MeSH

Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE.

A naturally occurring reproductive phenomenon of FLOWERING PLANTS where self-incompatibility arises due to differences between NUCLEUS, CYTOPLASM, MITOCHONDRIA, or CHLOROPLASTS that occur in gamete cells from separate sources when they are brought together by cross-hybridization or in vitro manipulation.

An organism of the vegetable kingdom suitable by nature for use as a food, especially by human beings. Not all parts of any given plant are edible but all parts of edible plants have been known to figure as raw or cooked food: leaves, roots, tubers, stems, seeds, buds, fruits, and flowers. The most commonly edible parts of plants are FRUIT, usually sweet, fleshy, and succulent. Most edible plants are commonly cultivated for their nutritional value and are referred to as VEGETABLES.

A plant genus in the family FABACEAE which is the source of edible beans and the lectin PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS.

Year introduced: 2002

Plants that host ANTS by providing shelter in specialized nesting structures or domatia (e.g., Beltian or Mullerian bodies) and sometimes provide food (e.g., food and pearl bodies; and EXTRAFLORAL NECTARS). Ant colony in turn provides the host plant with defense against encroaching foliage, nutrients via waste by-product and help with SEED DISPERSAL.

Year introduced: 2024

A plant genus of the family FABACEAE that is used for food in NIGERIA.

Year introduced: 2003

A plant genus of the family VITACEAE. Members contain momordin and SITOSTEROLS.

Year introduced: 2003

Places provided for the processing, fabrication, assembly, and production of a line of products, services, commodities, or merchandise.

Year introduced: 2017

Year introduced: 2003

A plant genus of the family Lamiaceae that is the source of familiar seasonings, oregano and marjoram.

Year introduced: 2003

A species in the family EUPHORBIACEAE that is the source of CASTOR OIL.

Year introduced: 1991(1975)

The failure of PLANTS to complete fertilization and obtain seed (SEEDS) as a result of defective POLLEN or ovules, or other aberrations. (Dict. of Plant Genet. and Mol. Biol., 1998)

Year introduced: 2006
