növényfejldésben

Növényfejlődésben, or plant development, refers to the life cycle processes by which a plant grows and matures from a seed to a fully developed organism. This process encompasses several key stages: germination, where the seed awakens and the embryo begins to grow; vegetative growth, involving the expansion of roots, stems, and leaves to establish the plant's structure; and reproductive development, leading to the formation of flowers, pollination, and seed production. Hormonal signals, such as auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins, regulate these stages, coordinating cell division, elongation, and differentiation. Environmental factors—including light, temperature, water availability, and nutrient levels—also significantly influence plant development, shaping traits like flowering time and growth rate. Understanding plant development is crucial for agriculture, horticulture, and ecology, as it underpins crop improvement, pest management, and conservation efforts.
