Then you’ll explore some of the plant parts that you eat, so you can start thinking about the plants that are all around us and how we use them in our daily lives.

The below-ground organ of the Raphinus sativa (radish) is not a root or shoot, but the continued growth of the hypocotyl — the part of the embryo arising from the cotyledonary node (where the cotyledons attach to the beginning of the root), and evident when a seed germinates.

The ability of a plant cell or tissue to detect a hormone that depends on a cell’s physiology at the time the hormone is present. The stalk of a flower that is situated between the peduncle and the pedicel on a compound leaf. The process in which the perception of a signal, such as a hormone, is moved within a cell, cell to cell, or throughout a tissue.

If you continue to grow out the seed and select the best plants for a few more years, you will end up with a stable variety of your own.

Common names have their place, but they can be ambiguous. Binomial nomenclature is more precise; its use ensures that you’ll get the correct plant and the correct information on how to grow and propagate it. The second section in this chapter addresses seed germination, arguably the most common and important method of propagating plants.

There is, for example, a large and very old male buckthorn tree (a dioecious plant) at the corner of Cleveland Avenue North and Buford Avenue on “The Lawn” of the St.

CAM plants (right) conduct the C 4 pathway at night and the Calvin cycle (C 3 pathway) during the day, resulting an a temporal separation of the two.
