Fall 2011
SOME HELPFUL LINKS VIEWED IN CLASS:
Great Physiology Website - We'll reference this a lot throughout the semester.
Plant reproductive structures - good images of flowers, fruits, cones.
Seed structure - structuress of a seed and developing seedling.
Plasmodesmata - also shows adjacent cells with middle lamella
Stem and Root anatomy - lots of helpful images all the way through this page.
Photosynthesis: Step by step - just what it says it is.
Photorespiration - the three structures involved in the process.
Photorespiration 2 - just one more representation of the process.
Nutrient deficiency symptoms - just "accept" the terms and enter!
Deficiency symptom images - scroll down to photos and symptom descriptions.
Nutrient Sufficiency Ranges - note that macronutrient concentrations are in %'s and micronutrient concentrations are in ppm.
Nutrient Deficiency Decision Key - pretty fun. Try it with your own plants sometime.
