Module 2B Flashcards
Attainment of size by the virtue of growht and architectural style by morphogenesis
Plant Development
Differentiation of cells into tissues, organs, organism
Morphogenesis
Aspects of plant development
Growth, differentiation, organization
How plants are shaped and organized. Study of plant’s physical form and steucture
Phytomorphology
Irreversible increase of cell number and dry mass
Growth
Increase in size doesn’t mean an increase in growth
True
Phytochemical + meristematic region = ?
Growth
Unspecialized cells turn into different specialized cell, tissues, organs
Differentiation
Where does differentiation start?
Meristematic region
Determinants of what type of cells the unspecialized cells will turn inti
Cell to cell communication
Plant hormones
Environmental factors
Reversal of cell specialization
Dedifferentiation
Ability of unspecialized cell to transform into any type of specialized cell, potentially form any type of organ
Totipotency
Orientation and integration of specialized cells in space. Blueprint. Tissue and organ placement. Spatial location and how differentiated cells are positioned in such a way they function together.
Organization
Attainment of form and structure of the complete organism. Processes on how to establish the spatial structures. Root growth and leaf development
Morphogenesis
Gene expression is not influenced by signals received from external environment
False
Plants are always undergoing development (assuming all plants have meristematic region)
True
Localization of growth
- Take up sumple substances from environment and synthesize them into complex substances.
- At cell level, increase in living material increases cell size and cell division.
