from the soil through their roots. The roots are adapted to absorb large volumes of water by having many tiny root hairs‚ which increase the surface area of the roots. Each root hair is an extension of an individual cell on the outside of a root‚ called a root hair cell. Water enters the root hair cell by osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution‚ through a partially permeable membrane. The solution inside the root hair cell is more concentrated

performed extensive research using the aero-hydroponic method at the University of California at Davis‚ where he had received his Ph.D. in the early 1970s.The specific area of research was in quantifying the effect of various levels of dissolved oxygen on root growth‚ especially in the propagation of plants from cuttings. The findings of his research were published in the Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science‚ and HortScience. Both studies were co-authored with David Burger at UCD

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation 1. Rhizobium - Legume Symbiosis Many leguminous plant species can enter into a symbiotic relationship with root-nodule bacteria‚ collectively referred to as rhizobia. The legumes belong to the order Fabales‚ family Leguminosae (alternatively Fabaceae)‚ in eurosid clade I (Doyle and Luckow 2003). Traditionally‚ three main subfamilies are distinguished: Caesalpinoidae‚ Mimosoidae and Papilionidae. Only one nonlegume‚ the woody plant Parasponia sp.‚ can be nodulated

and flowers continually. However Moringa grows best in dry‚ sandy soil. This makes it an ideal tree to grow in semi-desert conditions‚ as it provides both food and shade. Cultivation of Moringa - Easy Instructions 1. Find a sunny place. 2. Make square holes in the ground 30 to 60 cm deep 3. Fill the hole with loose ground 4. Plant the seed 1 cm deep 5. Give the ground some water but not too much‚ otherwise the seed may rotten. 6. Within 1-2 weeks the Miracle springs out the ground! :-) Cultivation

pollination. 3. In total‚ a plant has five basic parts: Roots‚ stems‚ leaves‚ flowers‚ and fruits. Each part performs a major function for the plant. First‚ the roots‚ anchor the plant in the ground‚ and they absorb water and nutrients underneath the soil. The two types of roots are the taproot system and the fibrous root system; both are crucial for plant growth. Second‚ the stems‚ carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots and carry it to the leaves to be produced into food. Inside the

adventitious roots and a new plant subsequently. It is a very common method of vegetative propagation. Farmers divide up the rhizomes‚ tubers or roots stocks at the end of flowering or growing season. Each part grows into a separate plant in the following year. Some plants like dahlia are propagated by root cuttings. 4. Layering: In some plants one or more branches are bent close to the ground and covered with moist soil. After some time‚ the underground portion of those branches produce new roots and develop

around 27°C. This climate makes it very good conditions for plants to grow in. However‚ many plants have had to adapt to survive in the harsh conditions of the tropical rainforest. Some trees grow buttress roots which is when large‚ thick roots grow at the surface of the ground. The tree roots have had to adapt because in the tropical rainforest the nutrients in the ground from decomposed and decaying leaves are near the top of the soil. This is because usually when decomposed matter is on the earth

Adult weevils eat plant leaves during spring and summer‚ its the grubs in autumn winter attack the roots of the plants‚ plants growing in containers are most at risk. Slugs: slugs can be damaging to plants‚ they make small holes in plants and leaves slime trails behind them‚ they strip and eat seedlings‚ if they are not controlled plant wont survive
