    Along other root segments absorption was similar. Absorbed potassium is transported to the root tip, and to a lesser extent other parts of the root, then also to the shoot and grain. Calcium transport from the apical segment is slower, mostly transported upward and accumulated in stem and shoot. [46]

  3. Plant anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_anatomy

    Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants.Originally, it included plant morphology, the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century, plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure.

  4. Root system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_system

    If is a root system, the Dynkin diagram for the dual root system is obtained from the Dynkin diagram of by keeping all the same vertices and edges, but reversing the directions of all arrows. Thus, we can see from their Dynkin diagrams that B n {\displaystyle B_{n}} and C n {\displaystyle C_{n}} are dual to each other.

  5. Taproot - Wikipedia

    Fusiform root: this root is widest in the middle and tapers towards the top and the bottom: e.g. radish. Napiform root: the root has a top-like appearance. It is very broad at the top and tapers suddenly like a tail at the bottom: e.g. turnip. The edible, orange part of the carrot is its taproot. Many taproots are modified into storage organs ...

    In a vascular plant, the stele is the central part of the root or stem [1] containing the tissues derived from the procambium. These include vascular tissue, in some cases ground tissue and a pericycle, which, if present, defines the outermost boundary of the stele.

    Tuberous roots or root tubers – Narrow sense, those storage roots that do not conform to a specific shape, such as fasciculated, nodulose moniliform, annulated, etc.: e.g. sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), whose edible part is a root of this type. Broader sense, adventitious roots swollen due to their storage function.

    A simplified diagram of the relation between the plant and the symbiotic bacteria (cyan) in the root nodules. Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. [1]
