  • Classification of Botany and Use of Plants
    SECTION 1: CLASSIFICATION OF BOTANY AND USE OF PLANTS 1. Introduction Botany refers to the scientific study of the plant kingdom. As a branch of biology, it mainly accounts for the science of plants or ‘phytobiology’. The main objective of the this section is for participants, having completed their training, to be able to: 1. Identify and classify various types of herbs 2. Choose the appropriate categories and types of herbs for breeding and planting 1 2. Botany 2.1 Branches – Objectives – Usability Botany covers a wide range of scientific sub-disciplines that study the growth, reproduction, metabolism, morphogenesis, diseases, and evolution of plants. Subsequently, many subordinate fields are to appear, such as: Systematic Botany: its main purpose the classification of plants Plant morphology or phytomorphology, which can be further divided into the distinctive branches of Plant cytology, Plant histology, and Plant and Crop organography Botanical physiology, which examines the functions of the various organs of plants A more modern but equally significant field is Phytogeography, which associates with many complex objects of research and study. Similarly, other branches of applied botany have made their appearance, some of which are Phytopathology, Phytopharmacognosy, Forest Botany, and Agronomy Botany, among others. 2 Like all other life forms in biology, plant life can be studied at different levels, from the molecular, to the genetic and biochemical, through to the study of cellular organelles, cells, tissues, organs, individual plants, populations and communities of plants. At each of these levels a botanist can deal with the classification (taxonomy), structure (anatomy), or function (physiology) of plant life.

  • Agronomy Spotlight Corn Pollination Affected by Heat and Drought
    Agronomy Spotlight /////////////////// Corn Pollination Affected by Heat and Drought High Temperature Versus Drought Stress High-temperature damage to corn typically coincides with drought stress. It is difficult to separate the effects of drought and heat stress. However, high temperatures alone are not believed to severely stress corn pollination when there is adequate soil moisture.1 Effects of Heat on Pollen Shed An individual tassel can shed pollen for a week with peak shed occurring on the second or third day.2 Hot temperatures along with dry weather can hasten pollen shed. Each tassel produces millions of pollen grains providing adequate pollen in most Figure 1. Drought stressed plant during conditions.3 Pollen production may be reduced pollination showing rolled leaves. by continuous hot weather occurring a few days before and during pollination as photosynthesis may not be efficient and carbohydrate production Effects of Heat on Silking can be reduced.4 Severe drought stress, as indicated by rolling Pollen shed from anthers is called dehiscence leaves (Figure 1) and wilting of the corn plant, and occurs when there is a drop in humidity affects pollination primarily by its impact on silk as temperatures begin to rise.4 Typically, pollen elongation. Silks begin elongating from the ovules, shed begins in the early to mid-morning when or potential kernels, of the ear shoot about seven temperatures are not as extreme and a second days before silks are visible outside the husk ‘flush’ of pollen shed sometimes occurs in the later tips.3 The silks from the butt of the ear elongate afternoon with cooler temperatures.

    Proc Indian Natn Sci Acad 83 No. 1 March 2017 pp. 151-174 Printed in India. DOI: 10.16943/ptinsa/2016/v82/48406 Review Article Revisiting the Status of Cultivated Plant Species Agrobiodiversity in India: An Overview ANURUDH K SINGH* 2924, Sector-23, Gurgaon, Haryana, India 122 017 (Received on 14 March 2016; Revised on 20 May 2016; Accepted on 16 June 2016) A revisit to the literature on cultivated plant species agrobiodiversity in India revealed that the floristic diversity is represented by 17,926 species of angiosperm, while Indian agriculture cultivates 811 plant species and harbours more than 900 wild relatives of the cultivated plant species distributed over 10 (+ 1) biogeographic regions of the the country, significantly higher than commonly cited in the literature. Further, it revealed the role of Indian communities in domestication to cultivation of around 215 economically important plant species, and adaption of around 600 exotic crop species. Based on new evidence, several species require inclusion and others deletion, and many need further investigations to resolve the issue on country of their origin. Cultivation of crop species in diverse natural and man-made agroecological systems for centuries has generated a huge amount of genetic diversity in a large number of crop species, maintained by the farmers in the form of landraces or farmer’s varieties, and conserved as collections/accessions in the national agricultural research system.
