Plants or trees should be inspected routinely for the appearance of new infections.

Plants should not be mowed following seed set, as this increases chances for seed dispersal.

Plants should not be allowed to cross pollinate and set seed unless the plant is very large, at least 10 inches across, as plants without sufficient biomass will transfer all of their stored reserves into making a very large seed pod and the plants behave much like an annual and die after seed set.

Plants which are large and have set seed pods should be given more frequent fertilizing and should limit only a single seed pod per plant by removing all but one seed pod from a plant.

Plants that grow on the side of high-traffic roads should also not be eaten because of automobile fluid runoff.

Plants should be trimmed back so they cannot be used to get inside.

Plants should form a mantle or thick mulch that protect soil from detachment.

Plants require water only during periods of summer growth and should be kept perfectly dry overwinter, with a minimum temperature of 12 ° C, although certain species can cope with considerably cooler conditions.

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 that are not traditionally grown in a climate would be possible to grow using a controlled environment system like hydroponics.

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

Theophrastus, in On the Nature of Plants, does not give as systematic and detailed an account of olive husbandry as he does of the vine, but he makes clear ( in 1. 16. 10 ) that the cultivated olive must be vegetatively propagated ; indeed, the pits give rise to thorny, wild-type olives, spread far and wide by birds.

Examples would be " Human beings typically have two eyes, two ears, two hands, two feet ", or " The world has a ground and a sky " or " Plants and animals come in a wide variety of sizes and colors " or " I am conscious and alive right now ".

Plants can be divided at potting time.

Plants such as barley ( Hordeum vulgare ) and the date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera ) can tolerate about 5 g / l, and can be considered as marginal halophytes.

Plants that avoid the effects of high salt even though they live in a saline environment may be referred to as facultative halophytes rather than ' true ', or obligatory, halophytes.

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

Plants are generally started in protected locations early in the growing season before being transplanted outside, although some are seeded directly into the ground from which they will be harvested.

Plants producing liquid milk and products with short shelf life, such as yogurts, creams and soft cheeses, tend to be located on the outskirts of urban centres close to consumer markets.

Plants manufacturing items with longer shelf life, such as butter, milk powders, cheese and whey powders, tend to be situated in rural areas closer to the milk supply.

Plants could be said to exhibit a form of equilibrioception, in that when rotated from their normal attitude the stems grow in the direction that is upward ( away from gravity ) while their roots grow downward ( in the direction of gravity ) this phenomenon is known as Gravitropism and it has been shown that for instance Poplar stems can detect reorientation and inclination.

Plants also have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals.

The USDA Plants Database, a resource that is considered authoritative, still places the Actinidaceae within the Theales, an order which has been shown not to be monophyletic.

Plants that colonize tend to be shade-intolerant and tolerable of dry conditions, such as shrubs and vines.

John L. Sullivan ( Joel McCrea ), a popular young Hollywood director fresh from a string of very profitable, but shallow comedies ( e. g. Ants in Your Plants of 1939 ), tells his studio boss, Mr. Lebrand ( Robert Warwick ), that he is dissatisfied and wants his next project to be a serious exploration of the plight of the downtrodden, to be based on the socially-conscious novel O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Plants with the dark leaves can be found growing next to those with green leaves, so there probably is only a single gene controlling the production of the pigment in some varieties at least.

Plants can become yellow and stunted, and will tend to be more prone to drought and diseases.

Historia Plantarum is Latin and literally means History of Plants, although better translations would be " on plants " or " treatise on plants ".

Names of cultivars are regulated by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, and may be registered with an International Cultivar Registration Authority ( ICRA ).

Plants protected by Plant breeders ’ rights ( PBR ) may have a " true " cultivar name – the recognized scientific name in the public domain, and a " commercial synonym " an additional marketing name that is legally protected: an example would be Rosa < tt > Fascination </ tt > = ' Poulmax ', the ‘ Poulmax ’ being the true scientific name.

Plants may bear fruit of all descriptions ( pie trees and shoe trees are common ) or they may be carnivorous ( such as the tangle trees ), making travel in Xanth risky.

Plants must be watered more than once per day and nourished with fertilizer to obtain high-quality fruits and vegetables.

His two major works, Enquiry into Plants and On the Causes of Plants constitute the most important contribution to botanical science during antiquity and the Middle Ages, and held that position for some seventeen centuries after they were written.

Plants that capybaras eat during the summer lose their nutritional value in the winter and thus are not consumed at that time.

Plants capture solar energy and use it to synthesize simple sugars during photosynthesis.

According to Toufic Fahd, around the 9th century, Al-Dinawari, an Iranian Kurdish naturalist, wrote the Kitab al-Nabat ( Book of Plants ), in which he deals with the application of meteorology to agriculture during the Muslim Agricultural Revolution.

Plants grow very fast from November to February when rainfall is heavy, but stop growing during the hot season from March to August.

The most important of his books are two large botanical treatises, Enquiry into Plants, and On the Causes of Plants, which constitute the most important contribution to botanical science during antiquity and the Middle Ages, the first systemization of the botanical world ; on the strength of these works some call him the " father of botany.

While most North American Goodyear Plants had slowed production during the recent years due to outsourcing of U. S. jobs overseas, production was steady at the Union City plant.

Plants fix atmospheric carbon during photosynthesis, so the level of < sup > 14 </ sup > C in plants and animals when they die approximately equals the level of < sup > 14 </ sup > C in the atmosphere at that time.

* 2006-01-13, Sciencedaily: Deep-rooted Plants Have Much Greater Impact On Climate Than Experts Thought Citat: "... The tap roots transfer rainwater from the surface to reservoirs deep underground and redistribute water ... increases photosynthesis and the evaporation of water ... by 40 percent in the dry season ... During the wet season, these plants can store as much as 10 percent of the annual precipitation as deep as 13 meters ( 43 feet ) underground, to be tapped during the dry months ... tree roots acting like pipes to allow water to shift around much faster than it could otherwise percolate through the soil ..."

Plants generally make up a larger part of the bird's diet, especially during autumn migration and in the winter.

* 9th century-Al-Dinawari, a Kurdish naturalist, writes the Kitab al-Nabat ( Book of Plants ), in which he deals with the application of meteorology to agriculture during the Muslim Agricultural Revolution.

Plants need hormones at very specific times during plant growth and at specific locations.

Plants must rely on the food and water stored in their thickened trunks during seasonal or intermittent drought when leaves have been shed and no water is available from the substrate.

Plants produce oxygen gas during photosynthesis to produce glucose but then require oxygen to undergo aerobic photorespiration and break down this glucose and produce ATP.

On 22 October, Lucid and Baker completed the Growth Hormone Concentration and Distribution in Plants experiment by freezing samples of corn seedlings grown in orbit during the mission.

Darwin wrote on page 6 of The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication published in 1868, " This preservation, during the battle for life, of varieties which possess any advantage in structure, constitution, or instinct, I have called Natural Selection ; and Mr. Herbert Spencer has well expressed the same idea by the Survival of the Fittest.

Plants die down to their rhizomes in frigid winters and will maintain their leaves in cool winters during their dormancy period.

Plants originated in water, from where they gradually migrated to land during their long course of evolution.

Plants may get as many as three to five trains a day, especially in " peak season " during the hottest summer or coldest winter months ( depending on local climate ) when power consumption is high.

Plants of this genus produce single-flowered inflorescences, with the flowers often being quite large for the size of the plant, and occurring at any time of the year, though slightly more concentrated during summer in cultivation.

Ji Han wrote the " Rhapsody on Cold Victual Powder ", which lauds the effectiveness of a drug, popular with the literati during the Six Dynasties era, as well as a tract, entitled " Description of Herbs and Plants of the Southern Region " that is no longer extant.
