The shoot system

The shoot system above ground is the most obvious part of the plant. It consists of the leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. The leaves and stems are the most common parts of the plant as they makeup almost the entire exposed portion of the plant.

Leaves

The importance of green leaves is easily overlooked. Besides telling us about the health and nourishment of our crop, green leaves are actually the food factory for the plant. In the green leaf, sugars and starches are made for plant growth and for storage in the roots and the fruits. This is no common task. In fact, the green leaf is the only living thing in the world that can transform the sun's light into food energy! Photosynthesis, the process by which the leaves perform this task, is very complicated and still not completely understood by the experts.

Simply speaking, to make starches and sugars the leaves take in certain elements from the air and combine them with water and nutrients brought up by the roots from the soil. Sunlight is the energy used to perform the task. This process can only take place in the green parts of the plant. When yellow or off-coloured leaves are noticed on the crop, the farmer knows that such plants are not producing food. Off coloured leaves indicate a crisis for plant growth. The farmer should strive to understand and correct the problem.

The stem

The stem's main purpose is transportation. Stems transport nutrients and water from the roots to the leaves and transport sugar and starches from the leaves to the fruits and roots. The farmer must handle and cultivate plants very carefully so that plant stems are not injured. They should receive the same care we give our own veins. That is, life flows through them !

The flower

The flower is usually the most appreciated part of the plant mainly because of its beauty and tasty fruits that often follow. The flower is very important to the plant. It produces the seed for future generations. A complete flower contains the male and female parts that unite and form the seed. The male flower part produces a yellow powder called pollen. The pollen is carried to the female egg by wind or more often by honey bees and other insects. In order to attract bees to carry pollen many flowers have bright colours and sweet smells.

have a nice day to you
