The root is the descending part of the plant axis which lies inside the soil. The root typically does not contain chlorophyll and therefore it is non green. It bears lateral branches and a protective cap at the apex. Root doesn’t have nodal divisions; however it is divided into five main areas on the basis […]

A recent development in cell biology has allowed the fusion of different cells to form a “hybrid’ cell, which expresses the properties of both parental cell lines. The fusing agent can be a defective virus (Sendai virus that characteristically causes cell fusion) or various chemicals (such as polythene glycol. And this gives rise to cells […]
