Transpiration and Leaf Resistance By: Bernina Berber Introduction Transpiration is a part of the water cycle process, and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of the plants. It is a process similar to evaporation. Evaporation and diffusion cause the plant tissue to have negative water potential. If you were to compare transpiration it would be like saying it is close to sweating (but in plants), especially in leaves but also in stems, flowers and roots. Stomata are dots with openings on

All too often, homeowners and gardeners wage war in their lawns and gardens against the plants that grow incredibly well there, but that aren't intentionally planted, and many times, the justification for these battles all comes down to the words we use to describe them. When we buy and plant packets of common flower, vegetable, or herb seeds, we spend a lot of time, energy, and water in our efforts to get those seeds to germinate and grow, and take pride in our green thumb and homegrown food supply

Rubber trees, or scientifically known as Hevea Brasiliensis from Euphorbiaceous family, are particularly prevalent in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, southern part of India and the southwestern part of Sri Lanka [1]. Today, rubber tree has been the main source of natural rubber for use worldwide. It has high export potentials and is rated as one of the most profitable Agri-industrial ventures [2]. Asian’s well known Rubber tree boards are (RRIM) (Malaysia), RRII (India), RRIC (Sri Lanka), and BPM

Petiole is the support that bind the leaf blade to the stem. It is the passage between the stem and the leaf blade. Petiole ends where the blades begin. In a typical and carnivorous plant, the petiole is the channel where the products of photosynthesis are moved from individual leaves to the rest of a plant, making it an important part of photosynthesis. Lamina or blade, is the leaf tissue that encompasses mesophyll cells, which contain chloroplasts, making its primary function photosynthesis. The

The XRD results revealed the presence of magnetite nanoparticles and indicated their sizes from 30 – 40 nm (Figure 1a). SEM micrograph clearly illustrates that the magnetite nanoparticles sizes varied from 27.3– 34.62 nm (Figure 1b). Leaf fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) FW and DW of peppermint leaves decreased in different concentrations of NaCl (Table 1). Several factors such as reduction of photosynthesis, degradation of cell membranes, reducing of plant available water and Na+ accumulation

My definition for home cannot be described by words or by a simple thought, but home is rather of a feeling. Home is the calmness and serenity that settles over me like a blanket on a cold snowy night, just a silent assurance telling me I belong there. It took me quite a bit of time to understand where exactly that place was, and I didn’t know that the answer was always right in front of me. This feeling would come and go, and I would never recognize it because I knew that only the house I lived

Japanese maple, the most common visual sign of Anthracnose are small spots on the leaves. These spots are usually either yellow or brown in color. The spots start out dotting your leaves. Over time, the spots expand until they cover up almost the entire leaf. Yellow or brown spots can also appear on the twigs on your trees. They generally appear on new growth. Treatment Prevention is the key with anthracnose. Make sure to not overwater plants. Do not get the leaves wet when watering; use a drip sprinkler

Introduction Photosynthesis is a vital process for the survival of all life on Earth. The byproduct of photosynthesis, oxygen, profoundly contributes to the formation of the protective ozone layer (Johnson, 2016). In addition to that, photosynthesis controls 99% of the Earth’s ecosystem for every organism requires energy to fulfill their metabolism (“Overview of Photosynthesis”, 2013). Besides providing essential energy and oxygen for living organisms, photosynthesis also plays an important role
