Edema in plants is the extended swelling in plant organs caused primarily by an excessive accumulation of water, a condition most damaging in Cacti, Fuchsias, Pelargonium and Succulents.

Succulents are plants which are adapted to withstand periods of drought by their ability to store moisture in specialized storage organs.

The glass-houses are utilized for growing Begonias, Ferns, Cacti, Succulents, Orchids and Bulbous plants for providing a continuous supply of potted plants to be grouped periodically in the conservatories.

Although it may take many months to restore the fuse plug and channel after such an operation, the total damage and cost to repair is less than if the main water-retaining structures had been overtopped.

Corneocytes are surrounded by a protein envelope ( cornified envelope proteins ), filled with water-retaining keratin proteins, attached together through corneodesmosomes and surrounded in the extracellular space by stacked layers of lipids.

Although used for most civil engineering and building structures, bridges and water-retaining structures are covered by separate standards ( BS 5400 and BS 8007 ).

Today, these masonry weirs are water-retaining structures as they have been replaced by two shutters.

Under the Cronquist system of taxonomic classification of flowering plants Asteraceae was the only family in the group, but newer systems ( such as APG II and APG III ) have expanded it to eleven.

Many plants in this family, such as wild carrot, have estrogenic properties and have been used as a folk medicine for birth control.

Wildlife such as ibex live in the higher peaks to elevations of, and plants such as Edelweiss grow in rocky areas in lower elevations as well as in higher elevations.

Below these four classes are non-humans such as plants and viruses.

Animism encompasses the beliefs that there is no separation between the spiritual and physical ( or material ) world, and souls or spirits exist, not only in humans, but also in all other animals, plants, rocks, geographic features such as mountains or rivers, or other entities of the natural environment.

Throughout European history, philosophers such as Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas, among others, contemplated the possibility that souls exist in animals, plants, and people ; however, the currently accepted definition of animism was only developed in the 19th century by Sir Edward Tylor, who created it as " one of anthropology's earliest concepts, if not the first ".

Most of the plants here are native to the region, and many are in danger of extinction, such as the Peltogyne mexicana or purple stick tree.

The genus also contains several well-known ornamental plants, such as Amaranthus caudatus ( love-lies-bleeding ), a native of India and a vigorous, hardy annual with dark purplish flowers crowded in handsome drooping spikes.

Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants .< ref > Aquaculture ’ s growth continuing: improved management techniques can reduce environmental effects of the practice .( UPDATE ).

Bombax or silk-cotton trees attain gigantic proportions in the forests, which are the home of the India rubber-producing plants and of many valuable kinds of timber trees, such as odum ( Chlorophora excelsa ), ebony, mahogany ( Khaya senegalensis ), Oldfieldia ( Oldfieldia africana ) and camwood ( Baphia nitida ).

Whereas a biotic stress would include such living disturbances as fungi or harmful insects, abiotic stress factors, or stressors, are naturally occurring, often intangible, factors such as intense sunlight or wind that may cause harm to the plants and animals in the area affected.

Early French traders called the river Crique Féve, translated as Bean Creek, due to the natural growth of bean plants along the shores.

Plant physiology encompasses all the internal chemical and physical activities of plants associated with life.

More recent campaigning by anti-nuclear groups has related to several nuclear power plants including the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Power Plant, Indian Point Energy Center, Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, Pilgrim Nuclear Generating Station, Salem Nuclear Power Plant, and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant.

In his paper " Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden " (" Experiments on Plant Hybridization "), presented in 1865 to the Naturforschender Verein ( Society for Research in Nature ) in Brünn, Mendel traced the inheritance patterns of certain traits in pea plants and described them mathematically.

Durgapur along with Rourkela Steel Plant | Rourkela and Bhilai Steel Plant | Bhilai were the three integrated steel plants set up under India's Five-Year Plans of India # Second Five-Year Plan ( 1956 – 1961 ) | Second Five-Year Plan in the late 1950s.

The Goro Nickel Plant is expected to be one of the largest nickel producing plants on Earth.

Under the Health of Animals Act and Plant Protection Act, inspectors can prohibit access to an infected area, dispose or treat any infected or suspected to be infected animals or plants.

* Plant pot or flower pot, a container in which plants are cultivated

** Plant propagation, the production of more plants by seeds, cuttings, grafting or other methods

* Plant breeding – art and science of changing the genetics of plants in order to produce desired characteristics.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and beginning of privatization, many large plants and factories, such as the Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Plant, became owned by alleged criminal authorities and oligarchs, while others were declared bankrupt.

The 1945 General Motors Van Nuys Assembly Plant, a major manufacturing facility for General Motors's Chevrolet division along with aerospace and defense plants in neighboring cities led to a prosperity which inspired many to call the San Fernando Valley " America's suburb " ( as in Kevin Roderick's book ).

Plant growth, root development, and seed and fruit development are usually reduced in potassium-deficient plants.

The Cultivated Plant Code states that cultigens are " deliberately selected plants that may have arisen by intentional or accidental hybridization in cultivation, by selection from existing cultivated stocks, or from variants within wild populations that are maintained as recognisable entities solely by continued propagation ".

The Cultivated Plant Code notes that the word cultivar is used in two different senses: first, as a " classification category " the cultivar is defined in Article 2 of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants ( 2009, 8th edition ) as follows: The basic category of cultivated plants whose nomenclature is governed by this Code is the cultivar.

The Cultivated Plant Code emphasizes that different cultivated plants may be accepted as different cultivars, even if they have the same genome, while cultivated plants with different genomes may be regarded as the same cultivar.
