Although plants vary greatly all seed plants share the same general structure. Parts of a plant The function of the plant parts shown in the diagram above are given below. Leaf- Specialised for organism for photosynthesis Stem- Ascending axis of plant growth Flower- Reproductive organ of angiosper...
ChloroplastFalse-color transmission electron micrograph of a chloroplast in a bean leaf. Plant cells can be distinguished from most other cells by the presence ofchloroplasts, which are also found in certainalgae. Achloroplastis a type of plastid (a saclikeorganellewith a double membrane) that ser...
Cells are typically tessellated within plant organs, with some notable exceptions, such as the leaf, where air spaces are formed. The lattice-like nature of these cellular arrangements provides templates upon which molecular events take place. The topological analysis of networks describing plant ...
Summary of some known transcription factors, post-translational regulators, and epigenetic regulators that regulate the expression of carotenogenic pathway genes or PSY protein. Their direct actions on pathway genes or PSY protein in different organs such as leaf, carotenoid-rich fruit, and flower are...

(apical–basal, medio-lateral and adaxial–abaxial) and work from a number of groups has identifiedgeneticand hormonal interactions that are required to establish these axes and for developing the tissues along them [5–8,9•] (Figure 1). Studies of gene function in leaf and root ...

flower anatomyDiagram of the flower of a typical flowering plant (angiosperm). An individual flower may be complete, in that a given floral receptacle producessepals(often greenish and leaflike), petals (often white or coloured other than green),stamens, and a pistil (or pistils). The sepals...
thaliana populations, and exclude the possibility that differential impact of root commensals in roots and shoots is a result due to niche specialization of Pseudomonas 401 on roots only, we inoculated plants with the opportunistic Pseudomonas leaf pathogen OTU5 (isolate p5.e6) (Extended Data Fig....
This section of the site takes a look at the various parts of the plant. Here we take a look at the Plant Leaf and its structure. We then discuss the function that plant leaves play within the plant.
