- What are the external factors on seedling growth? and what are their effects in seed growth and germination? (The seeds used in the experiment are monggo seeds)arrow_forwardIn a common eudicot pattern of development for the common bean in the figure, the radicle emerges from the seed (1), then begins to develop into a primary root that grows down into the soil. As this occurs, the hypocotyl emerges from the seed and bends into the shape of a hook (2). The bent hypocotyl lengthens and pulls the cotyledons upward (3). When the hypocotyl reaches the soil surface, exposure to light causes it to straighten (4). Primary leaves emerge from between the cotyledons and begin photosynthesis. The cotyledons typically undergo a period of photosynthesis before shriveling (5). Eventually, the cotyledons fall off the lengthening stem, and the young plant’s new leaves produce all of its food. a) Identify and explain what environmental factors influence the timing and coordination of the germination of seeds.arrow_forwardHow and from where do cotyledons develop from for a bean seed?arrow_forward
- Examine the shoot system of a mature plant (Coleus blumei). Identify the shoot tip, nodes, internodes, leaves, and axillary buds. Each unit of stem that consists of a leaf, axillary bud and internode is referred to as a phytomere. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds give rise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin). How does this compare to branching in a root system?arrow_forwardThe oat coleoptiles of the seedlings above have been modified: either cut or placed in a light-blocking tube. Which ones will stills bend toward a directional light source?arrow_forwardExplain the process of secondary growth in the stems of woody angiospermswith the help of schematic diagrams.

- What is the water content of matured seed and what is the reason behind for the low water content? *arrow_forwardIn the heart embryo stage of Arabidopsis thaliana, there are three key anatomical features that are essential for plant development. The red highlighted cells will become the the yellow highlighted cells will become the and the two "lobes" of the heart will become the suspensor; apical meristem; seed coat basal daughter cell; apical daughter cell; cotyledons shoot apical meristem; root apical meristem; taproots suspensor; shoot apical meristem; taproots root apical meristem; shoot apical meristem; cotyledonsarrow_forwardIn some of the fruits, the floral parts are persistent even up to maturity. Identify these parts. Consider Psidium guajava and Oryza sativa. What are the structures attached at the upper part of the two fruits.arrow_forward
