Unit -1 (Part – 1 ) Fundamentals of plant biochemistry and biochemistry Content :- Introduction Historical aspects of Biochemistry Scope, impact and importance of Biochemistry in plant sciences Properties of water , PH and Buffers ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Biochemistry :- The branch of science of which deals with the all study of all life process such as control and coordination within living organism is called Biochemistry. Neuberg introduced the termed the Biochemistry in 1903. This field include the biology as well as the chemistry to study the chemical structure of living organisms. It mainly deals with study of structural and function of biomolecules such as Carbohydrates , Lipids , proteins, amino acids . hence it is also called molecular biology. Importance of Biochemistry :- The chemical process which particular diet transform into compounds...
Weather Harvesting and irrigation developments during different periods – water storage – distribution and relevance to modern agriculture. The need for continuous supply of water for irrigation whether from canal, well, pond or lake is realized as the most important for agriculture in ancient period. The different irrigation principles adopted in ancient period are : Construction of large mud embankment on a stone foundation for diverting flood water. Bulding of small tanks. Severe penalty was imposed when water is let out other than sluice gate. Extensive tank irrigation systems were adopted in Sri Lanka and later in South India. Methods of conserving rain water In ancient days itself, people, especially Indians, know the methods of conservation of rain water. The various methods of rainwater harvesting are classified below under two category, Traditional and Modern methods. Traditional rainwater h...
Join our Telegram Group:- GroveStudies PLANT KINGDOM In the biological classification we looked at the broad classification of living organisms under the system proposed by Whittaker 1969. Which suggested the five kingdom. • algae ,bryophytes, pteridophytes ,gymnosperms and angiosperms under plantae . ✓ gross superficial morphological based mananiy on vegetative characters on the the roecium structure system given by Linnaeus such system are artificial. ✓ artificial system are gave equal weightages to vegetative and sexual characteristics this is not capable since we know that often the vegetative characters are more easily affected by environments. ✓ external features but also internal features like ultra structure anatomy embryology and phytochemistry such as classification for flowering plants was given by George Bentham and Joseph delton hooker. ✓ phylogenetic classification system based on evol...
