  2. Plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morphology

    The plant morphologist goes further, and discovers that the spines of cactus also share the same basic structure and development as leaves in other plants, and therefore cactus spines are homologous to leaves as well. This aspect of plant morphology overlaps with the study of plant evolution and paleobotany.

  3. Introgressive hybridization in plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introgressive...

    One study exploring the extent of introgression among three species of poplar trees (P. balsamifera, P. angustifolia and P. trichocarpa) conducted along the Rock Mountain range in the U.S. and Canada found extensive introgression in areas of species converge. Genomic sequencing even showed a trispecies hybrid in these overlapping areas.

    An image of multiple chromosomes, taken from many cells. Plant genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity specifically in plants. [1] [2] It is generally considered a field of biology and botany, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.

  8. Persea palustris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persea_palustris

    Persea palustris, also known as swamp bay or swampbay, is a small tree or shrub found throughout the Southeastern United States and the Bahamas, with much of its range overlapping with that of its relative Persea borbonia. It is generally not more than 40 feet (12 meters) tall, with bark separated into scales by fissures across its surface.

  9. Tillandsia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillandsia

    The flower's color varies greatly; red, yellow, purple and pink flowers exist in this genus, and multicolored flowers are known. The bright colors attract pollinators. An air plant's foliage may also change color when it blooms, also attracting pollinators. The hermaphrodite flowers are threefold with double perianth.
