Environmental factors greatly influence the structural and physiological adaptations of leaves in plants. Some of the factors like light, temperature and water greatly affect the structural and biochemical change in the leaf. Thus plants growing under forest canopy and deserts (Table 13-6) have different structural adaptabilities. Xerophytic plants have adaptations which help the plant to minimize water loss and at [...]
The below mentioned article provides study notes on Cyclic AMP (CAMP). Cyclic AMP was discovered by E.W. Sutherlandt in 1956 in animal liver cells. Since then it has been demonstrated in several animal tissues where its regulatory role has been well demonstrated. There are several evidences regarding the presence of cAMP in plants. Most of these evidences are based on [...]
Vernalization has multiple interactions with photoperiodism. Thus, a cold requirement for flowering appears to be associated with a specific photoperiod. The most well quoted instance is that of need for vernalization and LD which leads to flowering in late spring or early summer. However, a cold requirement may also be accompanied by a SD photoperiodic response. Vernalization is also known [...]
