Introduction Gregor Johann Mendel was a 19th-century Austrian abbot who was also a biologist and mathematician. He started his experiments regarding the pattern of inheritance in 1856. Primarily, he started with mice. However, he later switched to honeybees and garden peas. In the end, garden peas became the primary model for his experiments. Hence, this … Read more
Introduction Vascular cambium is the main form of tissue development in angiosperms and gymnosperms like Pine. The vascular system is composed of the xylem and phloem. It has two types, primary and secondary. The primary xylem and phloem construct the primary tissues. The vascular cambium gives rise to the secondary xylem and phloem. This is … Read more
Introduction The gymnosperm (naked seed-bearing vascular plants) ‘Gymnos’ and ‘Sperma’ in Greek means naked and seed. As the name suggests, the ovules remain exposed, both before and after the completion of fertilization. Gymnosperms are mostly woody (in some cases shrubby) in nature, having roots, shoots, and leaves. The root system is generally like dicots (tap … Read more
Know in one minute about light-dependent reactions Light-dependent reactions produced ATP and NADP + H, in the presence of light. Take place on the grana of the chloroplast. In the membrane of thylakoid PS-I and PS-II is present. This photosystem is a light-harvesting complex, consisting of a reaction center. Light harvesting complexes contain chlorophyll and … Read more
Primary metabolites Primary metabolites like carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides, and proteins can be found in all plants. They are responsible for basic physiological functions. Are indispensable for the life of each plant. In short, the primary metabolites are the building blocks of the body of the plants. The following article is about primary metabolites and … Read more

The type of farming varies from place to place. There are various types of agricultural methods. Plantation agriculture is one of the most widely used … Read more
Introduction Cork cambium is the layer of cambium that is usually seen in woody plants. Different types of tissues and cells form the plant body, which helps the plant to grow by producing new cells and tissues. Cork cambium is a type of secondary meristematic tissue. The Secondary tissues are formed during the secondary growth … Read more
