  2. Canopy (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy_(biology)

    Canopy (biology) In biology, the canopy is the aboveground portion of a plant cropping or crop, formed by the collection of individual plant crowns. [1][2][3] In forest ecology, canopy refers to the upper layer or habitat zone, formed by mature tree crowns and including other biological organisms (epiphytes, lianas, arboreal animals, etc..).

  3. Stratification (vegetation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification_(vegetation)

    Forest with canopy, shrub and herb layers of vegetation. The following layers are generally distinguished: forest floor (root and moss layers), herb, shrub, understory and canopy layers. These vegetation layers are primarily determined by the height of their individual plants, the different elements may however have a range of heights.

  4. Canopy root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy_root

    A canopy root, also known as an arboreal root, is a type of root that grows out of a tree branch underneath an epiphytic mat. [1] These adventitious roots form in response to moist, dark, nutrient-rich conditions that are found in “canopy soils”. Canopy roots have been found in species of maple, poplar, alder, myrtle, beech, and spruce ...

  5. Plant development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_development

    Plant development. Important structures in plant development are buds, shoots, roots, leaves, and flowers; plants produce these tissues and structures throughout their life from meristems [1] located at the tips of organs, or between mature tissues. Thus, a living plant always has embryonic tissues. By contrast, an animal embryo will very early ...

  6. Phyllotaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis

    Phyllotaxis. Crisscrossing spirals of Aloe polyphylla. In botany, phyllotaxis (from Ancient Greek φύλλον (phúllon) 'leaf' and τάξις (táxis) 'arrangement') [1] or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem. Phyllotactic spirals form a distinctive class of patterns in nature.

  7. Plant senescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_senescence

    Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees. Leaf senescence has the important function of ...

  8. Quiescent centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiescent_centre

    The quiescent centre is a group of cells, up to 1,000 in number, in the form of a hemisphere, with the flat face toward the root tip of vascular plants. [1] It is a region in the apical meristem of a root where cell division proceeds very slowly or not at all, but the cells are capable of resuming meristematic activity when the tissue surrounding them is damaged.

  9. Lateral root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_root

    Lateral root. Lateral roots, emerging from the pericycle (meristematic tissue), extend horizontally from the primary root (radicle) and over time makeup the iconic branching pattern of root systems. [1] They contribute to anchoring the plant securely into the soil, increasing water uptake, and facilitate the extraction of nutrients required for ...
