From Roots To Fruits: Exploring The Parts Of The Tomato Plant

The Parts Of The Tomato Plant

If you’ve ever wondered about the anatomy of a tomato plant, you’re in the right place.

In this article, we will dive into the various parts of the tomato plant, examining each part’s unique characteristics and functions. From the hidden depths of its roots to the vibrant colors of its fruit, we will explore all parts of the tomato plant, including roots, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, axillary buds, trichomes, and vascular tissues.

Join us on this botanical exploration as we unravel the secrets of the fascinating world of tomato plants.

notes 2

I am gonna do notes for Chapter 3 because I ... skipped it last time. (Chapter 2 was mostly fluff/review).

Soil Science

Soil and Trees

soils are made of inorganic materials such as rocks and sand/silt/clay and also organic matter. they also house microorganisms and other decomposers.

soils vary based on their both their geological makeup as well as what grows/lives in it (ie what adds/processes organic matter)

soils are typically composed of 45% inorganic materials, 50% pore space (can be filled with either air or water), and 5% organic material and organisms.

the soil profile

over time, soils form horizons or layers, due to materials moving through the ground, which together make up the soil profile.

soil profile is comprised of the O, A, E, B, C soil horizons. the O, A, E (and sometimes B) together make up the topsoil. The O layer has the most organic material. The O/A layer is where the majority of roots grow. The E has the least organic material. Sometimes there is no E layer. Next is the B layer, which has much less organic matter, and is the "zone of accumulation," where materials from the upper layers have leached. After B layer is the C layer, which is continually forming off the parent bedrock material.

the most important for plant growth obviously is the upper layers. organic material deposit is very important because it helps retain moisture in addition to creating hospitable environment for microbes. nutrient cycling is when plants drop leaves/plantparts and those are consumed by microorganisms, and then microorganisms die and the plant can access those nutrients again.

soil texture refers to the distribution of makeup of sand, silt, or clay. this determines the water-holding capacity as well as the pore size of the soil, which will affect plant-growing ability.

soil structure and pore space

soil structure is how well a soil can form aggregates. pore space refers to how much space is between these aggregates, or between soil particles. it is within these pores that water or air can be found within soil.

pores are classified either as macropores or micropores. macropores are larger and although can hold more water, can also release water through gravitational forces. micropores are smaller, and retain water through gravitational forces.

bulk density is the density of the soil when it is dried. clay is less dense than sand, for example, because it is much smaller. when it is dried it is like dust. actually i still don't understand how bulk density works

compaction is the reduction of pore space. wet soils have more ability to be compacted.

chemical properties

pH of soil affects ability of plants to take up nutrients.

pH is also related to movement/ability of water to dissolve minerals. high pH sometimes causes essential elements to be insoluble in water.

man i do not understand how pH works. i know it's the amount of hydrogen ions… hydronium ions. but why are some things insoluble in water if more hydronium ions are present… questions to ask melanie (or google)

cation exchange capacity: soil's ability to attract, retain, and exchange cations with roots.

ions can also accumulate to harmful levels. soils with excess ions are called saline soils. the recommended treatment is to leach them out of the root zone using low-salinity water.

sodic soils are when the cation sodium exist at high concentrations

biological properties

the soil food web is made up of all the organisms that live in the soil. the rhizosphere is the activity very close to the roots of the plants - the roots give off exudates when they grow, and the microorganisms eat those, and then other organisms eat the microorganisms, etc.

mycorrhizae are roots that mycorrhizal fungi infect and then live in symbiosis with the plant. the fungi feed on exudates and help the roots absorb more water/elements.

nutrient cycling

soil moisture and plant growth

field capacity is when water saturates the soil and then drains away from the macropores via gravity. the water that remains is called capillary water and is held in the micropores.

when there is water in the soil and yet the plant cannot access it, the water is referred to as "unavailable" and the plant will experience water stress. the point after which they cannot recover is called permanent wilting point.

soils with distinct layers do not drain well, because the water will remain at one level until it is completely saturated, before descending into the next level

urban soils

problems with urban soils include:

low in organic matter; topsoil may have been removed during construction

compaction possibly caused during construction or during everyday use

plants have no access to water due to obstruction by hardscapes or other built structures

not enough soil for roots

structural soils and soil cells: people trying to design growing media for urban setting such that the hardscapes are usable for vehicles or traffic, but soil still has room and pore space for air/water for roots.

amending soils with organic matter or using mulch can help soil structure and water holding capacity, as well as high pH

damn that took mad long ok next time i'll do chapters 4/5/6

Science Camps...learning about plants. No better way to learn about the parts of a plant than to dig one up and label the parts. No worksheet required:) Comparing the plants and the different parts help develop analytical skills.
