terminal bud of a plant

It induces bud dormancy in a number of plants. In perennial plants, ABA causes the active axillary buds to become dorma..

Tendrils develop as modifications of the stem in certain plants. The terminal bud gives rise to a tendril in Cissus quandrangularis and the axillary bud becomes modified into a tendirl in Passiflor..

e.g. Casurina, Polyalthia etc. Here the stem indefinitely grows by the terminal bud. The lateral branches of the main stem are arranged in an acropetal succession (produced successively towards the apex with older branches towards the base and younger ones towards the apex). ..

. At the nodes, lateral appendages called leaves arise. The leaves are green in colour. Also seen at the nodes are structures called branches and flowers. The branches also produce leaves and flowers. Flowers are the reproductive structures. The tip of the stem usually has a terminal ..

1. Inter veinal chlorosis 2. Followed by necrosis 3. Terminal bud dies and leads to leaf roset..

Higher concentration of auxins inhibit the growth and exert toxic effect on plants. In nature auxin inhibits the growth of lateral buds..

Roots of some plants develop new plants either by directly producing shoots or producing buds. Shoots are produced by roots of woody plants like Dalbergia, Murraya etc. Adventitious buds are formed on the roots of plants like sweet potato,..

Roots of are some plants like raddish, carrot, Dahlia, Tapioca are tuberous and when planted in specially prepared soil, develop adventitious buds which grow into leafy shoots called slips. The young slips are detached from the parental plant and grown separa..

Stem has nodes and internodes. The nodes develop leaves. In the axils of the leaves buds develop called the axillary buds. They develop into new plants on detachment from the parent plant or even when the stem portion remains attached. There are different typ..

In this method of vegetative propagation, a part of the plant, which may be stem, root, leaf or flower, gets detached from the body of the mother plant. The detached part, under suitable environmental conditions develops in to a new independent plant. Among seed p..
