Plants and their adaptations:Plants are sessile organisms and they are thus incapable of escaping unfavorable environmental conditions by moving away. This has led them to develop specific adaptations to survive in their environments.Answer and Explanation: ...
MINTS (Plants)PLANT metabolitesDROUGHT managementPlants are sessile, and their ability to reprogram their metabolism to adapt to fluctuations in soil water level is crucial but not clearly understood. A study was performed to determine alterations in intermediate metabolites involved in...
Plants are sessile organisms, which are vulnerable to environmental stresses. As such, plants have developed multiple molecular, physiological, and cellular mechanisms to cope with natural stressors. However, these environmental adversities, including drought, are sources of the main agribusiness problems ...
Plants whose leaves are directly connected to the stem with no petiole are called sessile leaves.Answer and Explanation: The petiole is often mistaken for the stem but it is the link between the leaf and the stem. The petiole, when present, has several functions. It is......
Plants are exposed to a multitude of biotic stressors, including infection by phytopathogens and attack by herbivorous insects. As sessile organisms, plants have evolved finely adjusted defence strategies to protect themselves from biotic stress1,2,3,4,5. Their defences do not only target the feed...
Streptomycetes are sessile bacteria that produce metabolites that impact the behavior of microbial communities. Emerging studies have demonstrated that Streptomyces spores are distributed through various mechanisms, but it remains unclear how spores are transported to their preferred microenvironments, such as...
2. Functional activities of ROS in plants under abiotic stresses Plants, as sessile organisms, are commonly exposed to diverse unfavorable environmental factors including drought, cold, and heat that may induce stress conditions. Throughout the life cycle of plants, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are...

“Temperature affects everything from how fast the heart beats to how flexible and porous our cell membranes are; from how much food animals eat to how fast plants grow,” said Pinsky. “Temperature is in many ways the metronome for life.” ...
