The organization of gall on the ovary ofSesamum indicum L induced by the gall midge, Asphondylia sesami Felt, not only affects biochemical equilibrium of the host but also causes disturbed vegetative growth and reduced seed-setting. The toxicity created by the gall maker induces the re-orientation of vasculature Cecidogenetic stimuli lead to excessive hypertrophy and hyperplasy forming the gall...

Ap Applicati tions ons in in Pl Plant t Scien Sciences ces Increasingly, quantitative approaches to plant morphology are changing the landscape of research for plant ecology, physiology , and evolution. Advances in microscopy, imaging, and computational analyses potentially allow more detailed investigations than have previously been possible. This has increased the variety and quantity of data...

UV-B radiation affects crop plants. Growing interest has been shown in studying the effectsof UV-B radiation exclusion on crops since 1993. This article summarized the generalconsequences of UV-B radiation exclusion on crop plants from the aspacts of plant morphology,growth and development. UV-B exlusion has promoting effects on plant height, internodeand leaf size. UV-B exclusion increases roo...

Plant cell growth regulation Piezo sensors in animal cells are localized the membrane and transduce mechanical signals. The of plant cells, unlike that is usually plastered up against a stiff wall does not have much mobility. Much cell’s volume accounted for by large central vacuole, which, tonoplast, so mechanically constrained. Radin et al . studied how where use sensors. homologs mechanosens...

Aiming at the Present Condition of Research on soybean growth model, in order to recur the overall dynamic process of soybean growth, we parameterized the main factors that can affect the plants’ physical development and built the soybean plant growth model by adopting the classical biologic plant growth logistic equation and the Self-similarity of plant morphology. In VC6.0 environment, we app...

This study addresses the question of how size-related changes in leaf morphology and physiology influence light absorption and carbon gain of the epiphytic bromeliad Vriesea sanguinolenta. A geometrically based computer model, Y-plant, was used for the three-dimensional reconstruction of entire plants and for calculation of whole plant light interception and carbon gain. Plants of different siz...

Plant cells have a unique problem: the coordination of three different genomes. While the dominance of the nuclear genome is indisputable, it is now clear that organellar signals can have profound effects, not just on nuclear gene expression but, as the Arabidopsis laf6 mutant reveals, also on whole plant morphology.
