Polarity of a Pollen Grain | Plants

Polarity is defined as the condition of having distinct poles in a pollen grain. Jackson in 1928 assumed that a pollen grain points to the poles like Silphium. Silphium laciniatum, also known as compass plant, has leaves that 'turn their edges north and south and avoid the mid-day radiation' —Willis.

Origin of Cell Wall in Plants | Botany

In this article we will discuss about the origin of cell wall in plants. Initially middle lamella creates a new boundary between the two-daughter nuclei of a dividing cell. The components of cell wall deposit on either side of middle lamella to form the cell wall. In a non-vacuolated cell, nucleus is usually present at the centre where it divides. [...]
