	Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plants are distinguished from green algae, which represent a mode of photosynthetic life similar to the kind modern plants are believed to have evolved from, by having specialized reproductive organs protected by non-reproductive tissues.
		Early seed plants are referred to as gymnosperms (naked seeds), as the seed embryo is not enclosed in a protective structure at pollination, with the pollen landing directly on the embryo.
		Plants are the basis of a multi-billion dollar per year tourism industry which includes travel to arboretums, botanical gardens, historic gardens, national parks, tulip festivals, rainforests, forests with colorful autumn leaves and the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

		In monocotyledonous plants, the xylem and phloem cells are arranged in a circle around a pith or center, whereas in dicotyledons, the xylem cells form a central "hub" with lobes, and phloem cells fill in the spaces between the lobes.
		In some plants (such as ivy), the "root" actually clings to walls and structures; this is known as thigmotropism, or response to touch.
		In woody plants, the vascular cambium, originating between the xylem and the phloem, forms a cylinder of tissue along the stem and root.

		Plants are a part of that categorization effort and whether defining "plant" narrowly or broadly, we must include some reference to the classification system in any scholarly effort to gain or give information about them.
		The angiosperms are the last major group of plants to appear, emerging during the Jurassic, with a major radiation in the Cretaceous that resulted in their becoming the predominant land plants in most biomes.
		Many deciduous plants, usually found in temperate and boreal climates, lose their leaves in the winter months, and some tropical and subtropical plants lose their leaves during the dry season.

		Plant hybrids, especially, are often stronger than either parent variety, a phenomenon which when present is known as hybrid vigour (heterosis) or heterozygote advantage.
		Plant species hybridize a lot more readily than animal species and they are generally fertile.
		Plant hybrids are often created to get different characteristics from both parents and to improve production of seeds or fruit such as to make a plant hardier or more disease resistant.

		Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae) used for food or feed.
		Bean originally meant the seed of the broad bean, but was later broadened to include members of the genus Phaseolus such as the common bean or haricot and the runner bean and the related genus Vigna.
		The term is now applied in a general way to many other related plants such as soybeans, peas, lentils, vetches and lupins.

		Image:Beli-hibiskus.jpgAs with other life forms in biology, plant life can be studied from different perspectives, from the molecular, genetic and biochemical level through organelles, cells, tissues, organs, individuals, plant populations, and communities of plants.
		Not all plants are beneficial to humans, weeds are a considerable problem in agriculture and botany provides some of the basic science in order to understand how to minimise their impact.
		Plants are convenient organisms in which fundamental life processes (like cell division and protein synthesis for example) can be studied, without the ethical dilemmas of studying animals or humans.

		Taro (from Tahitian), more rarely kalo (from Hawaiian), is a tropical plant grown primarily as a root vegetable for its edible corm, and secondarily as a leaf vegetable.
		The plant is actually inedible if ingested raw because of raphides in the plant cells.
		Some of the taro plants in the foreground have been harvested and the caretakers are preparing to replant the huli stacked at their feet.

		The two major functions of roots are absorption and supply of water and inorganic nutrients to the plant, and its anchoring in the ground.
		In monocotyledons, the xylem and phloem cells are located in a circle around the pith, or center of a monocot root's stele, whereas in dicotyledons, the xylem cells form a central "hub" with lobes, and the phloem cells fill in the space between the lobes.

		Plants are a major group of living things (about 300,000 species), including familiar organisms such as trees, flowers,herbs, and ferns.
		Indeed, any attempt to match "plant" with a single taxon is doomed to fail,because plant is a vaguely defined concept unrelated to the presumed phylogenic concepts on which modern taxonomy is based.

	Bananas Resource Page - bananna
		A banana plant is a herb in the genus Musa, which because of its size and structure, is often mistaken bannana joes for a tree.
		The plant is allowed to produce 2 shoots at a time—a larger one for fruiting immediately and a smaller 'sucker' banna split or 'follower' that will produce fruit in 6–8 months time.
		The two standard ways to plant bananas are to either transplant part of the root (called a “corm”) bananna nut bread or to transplant suckers (shoots that develop at the bases of the banana plant).

		For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape.
		For example, the two subclasses of flowering plants may be distinguished by the number of floral organs in each whorl: dicotyledons typically having 4 or 5 organs (or a multiple of 4 or 5) in each whorl and monocotyledons having three or some multiple of three.
		Unisexual male and female flowers on the same plant may not appear at the same time, or pollen from the same plant may be incapable of fertilizing its ovules.
