- 1. The World of Plants Welcome to the fascinating world of plants. They are essential to life on earth and come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Let's take a closer look. ALLTYPESOFFERTILIZERS,PLANTS HomePage-Plantgenicherb Our maingoalistoalwaysachieveahighlevelofcustomer satisfaction by Ankit
- 2. Types of Plants Woody Woody plants have stiff, woody stems and are typically trees or shrubs. They can live for hundreds or even thousands of years like the giant redwoods. Herbaceous Herbaceous plants have soft, flexible stems and usually die back to the ground each year. Flowers like orchids are an example of herbaceous plants. Succulents Succulents like cacti have thick, fleshy leaves or stems that store water. They are well-adapted to dry environments.
- 3. Plant Anatomy and Physiology Leaves Leaves are the primary site of photosynthesis and gas exchange. Stems Stems provide support and transport water and nutrients. Roots Roots anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Flowers Flowers attract pollinators and develop into fruits and seeds.
- 4. Photosynthesis 1 Light Dependent Reactions Light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. 2 Light Independent Reactions Carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions. 3 Pathways and Cycles The Calvin cycle and C4 and CAM pathways are adaptations to different environments.
- 5. Importance of Plants to Humans Food Plants provide us with essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Medicine Many drugs are derived from plant compounds. Plants like lavender, chamomile, and valerian are used for relaxation. Materials Wood, cotton, and other plant fibers are used to make clothing, paper, and furniture.
- 6. Threats to Plant Species Deforestation Forests are cleared for agricultural and urban development, causing habitat loss and biodiversity decline. Invasive Species Non-native plants can outcompete and displace native species, altering ecosystems. Pollution Toxic chemicals like pesticides and herbicides can harm plants directly or indirectly through soil and water contamination.
- 7. Conservation Efforts Propagation Plants can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, and tissue culture to increase their numbers. Reforestation Organizations like the Arbor Day Foundation and National Forest Foundation plant trees to combat deforestation. Ecological restoration Restoration projects aim to restore damaged ecosystems and reintroduce native plant species.
- 8. Future of Plant Research 1 Gene Editing CRISPR technology can edit plant DNA to improve their traits and resistance to pests and disease. 2 Vertical Farming High-tech indoor farms use LED lights, hydroponics, and AI to grow crops more efficiently, using less land and resources. 3 Food Security Developing new plant varieties for different climates, improving crop yields, and reducing food waste are critical for feeding a growing population.
