Transportation in Plants
Transportation in plants is a vital process that ensures the distribution of water, nutrients, and organic compounds throughout the plant’s various parts. Through transpiration, water is absorbed by the roots and transported upwards through the xylem vessels, driven by a combination of factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed. Meanwhile, translocation facilitates the movement…

Photorespiration
Photorespiration is a complex process that takes place in plants when the concentration of CO2 inside the leaves decreases. This process reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis and ultimately leads to decreased plant growth and yield. In this chapter, we provide an in-depth overview of photorespiration, its biochemistry, regulation, and its impact on plant growth and…

Light Signaling in Plants
The article discusses the importance of light signaling in plants and its role in regulating various physiological and developmental processes. It covers topics such as phototropism, photomorphogenesis, photoperiodism, and the light-dependent and independent reactions of photosynthesis. The article provides a brief overview of each topic, explaining their significance in plant growth and survival.
