  2. Structural integrity and failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_integrity_and...

    Collapsed barn at Hörsne, Gotland, Sweden Building collapse due to snow weight. Structural integrity and failure is an aspect of engineering that deals with the ability of a structure to support a designed structural load (weight, force, etc.) without breaking and includes the study of past structural failures in order to prevent failures in future designs.

  3. Houseplant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houseplant

    A houseplant, sometimes known as a pot plant, potted plant, or an indoor plant, is an ornamental plant that is grown indoors. [1] As such, they are found in places like residences and offices, mainly for decorative purposes. Common houseplants are usually tropical or semi-tropical, and are often epiphytes, succulents or cacti. [2]

  4. Variegation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variegation

    Some variegation is caused by structural color, not pigment; the microscopic structure of the plant itself reflects light to produce varying colors. This can happen when an air layer is located just under the epidermis resulting in a white or silvery reflection. [ 8 ]

  5. Calcium deficiency (plant disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_deficiency_(plant...

    Plants are susceptible to such localized calcium deficiencies in low or non-transpiring tissues because calcium is not transported in the phloem. [1] This may be due to water shortages, which slow the transportation of calcium to the plant, poor uptake of calcium through the stem, [ 2 ] or too much nitrogen in the soil.

  6. Plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morphology

    Thirdly, plant morphology studies plant structure at a range of scales. At the smallest scales are ultrastructure, the general structural features of cells visible only with the aid of an electron microscope, and cytology, the study of cells using optical microscopy. At this scale, plant morphology overlaps with plant anatomy as a field of study.

  9. Plant root exudates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_root_exudates

    The rhizosphere is the thin area of soil immediately surrounding the root system. It is a densely populated area in which the roots compete with invading root systems of neighboring plant species for space, water, and mineral nutrients as well as form positive and negative relationships with soil-borne microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and insects.
