In this article we will discuss about the process of abscission in plants, explained with the help of suitable diagrams. Abscission is a process that initiates the removal of a part of plant following the formation of a protective layer or scar tissue that prevents the entry of pathogen and protects the inner tissues from desiccation. Plants are shedding organisms. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the secondary growth in monocotyledonous stem. Most monocotyledons consist entirely of primary tissues. The usual vascular cambium is absent from this group and so there is no normal secondary growth. However, in some monocots, the thickening and elongation of stem occurs through primary thickening meristem, diffuse secondary thickening and secondary thickening meristem. Primary [...]
In this article we will discuss about the characteristics of axillary bud in plants. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of the axillary bud in plants. The lateral branch of seed plants, in their nascent state, is referred to as axillary bud that is commonly present on the stem at the axil of leaves. The [...]
