	Welcome to the PLANTS Database \| USDA PLANTS
		The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories.
		Automated plant keys for selected U.S. plant groups are available for use and testing on-line or by downloading the application.
		We are modernizing PLANTS to fit the new USDA Web standard, which is part of a broader USDA initiative called Web Site Development and Maintenance.

	Patents Guidance, Tools & Manuals
		A plant patent is granted by the Government to an inventor (or the inventor's heirs or assigns) who has invented or discovered and asexually reproduced a distinct and new variety of plant, other than a tuber propagated plant or a plant found in an uncultivated state.
		That the plant is not a plant which is excluded by statute, where the part of the plant used for asexual reproduction is not a tuber food part, as with potato or Jerusalem artichoke.
		The inventor of a plant must have discovered or identified the novel plant, and must have asexually reproduced the plant and observed the clones so produced for a sufficient amount of time to have concluded that the clones are identical to the parent plant in all characteristics.

	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.
		Coal and petroleum are fossil fuels derived from plants.

	plant. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Plants are generally distinguished from animals in that they possess chlorophyll, are usually fixed in one place, have no nervous system or sensory organs and hence respond slowly to stimuli, and have rigid supporting cell walls containing cellulose.
		All the plants of a fourth subdivision, the Rhyniophyta, are extinct.
		Green plants, i.e., those possessing chlorophyll, manufacture their own food and give off oxygen in the process called photosynthesis, in which water and carbon dioxide are combined by the energy of light.

	Plant - definition from Biology-Online.org
		plants are divided by their structure and methods of reproduction into two series, phaenogamous or flowering plants, which have true flowers and seeds, and cryptogamous or flowerless plants, which have no flowers, and reproduce by minute one-celled spores.
		Self-supporting plants always contain chlorophyll, and subsist on air and moisture and the matter dissolved in moisture, and as a general rule they excrete oxygen, and use the carbonic acid to combine with water and form the material for their tissues.
		The movements of climbing plants, of some insectivorous plants, of leaves, stamens, or pistils in certain plants, and the ciliary motion of zoospores, etc, may be considered a kind of voluntary motion.

	Plant Patents
		With reference to tuber-propagated plants, for which a plant patent cannot be obtained, the term "tuber" is used in its narrow horticultural sense as meaning a short, thickened portion of an underground branch.
		The application papers for a plant patent and any responsive papers pursuant to the prosecution must be filed in duplicate but only one need be signed (in the case of the application papers the original should be signed); the second copy may be a legible copy of the original.
		Where the plant variety originated as a newly found seedling, the specification must fully describe the conditions (cultivation, environment, etc.) under which the seedling was found growing to establish that it was not found in an uncultivated state.

	Planting and Maintaining Trees and Shrubs - Landscape Nursery and Urban Forestry - UMass Extension
		When considering the planting and maintenance of woody plants, many of the established cultural guidelines practiced by landscape professionals have undergone closer scrutiny in recent years.
		In some cases, the trunk flare junction may be buried in the top of the rootball and it may be necessary to loosen the burlap at the top of the ball to properly locate the junction.
		According to research, backfilling with soil dug from the planting hole is preferable to mixing the soil with large amounts of organic soil amendments such as peat moss, compost, etc. The addition of an organic soil amendment may be called for if the existing soil is of poor quality, ie.

	Molecular Expressions Cell Biology: Plant Cell Structure
		Plants are unique among the eukaryotes, organisms whose cells have membrane-enclosed nuclei and organelles, because they can manufacture their own food.
		In higher plants, the diploid generation, the members of which are known as sporophytes due to their ability to produce spores, is usually dominant and more recognizable than the haploid gametophyte generation.
		Plants do, however, usually require significant amounts of water, which is needed for the photosynthetic process, to maintain cell structure and facilitate growth, and as a means of bringing nutrients to plant cells.

		She planted the notion in my head that we should move.
		There did exist a Latin noun planta that meant "shoot, cutting," of uncertain origin, but the meaning of the English noun plant is not found.

	Climate change and plant conservation
		Several plant species are already adjusting to local warming by shifting their ranges toward the poles or higher elevations.
		Many plant species are also responding to climate change by advancing the onset of leaf burst, flowering, and fruiting, and delaying leaf drop.
		A critical first step to conserving plant species that are threatened by climate change is to implement local monitoring programs that measure how plants are responding to climate change.
