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 [...]
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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about the tests for the detection of alkaloids in plants with the help of experiment. The alkaloids are a group of basic, secondary plant substance, which usually possess a N-containing hetero-cycle. Their basic character is due to this feature. The alkaloids are mostly colourless, crystalline and non-volatile solids. They are insoluble in water, but [...]
