Plant Breeding Program: This breeding program has a series of events that take place to achieve desired variations in a species:
Life Cycles Life cycles differs in the duration of haploid and diploid phase. There are three types of life cycles: (A) Haplonti
Active Transport: Uses energy to pump molecules against a concentration gradient. Casparian strip presents in the endodermis (the i
In plants, special long distance transport is necessary as sites of production or absorption and sites for storage too far and at much faster rate. This is generally done by m
