Batrachospermum Occurrence:- (1) Batrachospermum is fresh water alga. (2) It is found in clear, cool, and running streams. (3) Deepwater plants are dark violet or reddish in color. But the shallow-water species are olive green. (4) The intensity of light changes the color of pigments. (5) The thallus is attached to the substratum. Vegetative structure (1) The thallus of an adult plant is soft, thick, filamentous. (2) It is freely branched and gelatinous. (3) The central axis is made up of a single row of large cells. Whorls of branches of limited growth are developed on this axis. (4) These branches are filamentous and dichotomously arranged. (5) The main axis is corticated. It consists of a row of elongated cylindrical cells. (6) It is differentiated into nodes and internodes. (7) There are two types of branches that arise from the nodes: Branches of limited growth Branches of unlimited growth Batra

SEED STRUCTURES:-
Micropyle
Opening through which the pollen tube grows to deliver pollen to the
ovary (ovules).
Plumule
Epicotyl + embryonic leaves
First leaves to emerge during germination.
Hypocotyl
Stem-like the area between radicle and cotyledon.
Radicle
Embryonic root.
First to emerge from the seed during
germination.
Cotyledon
The fleshy part of the seed; food storage for plant embryo until germination.
Hilum
Seed scar; where the seed was attached to the ovary wall.
Seed Coat
Covers and protects the seed during dormancy.
Typical Seed:-

Germination
Dormancy:-
Allows seed to germinate when
conditions are favorable.
How do you know germination has
occurred?
Radicle emerges
Leaves:-
Photosynthesis begins
Cotyledons no longer needed.
Factors that Trigger Germination:-
Water
Oxygen
Temperature
Light
Fire
