No Comments on What do We Study in Botany?

Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, evolution, ecology, and interactions with the environment. It is a branch of biology that encompasses a wide range of topics related to plant life, from the molecular and cellular levels to the ecosystem and global scales. List of Sub-Topics in Plant Ecology: […]

No Comments on Aids for the Study of Taxonomy: Herbaria

Techniques, Procedures, and Stored Information that are useful in the identification and classification of organisms are called taxonomic aids. Herbaria, botanical gardens, museums, zoological parks (zoos) are important taxonomic aids used in the identification of plants and animals. Taxonomic aids are required because the taxonomic study of plants, animals, and other organisms is basic to almost […]

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Types of Endosperm and Fruit Formation In the last article, we have studied fertilization and the formation of the endosperm. In this article, we shall study types of the endosperm. Types of endosperm Nuclear Endosperm: The primary endosperm nucleus divides repeatedly to form a large […]

Fertilization

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Fertilization In last article, we have studied about pollination and its types. In this article, we shall study the process of fertilization. Out Breeding Devices: Most angiosperms produce bisexual flowers (hermaphrodite). But most of them avoid self-pollination naturally or we can say that in plants […]

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Pollination and its Types In this article, we are going to study important step in sexual reproduction in plants i.e. pollination. We shall also study its types. Transfer of pollen grains (shed from the anther) to the stigma of a pistil is termed pollination. Depending […]

Androecium and Gynoecium

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Androecium and Gynoecium The flower is the reproductive unit in the angiosperms. It is meant for sexual reproduction. A typical flower has four different kinds of whorls arranged successively on the stalk or pedicel, called thalamus or receptacle. These whorls are calyx, corolla, androecium and […]

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Sexual Reproduction in Plants Sexual reproduction is also called amphimixis (Gk. amphi – both, mixis – union) or syngenesis (Gk. syn – together, genesis – origin) or amphigony (Gk. amphi – both, gony – marriage). In this article, we shall study sexual reproduction in plants. […]

Science > Biology > Botany > Reproduction in Plants > Asexual Reproduction in Plants In this article, we shall study asexual reproduction in plants. Reproduction: Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to young ones (offspring) similar to itself. The offspring grow, mature and in turn produce new offspring. […]

Transport in Plants

Science > Biology > Botoany > Physiology > Transport in Plants Transportation is a process in which a substance either synthesized or absorbed in one part of the body reaches another. In living things, many substances such as food, gases, minerals salts, hormones, and waste products have to be transported from one part of the […]

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is an important activity that occurs in all green plants, whether flowering or non- flowering. It is the only process by which solar energy is converted into chemical energy. Photosynthesis may be defined as the synthesis of carbohydrates by the green organs (containing chlorophyll) of a plant in presence of sunlight from carbon dioxide […]
