Plants live with environmental adjustment in nature which is never stable. Water deficit occurs in most natural and agricultural habitats and is caused mainly by intermittent to continuous periods without precipitation. Drought is the meteorological term for a period of insufficient precipitation that results in...

Seeking for new strategies to control plant diseases and improve the yield led to discover different new ideas, including soil organic compounds amendmens such as biochar and compost. These compounds are well known with their suppressive effect against a wide range of soil borne pathogens...

New Zealand harbors many trunk diseases which risk the New Zealand Viticulture and wine industry. Therefore analysis of these trunk diseases and there effects on grapevine cultivars is vital to the New Zealand wine industry. This review aims to tackle each of the trunk diseases...

In order for new plants to grow, seeds need to be distributed to different areas away from the parent plants. A disadvantage of plants compared to animals is that plants cannot physically get up and move themselves to different places. Seed dispersal is a very...

Vegetative, or asexual reproduction in plants, is a type of reproduction process. It involves a new organism being created by splitting or taking a bit of a ‘parent’ organism. The part of the stem that forms new roots and shoots is called a node. These...

Abstract: This lab took place to show the impacts the climate change will have on the production of canola, more specifically Brassica Rapa or the Wisconsin fast plant. The plants were 3 weeks old when we began to study them, at first counting leaves and...

In this experiment, we were testing the rate of photosynthesis in elodea. For a plant to photosynthesize, it needs carbon dioxide and water and sunlight, a factor of photosynthesis. In order for us to measure the rate of photosynthesis, we needed to measure the products...

The genus Brassica includes many species of great economic importance as a source of seed oil (B. rapa, B.oleracea, B. napus…), and are also known to be a good source of bioactive compounds such as glucosinolates, polyphenols, carotenoïds and vitamins (Valeria et al., 2013). These...

Fungicide application is a necessary approach to fight against stripe rust disease. Various synthetic substances were applied to control this disease. Commercial fungicide products were used worldwide. Currently, the following active ingredients are labeled for control of stripe rust in Morocco: propiconazole, azoxystrobin, propiconazole in...

Deep in the system of plants such as in its leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, stem or roots is the plant’s starch that is formed in the organelles of plant cells such as the chloroplasts in plants with green leaves that performs its starch production rapidly;...

Panicum is the biggest genera in the Gramineae familly. Inside the variety Panicum antidotale is one of the essential flooded and range grass species in the semiarid and dry Southwest. It is perennial long lasting grass. The plant varies in height from 1.5 m to...

Phytoplanktons are the most important biomass producers in global aquatic ecosystems. The organisms populate the top layers of the oceans and freshwater habitats where they receive sufficient solar radiation for photosynthesis. Algae produce approximately 52, 000, 000, 000 tons of organic carbon per year, which...

The land plants possess waxy cuticle on the leaves and stem which prevents water loss but also interfere with gas exchange. To cope with this problem, plants have evolved pores in the epidermis called stomata. A stoma consists of two symmetrically opposed specialized cells: guard...

Introduction One of the zones with the most extreme conditions to live at for a plant has to be the shoreline. Vegetation that lives there gets flooded up to twice a day for a couple of hours. Not only do they have to be resistant...

Like franks on Remembrance Day or firecrackers on the Fourth of July, dissolving streets are currently a basic marker of mid year. In 2013, police shut parts of the M25 parkway, which encompasses the city of London, Britain, after black-top began to dissolve, as per...

What is aquaponics? By definition: “Aquaponics is the union of hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aquaculture (farming fish or other aquatic organisms) for a fast, efficient method of producing both plant and fish crops.” (Pattillo, 2012) In other words, it is the creation of...

Seed germination stimulant SLs have been identified as a seed germination stimulant of parasitic plants Striga ssp. and Orobanche spp. These parasitic plants play a major impact on the destruction of crop such as maize, sorghum, millet, rice, and some legumes. Generally, the parasitic seeds...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key-signaling messenger in plants, being involved in a wide variety of physiological processes, ranging from normal plant growth and developmental processes to responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. The biological effect of NO is mainly achieved through a direct interaction...

Swiss researches has tested a field of mustard plants and observed how the pollinating process by bumblebees occur. And they have concluded that the bee-pollinated plants grew and gain a stronger scent. They have also concluded something alarming which was how the flowers in the...

Genus Medicago is one of the oldest forage legume comprising 60 perennial and 35 annual species, distributed mainly around the Mediterranean basin, cultivated throughout the world in diverse environments ranging both temperate and tropical environments (Small and Jomphe, 1989). It is generally agreed that the...

Inflammation is a part of our biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants that causes itchiness, and it’s a protective reaction of our body concerning immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The work of inflammation is...

Many people are not aware of the many health and wellbeing benefits of common household plants and flowers. They have many hidden benefits such as improving air quality, soothing burns, improving sleep and easing anxiety. We wanted to bring you a list of some of...

Physiological Response of Plants to Combined Heat and Pathogen Stress Like dry atmosphere, warm pressure can similarly provoke restriction or powerlessness of plants to pathogen dependent upon the degree of stress and traverse. High temperature empowers pathogen spread and brings about expanding the helplessness of...

Introduction Plant viruses are viruses that effect on plants. Plant viruses are obligate intracellular parasites. Plant viruses are pathogenic to higher plants. Viruses also cause many important plant diseases and are responsible for huge losses in crop production and quality in all parts of the...
