Detection of Organic Acids in Plants | Botany

In this article we will discuss about the tests for detection of organic acids in plants with the help of experiments. In plants there are a number of organic acids synthesized and stored in the cytoplasm. All organic acids possess at least a carboxyl group (—COOH). Organic acids are usually formed during carbohydrate metabolism, particularly during Krebs' cycle reactions or [...]

Detection of Proteins and Amino Acids in Plants

In this article we will discuss about the tests for detection of proteins and amino acids in plants with the help of experiments. Proteins and other elated nitrogenous compounds are the principle constituents of protoplasm and are directly involved in all the physiological processes taking place in the living cells. Proteins of all kinds are synthesized from amino acids, which [...]

Methods of Sampling Plant Communities

The following points highlight the five methods of sampling plant communities. The methods are: 1. Transect Method 2. Bisect 3. Trisect 4. Ring Counts 5. Quadrat Method.  1. Transect Method: When the vegetation is to be studied along an environmental gradient or eco-tone (e.g. tropical to temperate, high or low rainfall areas or precipitation gradient, adjacent areas with different types [...]
