This document summarizes the anatomy of the stem and leaf of the cycas plant. It describes that the leaf is differentiated into an upper and lower epidermis, hypodermis, mesophyll, and vascular tissue. The mesophyll contains palisade and spongy parenchyma. The stem anatomy resembles dicots, with a cortex, ring of vascular bundles, large pith, and concentric mesarch leaf traces. Each cycas leaf receives four supplies from two vascular bundles via concentric, endarch to mesarch leaf traces.
This is a detailed presentation on Morphology, anatomy and reproduction of Marchantia spp. with high quality pics and eye capturing transitions and animations
The "Telome theory" of Walter Zimmermann (1930, 1952) is the most accepted theory that is based on fossil record and synthesizes the major steps in the evolution of vascular plants.
It describes how the primitive type of vascular plants developed from Rhynia like plants.

Gnetum: A Powerpoint Presentation on Gymnospemsshivduraigaran
The Gymnosperms are a group of seed-producing plants (spermatophytes) that includes conifers (Pinophyta), cycads, Ginkgo, and gnetophytes. The term "gymnosperm" comes from the Greek composite word γυμνόσπερμος (γυμνός gymnos, "naked" and σπέρμα sperma, "seed"), meaning "naked seeds". The name is based on the unenclosed condition of their seeds (called ovules in their unfertilized state). The non-encased condition of their seeds stands in contrast to the seeds and ovules of flowering plants (angiosperms), which are enclosed within an ovary. Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scales or leaves, which are often modified to form cones, or solitary as in Yew, Torreya, Ginkgo.
The gymnosperms and angiosperms together compose the spermatophytes or seed plants. The gymnosperms are divided into six phyla. Organisms that belong to the Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, and Pinophyta (also known as Coniferophyta) phyla are still in existence while those in the Pteridospermales and Cordaitales phyla are now extinct.
By far the largest group of living gymnosperms are the conifers (pines, cypresses, and relatives), followed by cycads, gnetophytes (Gnetum, Ephedra and Welwitschia), and Ginkgo biloba (a single living species). Roots in some genera have fungal association with roots in the form of micorrhiza(Pinus), while in some others(Cycas) small specialised roots called coralloid roots are associated with nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria.
Gnetum is a genus of gymnosperms, the sole genus in the family Gnetaceae and order Gnetales. They are tropical evergreen trees, shrubs and lianas. Unlike other gymnosperms, they possess vessel elements in the xylem. Some species have been proposed to have been the first plants to be insect-pollinated as their fossils occur in association with extinct pollinating scorpion flies. Molecular phylogenies based on nuclear and plastid sequences from most of the species indicate hybridization among some of the Southeast Asian species. Fossil-calibrated molecular-clocks suggest that the Gnetum lineages now found in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia are the result of ancient long-distance dispersal across seawater
• Gymnosperms (Gymnos = naked, Sperma = seed) include the small group of plants with naked seeds.
• The Gymnosperms originated in the Devonian period of the Paleozoic Era and formed the supreme vegetation in the Mesozoic Era.

Plant leaves help to sustain life on earth as they generate food for both plant and animal life. The leaf is the site of photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis is the process of absorbing energy from sunlight and using it to produce food in the form of sugars. Leaves make it possible for plants to fulfill their role as primary producers in food chains. Not only do leaves make food, but they also generate oxygen during photosynthesis and are major contributors to the cycle of carbon and oxygen in the environment. Leaves are a part of the plant shoot system, which also includes stems and flowers.
1. Plant leaves are very important structures as they help to maintain life on earth by generating food (sugars) via photosynthesis.
2. Leaves can have different shapes and sizes. The basic components of leaves in flowering plants (angiosperms) include the blade, the petiole, and the stipules.
3. There are three main tissues found in leaves: the epidermis, the mesophyll, as well as vascular tissue. Each tissue type is composed of layers of cells.
In addition to performing photosynthesis, some plants have other highly specialized functions. Examples include carnivorous plants that can 'eat' insects.
4. Some animals, like the Indian leafwing butterfly, mimic leaves to camouflage themselves from predators.
This is a Life Cycle of Shpagnum, A good content for Masters Students. (But this content is not made by me...but i thought that this will help many students who are in search for content)
Thank you 😊
the top three theories of root apical meristem in plants. The theories are: 1. Apical Cell Theory 2. Histogen Theory 3. Korper-Kappe Theory.The root apical meristem, or root apex, is a small region at the tip of a root in which all cells are capable of repeated division and from which all primary root tissues are derived. The root apical meristem is protected as it passes through the soil by an outer region of living parenchyma cells called the root cap.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Anatomically leaf is differentiated into
:-
Upper epidermis
Hypodermis
Mesophyll
Vascular tissue
Lower epidermis
• Anatomy of leaf
5. Epidermis is single layer covered with cuticle.
Hypodermis is single layered And
sclerenchymatous hypodermis.
It provides mechanical strength, protection,act
as heat absorbing.
Mesophyll Is differentiated into palisade
parenchyma and spongy parenchyma .
Palisade parenchyma present below upper
epidermis it consists vertical alongated
columnar cells ,l perform photosynthesis.
Spongy parenchyma present on lower surface.
They have intercellular spaces , contain
chlorophyll perform photosynthesis
6. Vascular bundles are located in the centre portion of the midrib.
Vascular bundles are surrounded by parenchymatous and multilayered
bundle sheath.
Vascular bundles similar to that of the tip of rachis.
Vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral, open.
Xylem composed of a large triangular-shaped centripetal xylem and two
patches of laterally placed small centrifugal xylem.
Phloem present on the abaxial side of the left.
An inactive Cambium is present between the xylem and phloem.
Lateral veins are completely absent in cycas leaf.
7. Anatomy of the stem of cycas resemble that of dicot
plants
The TS of stem is irregular in outline due the presence
of Persistent leaf base and leaf scares.
Cortex very large and composed of loosely packed
parenchymatous cells.
Vascular tissue consists of many vascular bundles
arranged as a ringThe pith very large and
parenchymatous.
Many mucilage canales and leaf traces present in the
cortex.Cortical and pith parenchyma contain plenty of
starch grains.
Leaf traces in cycas are called as girdles.
Leaf traces are concentric and mesarch.
• Anatomy of stem
8. • Parenchymatous leaf gaps are present in
cycas, hence leaves are macrophyllos.
• Each leaf receives four supplies from two
vascular bundles from the stem .
• Each leaf receives four traces.
• Leaf traces are concentric and endarch
when they start and mesarch when they
pass out the cortex.
9. • The presence of concentrated bundle is pteridophyte character which
shows the affinity between cycas and ferns.
• Leaf traces in cycas are called as girdles.
• Leaf traces are concentric and mesarch.
