The C4 & CAM Pathway Many plant species that evolved in hot‚ dry climates fix carbon through alternative pathways. Under hot and dry conditions‚ plants can rapidly lose water to the air through small pores called stomata. Stomata (singular‚ stoma)‚ are usually located on the undersurface of the leaves. Plants can reduce water loss by partially closing their stomata when the air is hot and dry. Stomata are the major passageways through which CO2 enters and O2 leaves a plant. When a plant’s stomata are

A plants volatile organic compound (VOC) composition is the hand that swats unwanted visitors‚ welcomes visitation from much needed pollinators‚ and the substantial determinant in a plants identity and overall evolutionary fitness within the plant community. Understanding the mechanics of volatile formation is essential in interpreting their importance in plant life‚ and in plant-animal interactions. A huge allocation of energy is assumed to be given to the production of volatiles‚ and is therefore

determination in plants Summary- Evolutionary transitions happened gradually from hermaphroditism to monoec in which multiple sex determining genes are involved which include male-sterility and female-sterility factors. There should not be any recombination between different loci which is the pivotal reason for the genetic degeneration of Y chromosomes. There are several theories attached to Y chromosome degeneration that are reviewed recently . Introduction: why are plant sex chromosomes of

also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae‚ which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis‚ which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex‚ surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue. The stem has a system of nodes where leaves are attached. They have a waxy coating (epidermis) that prevents water loss. The stem and the roots are the 2 main axes in a vascular plant. Fluids are transported
