Recognising salt Salty soil and salty water are fatal to plants. It pushes them out of balance. To avoid this damage, plants have a salt-action plan. They turn on genes that help dealing with too much salt in a plant. They adjust their growth, avoiding the salty ground. But plants need salt as well, inContinue reading “Recognising salt”

Prille communicatie
Prille communicatie Plantencellen kunnen, net zomin als planten, niet van plaats veranderen. Voor het vormen van functionerende organen is goede communicatie tussen cellen een vereiste. Om te vertellen hoe te delen en wat de taak van de cel is. In het beginstadium is deze communicatie het allerbelangrijkst. Tijdens de ontwikkeling van de embryo worden deContinue reading “Prille communicatie”
Early communication
Early communication Like plants, plant cells cannot change their place. For forming functioning organs, good communication is a must. To tell the cell when to divide, and what its job is. This communication is most important at the verry start. During the development of the embryos the growth regions are established. When this does notContinue reading “Early communication”
Flourishing with a little bacterial help
Flourishing with a little bacterial help Bacteria and fungi in the soil unlock mineral sources of nitrogen, sulphate, and iron. Transforming these minerals into a form that plants can uptake. While these microorganisms are always useful, they are essential in arid soils that have accumulated huge mineral quantities. Such as the Atacama Desert. Here largeContinue reading “Flourishing with a little bacterial help”
