Propagation
The reproduction of plants via seeds.
What is sexual propagation in plants?
The type of germination characterized by the cotyledons being pulled up above the soil by the hypocotyl.
What is epigeal germination/emergence?
One method of pollination.
What is by insects, wind or other animal pollinators?
Father of Botany wrote books on topics including taxonomy, propagation, horticulture, viticulture and more.
Who is Theophrastus?
The definition of horticulture
What is the culture of plants for food, comfort and beauty?
Two disadvantages of direct seeding.
What is small seeds are difficult to plant?
What is risk of poor stand?
What is success is depend on many factors?
Such as:
The type of root characterized by an "X" in the center, where the "X" cells are xylem and the cells arranged around the "X" are phloem.
What is a dicot root?
One method by which non-flowering plants reproduce?
What is by spores or by seeds in cones?
A man most famous for creating the binomial system, a way of naming plants and animals that we still use today.
Who is Carl Linnaeus?
The movement of a plant in response to touch
What is Thigmotropism?
The reason why we asexually propagate a lot of fruit and ornamental plants.
What is heterozygous parent plants are not true to type, meaning that they will produce seed that is genetically different from the parent?
The difference between heartwood and sapwood.
What is heartwood is the older, non-living, inner part of the tree that provides structural support, while sapwood is the younger, living outer layer that transports water and nutrients?
The three parts of the pistil.
What are the stigma, style and ovary?
One of the first civilizations to create grand exotic gardens.
Who were the Egyptians?
Where the dark reactions (The Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis occur in a chloroplast.
What is in the stroma?
The difference between grafting and budding.
What is grafting involves joining a scion with a rootstock, while budding uses a single bud instead of a scion?
Three differences between monocots and dicots.
What are monocots having:
What are dicots having:
The characteristics of a perfect flower.
What is that it includes a pistil and stamen?
The major contributions that the Romans made to horticulture.
What is that they made made improvements to:
The growth of a plant part in the direction of gravity, meaning it grows downwards.
What is positive geotropism (gravitropism)?
The PLS of a seed with 97% purity and 88% germination.
What is 85% PLS?
The names and one example of each of the five kinds of modified stems we learned about in class.

What are:
How the Wardian Case worked.
What is the Wardian Case created a sealed, humid environment that protected plants from the harsh conditions of sea travel and allowed them to thrive by recycling moisture through transpiration and condensation?
How auxin influences plant movement in phototropism and gravitropism.
What is auxin promotes cell elongation on the shaded side in phototropism, causing the plant to bend toward light?
What is auxin has an opposite effect in roots, where auxin directs roots downward when concentrated at the bottom side of the root?
