Plant Tissues

10.1K
Plants are multicellular eukaryotes with tissue systems made of various cell types that carry out specific functions. Different tissues work together to perform a unique function and form an organ. Organs working together form organ systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system and a root system. The shoot system consists of two portions: the vegetative (non-reproductive) parts of the plant, such as the leaves and the stems, and the reproductive parts of the plant,...

The Phragmoplast

6.7K
Cell division is essential for organismal growth and development. In animal cells, the central spindle and its associated proteins form the midbody, a structure that has an essential role in cytokinesis. In plants, the central spindle, along with the microtubules, actin, and other cell components, matures into the phragmoplast, which is necessary for cytokinesis. Unlike the stationary midbody, the phragmoplast expands centrifugally, eventually leading to the formation of the new cell wall.

Animal and Plant Cell Structure

53.8K
Animal and plant cells not only differ in their structure, function, and mode of nutrition but also in how they reproduce, specialize, and organize into complex structures.
Cell Division
Though both plant and animal cells divide by mitosis (for non-gametic cells) and meiosis (for gametic cells), they differ in the specifics of this process. Unlike animal cells, plant cells lack centrosomes — an organelle responsible for organizing the spindle fibers and segregating the chromosomes during...

Basic Plant Anatomy: Roots, Stems, and Leaves

66.9K
The primary organs of vascular plants are roots, stems, and leaves, but these structures can be highly variable, adapted for the specific needs and environment of different plant species.

Molecular Models

45.9K
Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

Plant Cells and Tissues02:01

Plant Cells and Tissues

67.5K
Plant tissues are collections of similar cells performing related functions. Different plant tissues will have their own specialized roles and can be combined with other tissues to form organs such as flowers, fruit, stem, and leaves. Two major types of plant tissue include meristematic and permanent tissue.

    Area of Science:

    • Plant Biology
    • Computational Biology
    • Applied Mathematics

    Background:

    • Research groups in plant biology, computer science, and applied mathematics have developed functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) to simulate plant growth and development.
    • FSPMs explicitly represent plant structure as a network of elementary units, distinguishing them from more abstract models.

    Discussion:

    • FSPMs simulate plant growth and development across diverse spatial (cell to forest) and temporal (seconds to decades) scales.
    • They are applicable to a wide range of plant types, from algae to trees.
    • This special issue highlights FSPM advancements in morphological development, process modeling, and integrated dynamics.

    Key Insights:

    • The explicit representation of plant structure in FSPMs is crucial for detailed simulation.
    • Modularity and data exchange are key advantages of the FSPM approach.
    • FSPMs are versatile tools for understanding complex plant systems.

    Outlook:

    • Future FSPM research includes developing advanced modeling platforms and automated 3D structure acquisition methods.
    • Integration of FSPMs for predicting plant and plant community dynamics is a growing area.
    • Practical applications in agronomy are expanding, leveraging FSPM capabilities for crop management.
