"Hormones are naturally occurring chemicals produced by all plants."
"Plants produce exudates, things that drip out of the root system, by using their photosynthetic energy and nutrients obtained from the soil."
"About 50% of the photosynthetic energy of a plant is used to produce exudates that attract beneficial microbes."
"Plants can change the exudates they produce to obtain specific nutrients they need."
"Microbial symbiosis extends the reach of plant roots into the soil, ensuring access to essential nutrients."
"The plant puts its microbiome into its seed and then when that seed germinates, that's where the microbes come from."
"...the entire back side of the plant is not damaged and this is the side that's actually now bringing the sugars and the juice."
"...most stresses are actually oxidative in nature..."
"...if a plant is resistant to oxidative stress that means it's essentially more stress tolerant..."
"The concentrations of copper and zinc and manganese and boron in pollen and pollen tubes stamen pistols all the reproductive parts of the plant can be as much as sixty to eighty times higher than they are in leaf tissue or in the trunk or branches."
"Small mutations exist in all plants, perpetuating the life of an annual plant beyond its normal lifespan."
"You can't really prove this kind of thing, but our best guess is that fenestrations allow for high winds and light to pass through the plant."
"Now, the plant can actually regulate this flow by increasing or decreasing the size of the stomata."
"Stomata... they form a valve so these cells open and close and that valve is how oxygen comes out of the plant, carbon dioxide goes into the plant."
"Plants are very good at regenerating... they get eaten a lot and so they can regenerate parts."
"Stem cells at the meristems are very powerful, they're very long-lived, they make lots of different cell types."
"Temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and light intensity are the main limiting factors of photosynthesis."
"Chlorophyll is going to absorb that energy."
"Infrared light is not used in photosynthesis, so instead of plants absorbing it, they reflect it all."
"Gutation is more likely to happen in humid conditions versus transpiration which is more likely to happen in dry conditions."
"When it comes to transpiration, that takes place at higher temperatures."
"Gutation happens at colder temperatures."
"When water is evaporated via transpiration, it is pure water."
"In nature, plants have the ability to harvest all the nitrogen they need from the atmosphere."
"Plants functioning as antennas and looking at agriculture and plant function from the perspective of biophysics rather than from the perspective of biochemistry."
"A plant is the only thing that can build soil."
"Alkaloids such as caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine are produced by plants for defense."
"Plants can respond to stimuli in ways similar to humans."
"Directional responses equals tropism."
"The phloem transports glucose from the leaves to storage sites."
"We also resonate with plants and their growth cycles."
"Plants had discovered this way before just through evolution, which again I find very inspirational."
"It's ultimately photosynthesis that we are managing, this process, it is plants breathing in that carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen."
"It also increases the stress resistance of the host to drought, to salinity, to heavy metals, and to root pathogens."
"They are very tuberous, so they have these rhizomes that they'll grow at their roots that store a lot of energy."
"As the chlorophyll drains from the plant, these other colors are always there and present as compounds in the plant."
"This association is highly specific and established through a complex developmental process."
"Plants look green because their main pigment, chlorophyll, absorbs all of the wavelengths except green."
"Cohesion due to hydrogen bonding contributes to the transport of water and nutrients against gravity in plants."
"Plant cells have chloroplasts that are used during the process of photosynthesis."
"There's a lot of interaction between bacteria and fungus and micro and all kinds of other between the rhizosphere and the plant and the nutrient uptake."
"Plants produce 40% more sugars than they actually need to sustain their own plant growth, and that's going into the soil to feed the biology."
"Chlorophyll is crucial to photosynthesis; without chlorophyll, photosynthesis does not take place."
"They tap into the phloem on the plant and pull out the plant juices... just like a diabetic has to pass sugar, these insects are passing the sugar off."
"It's going to benefit a plant to be close to the ground and matted where it's about one to a 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the surrounding ambient temperature."
"Plant cells... have this large central vacuole, chloroplasts, and a cell wall."
"The Palisade mesophyll... are the cells near the top of the leaf that are responsible for light absorption and photosynthesis."
"The movement of water from the roots to the shoots is literally being drawn out of a plant."
"Plants are 90% water, so just like soil, this is a very important topic."
"The white parts of the leaf cannot photosynthesize, so the only parts that are actually absorbing light are the green parts."
"Plants defenses have actually been found to be more complex than what we recently thought."
"I'll explain the physics of light emitting diodes and review the horticultural science about spectrum, photosynthesis, and plant shape."
"Our knowledge of how plants work is continuously advancing."
"Phototropism is the ability of plants especially the organs, the growth chemicals within a plant, which cause it to grow up towards the light."
"Plant growth factors are able to influence cell division, cell elongation, or cell differentiation, which all can control and affect the growth of a plant."
"The mechanism that drives water transport through the xylem is called tension cohesion."
"The cohesion of the water allows that pulling to happen."
"The roots still grow downward in zero gravity."
"Root systems that can go down deeper or extend into new regions more rapidly are going to benefit plants that are living in water or nutrient deficient regions much more than those that aren't."
"Plants don't produce cholesterol."
"The mineral ions enter the plant from the soil by the process called active transport."
"Oxygen is transported in plants through diffusion."
"An international team of scientists led by the University of Cambridge has discovered that the thermometer molecule in plants enables them to develop according to seasonal temperature changes."
