expose less surface area. [1] The rate of loss of water from the plant is greater than the absorption of water in the plant. The process of wilting modifies the leaf angle distribution of the plant (or canopy) towards more erectophile conditions. Lower water availability may ...
The leaves are hairy, ovate or lanceolate in shape, and have short or no stalks, wedge-shaped bases and bluntly-toothed margins. The inflorescence is a terminal spike consisting of several loose whorls of clusters of flowers growing in the axils of the leaves. Each flower has a short stalk, five sepals about 10 mm (0.39 in) long and five petals ...
These blooms also deplete the dissolved oxygen in the water, which is known to cause fish kills. [15] Fish kills result from depleting oxygen levels caused by Ceratium blooms. These dinoflagellates play important roles at the base of the food web. They are sources of nutrients for larger organisms and also prey on smaller organisms [14] such as ...

Basil leaves are glossy and ovulate, with smooth or slightly toothed edges that typically cup slightly; the leaves are arranged oppositely along the square stems. [7] Leaves may be green or purple. Its flowers are small and white, and grow from a central inflorescence, or spike, that emerges from the central stem atop the plant.
Too much water causes soggy, mushy roots that cannot provide nutrients to keep buds and blooms alive on the plant. Too little water can cause the roots, leaves, and stems to dry out and be unable ...

They also eat fried chicken with deep-fried basil leaves.
