What is Horticulture?
• Horticulture is the art and science of growing vegetable, fruit, medicinal and ornamental plants
• Agronomy covers the food and fiber and energy crops that are grown on large acreages and are usually seed propagated

More terms used to classify plants
• Annuals- completes the life cycle in one season• Biennial – usually takes two years to complete
the life cycle ( carrots, cabbage)• Perennial- usually lives more than 2 years– Woody – trees and shrubs• Deciduous/ evergreen
– Herbaceous• Tender/hardy

Plant Structures
• Flowering plants are divided into to large groups: monocots and dicots
• Monocot means there is one seed leaf ( Cotyledon) in the seed. Dicot means two seed leaves.

Vegetative vs reproductive
• Annual herbaceous plant• Leaves, stems and roots are vegetative but can
be used in asexual reproduction• Flowers, seeds are sexual reproductive parts

Flowers
• Sexual reproduction• Built to attract
pollinators• People can be
considered pollinators
• Can be perfect (complete)
• Unisexual– Plants can be
monoecious or dioecious

Basic plant life cycle
• Dormancy: seeds or buds fail to grow when given good conditions.
• Vegetative: seedling to Juvenile
• Reproductive: when plant is large enough to flower
• Senescence: ripening of seed, and fruit, leaf drop
![Page 32: Basic Horticultural Botany](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020716/568168f5550346895de001c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dormancy
• Hormonal dormancy– Timed by hormones
many temperate plants show this ex. Apple trees
• Environmental dormancy– Cold or dryness keeps seed
from germinating
• Other types in seed dormancy
![Page 33: Basic Horticultural Botany](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020716/568168f5550346895de001c4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Vegetative growth
![Page 34: Basic Horticultural Botany](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020716/568168f5550346895de001c4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• The plant has to reach its mature stage before it can start flowering. In tomatoes this happens in 30+ days after transplant to the garden. In Apple trees it can be 5-7 years
Reproductive Growth
![Page 35: Basic Horticultural Botany](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020716/568168f5550346895de001c4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Primary Metabolism
• Photosynthesis– Sunlight– Chloroplasts in a live
plant– Carbon dioxide– Energy is changed from
light to chemical energy ( sugars)
– Oxygen released– Water is used and
produced
• Respiration– Energy is released from
sugars for plant energy– Oxygen is used– Water is used and
produced– CO2 is produced– Happens in dark and in
light– Occurs in all living cells
( mitochondria)

Transpiration
99 % of the water that enters the plant is used in Transpiration, 1% in metabolism

Plant growth Regulators
• Plant hormones or other chemicals that influence growth of plants.–Auxins -Gibberellins–Cytokinins -Abscisic Acid– Ethylene
