The flowering plants or angiosperm have reproductive structures found within, structures called flowers and the seeds, while developing and enclosed within a fruit. Flowers are organs which are specialized for sexual reproduction. Despite the different shapes and sizes of flowers, they are all made up of similar parts. FLOWER STRUCTURE The flower is made […]

 Green plants make food by a chemical process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process of capturing and transforming the energy of sunlight into chemical energy. Plants use carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and release oxygen. Respiration on the other hand is a chemical process in which food is oxidized in an organism

 There are basically two types of stems – herbaceous stems and woody stems. Herbaceous plants have soft, green, juicy stems that are called herbaceous stems. They have a life span of one to two years. The cells of apical meristems are the source of all the tissues of herbaceous plants. Herbaceous stems are produced by

 Plant propagation involves the formation and development of new individuals which are utilised in the establishment of new plantings. The importance of plant propagation in crop production is that it perpetuates plants as independent units. There are two main ways or methods of plant propagation. First, propagation by seed (sometimes called the sexual method). The

 Artificial vegetative propagation is a type of plant reproduction that is accomplished through artificial means involving human intervention. The most common types of artificial vegetative reproductive techniques involve cutting, layering, grafting, suckering, and tissue culture. These methods are employed by many farmers and horticulturists to produce healthier crops with more desirable qualities. Principal Methods of

 A flowering plant are those plants which have roots, stems, leaves and whose reproductive structures are flowers. The roots of a plant are usually found underground. All the parts of vascular plants have an outer covering of protective tissue and an inner matrix of tissue within its embedded vascular tissue that conducts water, nutrients, and food
