ABC Model of Flowering
The ABC model of flowering is a genetic and molecular framework that explains how plants transition from vegetative growth to reproductive development. The model proposes that three groups of genes, referred to as A, B, and C genes, work together to regulate this process. A genes are responsible for initiating the flowering process independently of…

C4 Plants
C4 plants have evolved a unique mechanism for carbon fixation that allows them to efficiently produce glucose in hot and dry environments. This mechanism, known as the C4 pathway, involves the spatial separation of carbon dioxide fixation and the Calvin cycle. The C4 pathway provides several ecological advantages to plants, including increased water use efficiency…
