Plant physiology is the study of how plants function at the cellular and biochemical level and how they respond to their environment. It includes studying plant structure and anatomy as they relate to function, energy sources for growth and development, water and nutrient uptake and movement, and plant responses to environmental stresses. Understanding plant physiology is important for agriculture as it provides insights into seed germination, seedling growth, mode of action of herbicides, nutrient requirements, photoperiodism, effects of plant growth regulators, post-harvest physiology, irrigation management, drought tolerance, and water use efficiency - all of which can help improve crop varieties and agricultural practices.

Allelopathy is the chemical inhibition of one plant (or other organism) by another, due to the release into the environment of substances acting as germination or growth inhibitors.
Biological assays are methods for the estimation of nature, constitution or potency of a material by means of the reaction that follows its application to living matter
The soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) is the pathway for water moving from soil through plants to the atmosphere.
Continuum in the description highlights the continuous nature of water connection through the pathway.
The low water potential of the atmosphere, and relatively higher (i.e. less negative) water potential inside leaves, leads to a diffusion gradient across the stomatal pores of leaves, drawing water out of the leaves as vapour.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

7. WHY STUDYPLANTS
• Plants provide the Oxygen to breath
• Plants provide the Ozone UV screen
• Plants provide a diversity of food
• Plants provide fibers
• Plants provide wood and paper
• Plants provided fossil fuels
• Plants provide medicines
• Plants provide latex
• Plants provide essential oils
• Plants provide decoration
• Plants provide jobs
8. IMPORTANCE OF PLANT
PHYSIOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE
• Many aspects of Agriculture and Horticulture can be benefitted
from more intensive research in plant physiology to provide
practical solutions in agriculture and horticulture
• Plant physiology serves as the foundation for the numerous recent
advances in agriculture:
• Forestry
• Pharmacology
• Plant pathology
• Agronomy
• Floriculture
9. 1. SEED PHYSIOLOGY
• Seed is the most important input in agriculture.
• Germination of seed and proper establishment of seedling depends upon
various internal and external factors.
• Knowledge of Seed physiology helps in understanding of different
physiological and morphological changes that occur during germination.
• Any deviation in these processes causes Seed dormancy. Example:
When ever Paddy is used as a seed material in the very next season it is
recommended to treat the seed either with HNO3 (Nitric acid) or with
GA
10. 2. OPTIMUM SEEDLING GROWTH
AND PLANT POPULATION
• By knowing the process of radicle and
plumule emergence and their function
we can achieve best plant health,
which is the outcome of best plant
physiology.
• By knowing the different inputs
requirement of plants (water,
nutrients, sunlight) we can easily
manage the plant population to get
highest yield.
11. 3. MODE OF ACTION OF
DIFFERENT WEEDICIDES
• The use of herbicides to kill unwanted
plants is widespread in modern
agriculture.
• Majority of Herbicides about half of the
commercially important compounds—act
by interrupting photosynthetic electron
flow (Ex. Paraquat, diuron) or electron
flow of respiration.
• In Photosynthesis when the electron
transport is blocked, it virtually stops
light reaction of photosynthesis. When
light reaction is stopped the dark reaction
does not happen and thus CO2 is not fixed
as carbohydrate. Therefore, the weed is
killed by starvation
12. 4. NUTRIOPHYSIOLOGY
• Nutriophysiology is yet another important area to under stand crop
physiology.
• For the healthy growth of a crop around 17 essential elements are
required.
• Knowledge of nutriophysiology has helped in identification of essential
nutrients, ion uptake mechanisms, their deficiency symptoms and
corrective measures.
• It also helps to check the toxicity symptoms of various nutrients.
• The use of fertilizers and their intake by plants can be totally understand
by studying plant physiology.
13. 5. PHOTOPERIODISM
• Response of plant to the relative length of day and night is called as
photoperiodism.
• This concept was used to choose photo insensitive varieties.
• The semi dwarf Rice varieties that have revolutionized Indian agriculture, are
lodging resistant, fertilizer responsive, high yielding and photo insensitive.
• Photo insensitivity has allowed rice cultivation in nontraditional areas like
Punjab.
• Even in traditional areas rice-wheat rotation has become possible only due to
these varieties.
14. 6. PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS
• Plant growth regulators Plants can regulate their growth through internal growth
mechanisms involving the action of extremely low concentrations of chemical
substances called Plant growth substances, phytohormones or Plant growth
regulators.
• The regulation of flowering, seed formation and fruit setting has been controlled
through the application of different hormones at the appropriate time of plant
height and age.
15. 7. POST-HARVEST PHYSIOLOGY
• Post harvest losses of agriculture and horticulture are causing a great distress to
farming community.
• Moisture and temperature are the two important factors causing physiological
changes that reduce the post harvest quality of grains.
• Control of moisture content and maintenance of low temperatures have proved
effective in storage of grains. Being perishable in nature the magnitude of post
harvest loss is comparatively higher in horticultural crops.
• Example: In recent years a method called ‘modified atmospheric storage’ was
developed for prolonged post harvest life of fruits and vegetables. Shelf life of cut
flowers can be increased by application of kinetin (cytokinin). This will reduce the
burst of ethylene and thus reduces the rate of senescence.
16. 8. IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT
AND STRESS
• Indian agriculture being predominantly
rainfed in nature, so development of
drought resistant varieties is very
important.
• Root zone depth, density of roots, plant
water potential, relative water content,
water use efficiency, xerophytic characters
of leaves etc. are some of the characters
helped to bred drought tolerant varieties
and to develop efficient irrigation
management practices (sprinkler and drip
irrigation).
17. 9. TRANSPIRATION EFFICIENCY
OR WATER USE EFFICIENCY
• Among Several physiological approaches, transpiration efficiency or
water use efficiency is the most dependable trait, which is “the amount of
dry matter produced per unit amount of water transpired”.
• The importance of water use efficiency (WUE) in influencing grain yield
under water limited conditions can be explained by the following model
give by passioura.
• Grain Yield = T x TE x HI
• Where T = Total transpiration by the crop canopy
• TE = Transpiration Efficiency or WUE
• HI = Harvest Index (Economic Fraction of Dry matter)
• This relationship provides an analytical tool to select the genotype.
18. Thus, physiological understanding of plants provides the fundamental scientific base
about various aspects of metabolism, growth and development. This is immensely
important for crop improvement or technology improvement in agriculture or
horticulture.
