Plant Hormones01:56

Plant Hormones

27.8K
Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.

Tonicity in Plants00:53

Tonicity in Plants

60.0K
Tonicity describes the capacity of a cell to lose or gain water. It depends on the quantity of solute that does not penetrate the membrane. Tonicity delimits the magnitude and direction of osmosis and results in three possible scenarios that alter the volume of a cell: hypertonicity, hypotonicity, and isotonicity. Due to differences in structure and physiology, tonicity of plant cells is different from that of animal cells in some scenarios.

Plant Cell Wall02:43

Plant Cell Wall

60.7K
The plant cell wall gives plant cells shape, support, and protection. As a cell matures, its cell wall specializes according to the cell type. For example, the parenchyma cells of leaves possess only a thin, primary cell wall.

Plant Cells and Tissues02:01

Plant Cells and Tissues

66.0K
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.

Plant Tissue Culture02:57

Plant Tissue Culture

40.8K
Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, crop improvement, commercial micropropagation, virus elimination, and conservation of rare species.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Plant thorn granuloma is an uncommon skin condition.
  • It results from a pricking injury involving a thorn.

Observation:

  • Retained organic material from the thorn triggers a localized inflammatory foreign body reaction.
  • Clinical presentation includes pain, swelling, and a visible nodule.

Findings:

  • The inflammatory process is confined to the skin.
  • Simple surgical excision is a potential curative treatment.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and treatment can alleviate patient discomfort.
  • Understanding the foreign body reaction aids in managing similar dermatological conditions.
