Summary Introduction
To review:
The African violets and other flowering plants are propagated using leaf cuttings commercially. The types of cell in the original leaf that give rise to the new structures. The property of the cells that makes this method possible need to be discussed here.
Introduction:
Vegetative propagation is a process by which a new plant is produced through vegetative plant parts. Plants have meristematic cells that are capable of differentiating into plant parts if cultured in a growth medium.

- In farming communities, there is a concern that over irrigation can leech nutrients out of the soil, flood a farm area, and add salt to the soil in a process called salinization. The overall negative results are that some plants cannot germinate (grow from seed) and other adult or growing plants will die. Explain what is happening on the cell level, in regards to transport across the cell membrane, why seeds might not germinate, and why adult plants might die.arrow_forwardLook at As shown. Part (A) shows the lower half of a fusiform initial (actually most fusiform initials would be much taller than this), and part (B) shows the same cell after it has divided and one of the daughter cells is developing into a xylem cell. Did the fusiform initial divide with a periclinal wall or an anticlinal wall as it went from part a to part b? Part (D) shows that the same fusiform initial has now produced a second cell that is developing into a phloem cell. Was that phloem cell produced by a periclinal or an anticlinal division of the fusiform initial? Part (F) shows the fusiform initial dividing and forming a second fusiform initial. Is this division occurring by a periclinal wall or an anticlinal wall?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a function of the stem in a plant?

Question: a. How does the red color affect the seedlings of plants in terms of growth? b. How does the blue color affects the seedlings of plant in terms of growth?arrow_forwardWhat plant tissue has cells that are dead at maturity? a. Xylem c. Ground b. Phloem d. Dermalarrow_forward
- Explain how a single plant cell can be grown into an individual plant. How plants are different than animals in this aspect and where in plant biotechnology we use plant tissue culture.arrow_forwardIn plants, match the substances that the vascular tissues, xylem and phloem, each transport. 1. Phloem 2. Xylem 3. Xylem A. Water b. Sucrose c. Nutrientsarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about age gradients within the plant body is FALSE? Select one: a. Age gradients within the plant body include an apical-basal gradient where the youngest cells are near the apices (tips of shoots and roots). b. Age gradients within the plant body reflect the plant cells’ lack of mobility due to their shared walls. c. Phloem is oldest toward the outermost cell layers of the tree trunk and xylem is oldest toward the innermost cell layers of a tree trunk. d. All of the statements are true. e. Age gradients within the plant cells include walls that are youngest immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane and progressively older toward the middle lamella.arrow_forward
