Plant Morphology
Plant morphology is the study of the physical form and structure of plants. It encompasses the observation, description, and analysis of the external and internal features of plants, from their overall shape to the intricate details of their leaves, stems, flowers, and roots. Understanding plant morphology is crucial for a wide range of disciplines, including […]
Plant Traits
What are the plant traits? Plant traits are observable and measurable characteristics of plants that reflect their functionality, ecological strategies, and interactions with the environment. These traits can be categorized into three primary domains: morphological traits (e.g., leaf size, root length), physiological traits (e.g., photosynthesis rate, water-use efficiency), and phenological traits (e.g., flowering time, fruiting […]

Salinity Stress in Plants
Abiotic stress in plants refers to the adverse effects caused by non-living environmental factors on their growth, development, and overall well-being. Unlike biotic stresses that arise from living organisms like pests and diseases, abiotic stresses result from various physical and chemical factors present in the plant’s surroundings. These stresses can severely impact plant health, productivity, […]
