This is testified to not only by a number of treatises on individual subjects of zoology, of which, besides the titles, only fragments remain, but also by his books on Stones, his Enquiry into Plants, and On the Causes of Plants, which have come down to us entire.

Plants have a number of mechanisms for asexual or vegetative reproduction.

Plants have developed a number of ways to achieve this transport, such as vascular tissue, and the functioning of the various modes of transport is studied by plant physiologists.

Another important fact is that since these buildings hold additional fuel for missiles, increasing the number of Energy Plants will also greatly reduce the time required for missiles to reload.

Plants in the Commelinaceae are usually perennials, but a smaller number of species are annuals.

Plants under water stress decrease both their transpiration and photosynthesis through a number of responses, including closing their stomata.

Plants are the fundamental base of nearly all food chains because they use the energy from the sun and nutrients from the soil and atmosphere, converting them into a form that can be consumed and utilized by animals ; this is what ecologists call the first trophic level.

* Plants buried in the Quelccaya Ice Cap in the Peruvian Andes demonstrate the climate had shifted suddenly and severely to capture the plants and preserve them until now.

Plants shade soils, keeping them cooler and slowing evaporation of soil moisture, or conversely, by way of transpiration, plants can cause soils to lose moisture.

Plants which exhibit hyper accumulation can be used to remove heavy metals from soils by concentrating them in their bio matter.

Plants contain toxins which protect them from herbivores, but some caterpillars have evolved countermeasures which enable them to eat the leaves of such toxic plants.

Plants with root tubers are propagated in late summer to late winter by digging up the tubers and separating them, making sure that each piece has some crown tissue for replanting.

In addition, red Piranha Plants are more aggressive and will emerge from their pipes even if Mario or Luigi are standing directly beside them ( in the original Super Mario Bros., Piranha Plants stay dormant if Mario is standing in close proximity ), although they will remain dormant if Mario is standing directly on top of the pipe, as the ones in the original game do.

Plants absorb dissolved minerals in soils, which are subsequently picked up by the herbivores that eat them and so on, the minerals move up the food chain.

Plants also excrete some waste substances into the soil around them.

Plants can also break down hormones chemically, effectively destroying them.

Plants can be poisonous, but Brazilian tapirs — the largest inhabitant of the South American rainforest — deal with them by eating a little of each species and then supplementing it with kaolin.

Plants and other organisms have chemical defenses that give them an advantage against microorganisms such as fungi.

Charles Darwin in his Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication when discussing the origin of the domestic dog, mentions that Hodgson succeeded in taming the young of the race primaevus of the dhole or Indian wild dog ( Cuon alpinus ), and in making them as fond of him and as intelligent as ordinary dogs.

* Mallee Plants, the mallees is the name given to multi-stemmed eucalypts and the shrubs and grasses associated with them.

Plants are susceptible to many of the common tomato diseases and pests ; other pests such as aphids, white flies, spider mites, and the false potato beetle ( Leptinotarsa juncta ) also attack them.

Plants, which had been on land in forms similar to mosses, liverworts, and lichens since the Ordovician, had just developed roots, seeds, and water transport systems that allowed them to survive away from places that were constantly wet — and consequently built huge forests on the highlands.

Plants fueled by natural gas are usually built adjacent to gas transport pipelines or have dedicated gas pipelines extended to them.

Plants are usually an integral part of a garden railway, and dwarf varieties along with pruning are often used to keep them in proper proportion.

* Plants grown together ( kilayim ): in the Land of Israel plants are to be grown separately and not in close proximity.

He presented this ' provisional hypothesis ' in his 1868 work The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication and felt that it brought ' together a multitude of facts which are at present left disconnected by any efficient cause '.
