The development of the seed plant sporophyte can be broken down into three major stages (Figure 17.2): embryogenesis, vegetative development, and reproductive development. (...) An essential feature of this basic architecture is the presence of apical meristems at the tips of the root and shoot axes (see Figure 17.2), which are key to sustaining indeterminate patterns of vegetative growth.

A widely studied lab plant has revealed a previously unknown organ | Science News
A cantilever-like plant part long evaded researchers’ notice in widely studied Arabidopsis thaliana, grown in hundreds of labs worldwide.
A common lab plant that’s been poked and put under microscopes for decades may seem unlikely to keep secrets. But in widely studied Arabidopsis thaliana, scientists have identified the “cantil” — a newly reported plant organ named for its cantilever-like way of branching off of the main stem. The structure appears in only some A. thaliana and only under certain conditions, researchers report online June 15 in Development.
“If you told me of a new organ in a weird plant in Amazonia, I wouldn’t be surprised at all,” says François Parcy, a plant biologist at CNRS in Paris, who was not involved in the study. “What struck me is this happened in Arabidopsis. This is something that’s really surprising.”
Molecular biologist Timothy Gookin first suspected contamination or a mutation when he noticed some A. thaliana with odd stalks jutting out from the stem, like half-finished bridges. It took 12 years of experiments at Penn State to show that the rare stalks are a new type of plant part and to explain their trigger: delayed flowering.
Like many other plants, short days prompt A. thaliana, which is in the same family as cabbage and mustard greens, to shore up resources; long days tell it to churn out flowers. Cantils form when that transition from stockpiling to blooming is postponed, as the plant keeps growing while waiting for the flowering signal,

MOISTURE AND GYPSUM EFFECTS ON PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND POD-FILL OF GROUNDNUTS (Arachis hypoqaea L.)
Abstract:
In seeking a solution to the problem of ‘blindnuts’ often reported in parts of the Sudan ecological zone of Nigeria, investigations were carried out for two seasons at Ladanawa (12°32’N; 07°38’E) backed by one season of observation at Samaru (Northern Guinea savanna, 11 ll’N; 07°38’E) to…

3 Significant Ways How Plant Development Affects the Economy
Agriculture has always been considered significant in terms of environmental and social feasibility with its aims towards cultural upgradation. However, agriculture is not a secular part of the environment as plant development and growth are equally responsible, for it to be successful in the overall outcome. Plant growth is also vital for the aesthetic growth of the ecosystem. Often considered as the substitute for crop growth or development in scientific terms, plant growth becomes the sole earning method for the farmers across the globe.
The plant Nurseries in the UK with its skilled trainers are all familiar to the various stages involved in the development of plants. Each stage needs to be managed with precaution for the plant to grow and mature for which special gardening advice are provided by many plant specialists if you are keen on growing exotic breeds at home. Below written are certain ways how plant development or growth affects the economy:
