History of Plant Physiology
(Gale In Context: Science)
Article discusses the history of the study of life processes of plants, with special focus on early experiments in growth, nutrition and transportation, and cellular and molecular plant physiology.
Intelligent Life: Can we acknowledge agency in plants?
(Gale In Context: Science)
Scientific inquiry into the lives of plants presents us with incredible insights into their behavior and brings to light similarities plants and humans share in the way we interact with the world around us.
Nonvascular Plants
(Gale In Context: Science)
Brief reference article describes the system by which nonvascular plants absorb water and minerals directly through their leaflike scales.
Photosynthesis
(Gale In Context: Science)
Explanation of the process by which all plants and some bacteria use light energy to make food from simple chemicals. Includes a graphic image and a short biography of Jan Ingenhousz, who discovered photosynthesis and plant respiration.
Reproduction in Plants
(Gale In Context: Science)
Comprehensive reference article describes the processes by which plants generate offspring, including sexual and asexual reproduction.
Revolutionizing Plant Biology: Multiple Ways of Genome Engineering by CRISPR/Cas
(Gale In Context: Science)
Article reviews the current status of the various applications of CRISPR/Cas systems in plants, where it is used for the successful generation of stable mutations in a steadily growing number of species.
Vascular Plants
(Gale In Context: Science)
Brief reference article describes the internal systems that transport food and water from one part of the plant to another.
