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 [...]

Survey Work for Studying Plant Community | Plant Ecology

Data essential for different ecological characterization of a vegetation or a plant community needs de­tailed survey of the area. A preliminary survey or reconnaissance precedes intensive work in any particu­lar area. During the primary survey of a vegetation the following criteria are generally observed: 1. Distribution of different communities and such other ecological groups, 2. Different climatic, edaphic and topographic [...]
