    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatophyllum_bipinnatifidum

    Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (common names: split-leaf philodendron, [1] lacy tree philodendron, selloum, horsehead philodendron, [2] guaimbé [citation needed]) is a plant in the genus Thaumatophyllum, in the family Araceae. Previously it was classified in the genus Philodendron within subgenus Meconostigma.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatophyllum_xanadu

    Thaumatophyllum xanadu is a species of the genus Thaumatophyllum, which previously was the self-heading Meconostigma subgenus of Philodendron. "It differs from all other species of Meconostigma in details of the sexual parts of its spadix, the shape of the leaf scars on the rhizomes, shape of leaf blade, intravaginal squamules, etc".

  4. Plant tolerance to herbivory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tolerance_to_herbivory

    A high roots to shoots ratio will allow plants to better absorb nutrients following herbivory and rigid stems will prevent collapse after sustaining damage, increasing plant tolerance (Tiffin 2000). Since plants have a meristemic construction, how resources are restricted among different regions of the plants, referred to as sectoriality, will ...

  5. Philodendron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philodendron

    A primary hemiepiphytic philodendron starts life high up in the canopy where the seed initially sprouts. The plant then grows as an epiphyte. Once it has reached a sufficient size and age, it will begin producing aerial roots that grow toward the forest floor. Once they reach the forest floor, nutrients can be obtained directly from the soil.

  6. Phosphorus deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_deficiency

    Phosphorus is used by plants in numerous processes such as photophosphorylation, genetic transfer, the transportation of nutrients, and phospholipid cell membranes. [2] Within a plant cell these functions are imperative for function, in photophosphorylation for example the creation of stored energy in plants is a result of a chemical reaction ...

  7. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    The root, especially the root hair, a unique cell, is the essential organ for the uptake of nutrients. The structure and architecture of the root can alter the rate of nutrient uptake. Nutrient ions are transported to the center of the root, the stele, in order for the nutrients to reach the conducting tissues, xylem and phloem. [6]

  8. Plant microbiome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_microbiome

    The most notable examples are plant root-arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and legume-rhizobial symbioses, both of which greatly influence the ability of roots to uptake various nutrients from the soil. Some of these microbes cannot survive in the absence of the plant host ( obligate symbionts include viruses and some bacteria and fungi), which ...

  9. Rhizobacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizobacteria

    For the plant to be able to benefit from the added available nutrients provided by the rhizobacteria, it needs to provide a place and the proper conditions for the rhizobacteria to live. Creating and maintaining root nodules for rhizobacteria can cost between 12–25% of the plant's total photosynthetic output.
