Five hundred million years ago‚ the invasion of land was under way. Why then? Astronomical numbers of photosynthetic cells had come and gone‚ and oxygen-producing types had changed the atmosphere. High above Earth‚ the sun’s energy had converted much of the oxygen into a dense ozone layer‚ a shield against lethal doses of ultraviolet radiation. Until then‚ life had not ventured above the surface of water and mud. Algae were evolving at the water’s edge‚ and one group – probably the charophytes

conditions and died. The methods of propagation were not known and most of the orchids which flowered under utmost care were found to be self sterile. Further‚ it was difficult to germinate the seeds‚ which lacks any functional endosperm. The seeds sown in the nursery beds required long period of germination and any disturbance to the soil or physical environment destroyed the whole population. Orchids from 9% of our flora and are the largest botanical family of higher plants in India

of Easter Island. You make an interesting and valid point. Ignorance is what led the Easter Islanders to the demise of their region. Overuse of the natural habitat‚ coupled with the issues of attempting to plant seeds for the trees to grow‚ yet being attacked by rats before the germination process was detrimental. Part of me also thinks about the massive statues they made and the wasted resources it took to move them.

DEVELOPMENT. FLOWER DEVELOPMENT REPORT (ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA) INTRODUCTION. Arabidopsis thaliana is the scientific name used to identify a tiny weed whose common name is ‘mouse ear cress’. It is a dicotyledonous angiosperm since its mature embryo carries two leaves (dicotyledonous) and its seeds are contained in an ovary within the flower (angiosperm). Like many other plants‚ Arabidopsis thaliana is an autotrophic plant capable of producing its own food through photosynthesis. Being firmly

Many Cucurbitaceous species are eaten in several different forms‚ as seeds‚ leaves‚ fruits and sometimes flowers‚ by villagers throughout Africa. IPGRI‚ with national and international partners‚ has been leading the work on the collection‚ characterization and conservation‚ as well as on ethno botany‚ of Cucurbitaceae

Conifers have either needles or scale-like leaves. They bear cones instead of fruits‚ and their seeds do not have a shell-like outer coating like flowering plants. Plants from the Coniferophyta Division include pines‚ cedars‚ hemlocks‚ cypress‚ juniper‚ larches‚ firs‚ spruces‚ and yews. The Coniferophyta Divsion contains only one Class: Pinopsida
