1. BOTANY is for Master Gardeners
Dan Culbert, Extension Agent III Environmental Horticulture
UF/IFAS Okeechobee County
Botany is the study of Plant Biology. Botany can be boring if you let it, but it is quite useful and essential to Master Gardeners.
This presentation will give you an overview of some of the botanical concepts and terms as used by horticulturalists. This is boiled down botany and you are encouraged to spend a lot of time doing more in-depth reading and practicing with this stuff so it will help you help others as a Florida Master Gardener.Botany is the study of Plant Biology.

2. What is Botany? And for that matter, what is Horticulture? What do you think?
One of my professors at Rutgers University, Dr. Stormin Norman Childers, ingrained the following working definition of horticulture:
Care to know more? The study of Horticulture seems to have began relatively recently, in the past 200 years. According to a Purdue University lecture on the origins of Horticultural science, Three horticulturists can be considered as the Fathers of Horticultural Science: Thomas Andrew Knight, John Lindley, and Liberty Hyde Bailey. http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/history/lecture30/lec30.htmlWhat do you think?

3. Plant classification(Taxonomy)
There are many methods for identifying or grouping plants for communication
There are lots of systems of classification
Which ones can you think of? What are some of the ways that we group plants into different kinds of groups?
What works for you?
Here's a reference to a botanists list of classifying plants:

Perennial
5. Morphology or appearance Evergreen, deciduous
Woody, herbaceous
Vines, trees, shrubs
Opposite or alternate leaves
Fruit, seed, etc. types
6. Environmental Xerophyte, halophyte, hydrophyte
Hardy, tender

Warm season, cool season
7. Usage Fruit, vegetable, ornamental
8. Common names
Define rose Right. How many different plants do you know of that have rose as part of their common name?
So, are common names a good way to classify plants?Right. How many different plants do you know of that have rose as part of their common name?
So, are common names a good way to classify plants?
9. Scientific nomenclature Kingdom
Animalia
Others
Plantae
Division (several, those with horticultural interest -) Pterodophyta - ferns
Spermatophyta seed bearing plants
Class
Gymnospermae naked seeds
Angiospermae
Subclass
Monocotyledonae (monocots) - 49,000 types
Dicotyledonae (dicots) - 237,000 types
10. Plants without seeds Not all plants have seed. Mosses and ferns and a few other neat kinds of plants produce dust-like spores that allow them to spread.
Some ferns are cultivated as horticultural plants. Others are important native plants. We even have an invasive fern that is a real problem in south Florida the Old World Climbing Fern. http://okeechobee.ifas.ufl.edu/News%20columns/Old%20World%20Climbing%20Fern.htm Not all plants have seed.

11. Seed Plants without Fruit Cycads and Conifers
produce separate male & female cones = dioecious Most plants we know of have seeds within fruit. A few of our plants produce seeds but they are not enclosed in the fleshy things that botanists call fruit.
Cycads can be thought of a s a group of primitive plants that have cones and fern-like fronds.
Pine trees are in a group of plants caned Gymnosperms. The seed are produced on scales in female cones.
Both of these plant groups have separate cones for pollen and ovules- so theyre dioecious.
Hollies are also dioecious, but they are not Gymnosperms.

12. One or Two, and threes or fours/fives A big first step in plant ID is to determine if it is more like a palm or an oak,
i.e., a corn plant or a petunia Plant Identification by the numbers means that you should look at the number of seed leaves and count the number of flower parts to get an idea if this is a monocot or Dicot.
There are lots more different kinds of Dicots, so if its a monocot, you have made the task of plant Id much easier. Plant Identification by the numbers means that you should look at the number of seed leaves and count the number of flower parts to get an idea if this is a monocot or Dicot.

13. Once more - is it a Monocot or Dicot ? Number of cotyledons in seed
Venation pattern
Number of flower parts
Arrangement of vascular bundles
14. Scientific names Order
Family - aceae usual ending
First place you may start in identification
Genus
Species
Authority -
Cultivar - cultivated variety
Variety - botanical variety
Etc.
Good plant lists even from nurseries - list plants Latin names. You dont have to know them, but feel comfortable with them.

15. CULTIVAR = CULTIVATED VARIETY Assemblage of cultivated plants which is clearly distinguished by any characters and which, when reproduced (sexually or asexually) retains its distinguishing characters. - Liberty Hyde Bailey
*Botanical varieties naturally breed true from seed
*Cultivars are asexually cloned or by controlled sexual crossing of breeding lines

16. Tomato Lycopersicon esculentum L. Big Boy Burpee's Big Boy Hybrid is a popular home gardener tomato. It is a hybrid, introduced in 1949.
Lycopersion: Wolf peach, referring to belief that tomatoes were poisonous
esculentus: succulent, delicious, ripe
Also see How Plants Get their Names by LH Bailey, 1933
Heres a website that might help make sense of this Greek stuff: http://www.winternet.com/%7Echuckg/dictionary.html
Many books and websites also have rough translations of botanical names take a look at them.Burpee's Big Boy Hybrid is a popular home gardener tomato. It is a hybrid, introduced in 1949.

17. Even more on scientific nomenclature Most commonly used system of nomenclature
System is not static
As you move down though the sections, plants are more closely related
Based on flower and plant morphology
18. Its all in the Family Being able to identify an unknown plant to its family is a valuable skill
Look at botanical characteristics and see if it reminds you of another plant
Look at references under the name of the family to speed up your search
Once you know the family, there are web-based sites that can help you though the rest of the way.
Here's one from the University of Wisconsin,-Madison http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/courses/systematics/index.html
I like Wikpedia, on the web, which lists about 400 different plant families: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Plantae_by_familyOnce you know the family, there are web-based sites that can help you though the rest of the way.

32. Im Getting Edgy!
33. Leaf Me Alone! And be certain that what you are looking at is a leaf, not a leaflet, or even a sub-leaflet.
At the base of each leaf is a bud!
When you get confused, look at your hand It is Palmate all from one point.
The other kind of bird is featherlike- pinnate which is Feather in Latin!And be certain that what you are looking at is a leaf, not a leaflet, or even a sub-leaflet.

34. Palms are different! Palms only have one bud at the top of the stem
Many palm roots do not have the ability to branch if they are cut The Structure of palms makes the way we manage them in the nursery or landscape different that other kinds of trees.
Top a palms stem, and it is dead.
There is a root disc where whole new palm roots have to form if damaged. The Structure of palms makes the way we manage them in the nursery or landscape different that other kinds of trees.

47. Plants & Their Environment Back in the dark ages, the study of pretty plants was called Ornamental Horticulture.
Horticulturalists realized that in order to grow better plants, they needed to modify the environment in order to make plants do what they wanted them to do.
It's no wonder that the Academic Department that supports the major part of Master Gardeners is call the Department of Environmental Horticulture. Heres a link if you must know more: http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/aboutus/whatis.html
In this next section we will learn a little more about some of the environmental influences that effect plant growth and what we can do about it. Back in the dark ages, the study of pretty plants was called Ornamental Horticulture.

48. Plants and energy (simplified) Photosynthesis
The process of turning light energy into energy that can be transported and stored by the plant
49. Eeek! Chemistry! 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light + chlorophyll =
C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2
Photosynthesis- it means that we get to eat!Photosynthesis- it means that we get to eat!
50. Eeek! Chemistry! 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light + chlorophyll = C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2
C6H12O6 is the general formula for carbohydrates
Sugars can be transported
Starches can be stored
51. More energy stuff Respiration
Breaking the carbohydrates into a form of energy the plant can use
52. And more chemistry C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6 O2 + mitochondria = 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + energy in a useable form
Does anything about this formula look familiar?
53. Whats all this used for, anyway? Plant growth and development
Cell division
Cell elongation
Where does growth occur in plants?
Meristems
54. Plants and the environment Light
Water
Nutrients
Temperature
Air
55. Light Color
Why dont plants grow well in green light?
Intensity
Shade plants and full sun plant
Duration
Total amount in a day
Photoperiod and flowering Plants have developed a lot of secondary responses to light that cause them to have different colors, become adapted to different kinds of shad conditions, and tell them when to grow leaves or flowers.Plants have developed a lot of secondary responses to light that cause them to have different colors, become adapted to different kinds of shad conditions, and tell them when to grow leaves or flowers.
56. Water 90% of the plant is water
Water is a carrier for nutrients
Water is essential in chemical reactions like? Water management is called irrigation another whole classWater management is called irrigation another whole class
57. Nutrients Required for growth
Environmental elements:
C, H, O
Macro
N, P, K, S, Mg, Ca
Micro
Mn, Mo, Zn, Bo, Fe, Cu, Cl Remember this from last week?
The point here is that changing the level of nutrients can change the rates of growth of plantsRemember this from last week?
The point here is that changing the level of nutrients can change the rates of growth of plants
58. Temperature Heat and cold effect the rate of chemical reactions and therefore, plant growth.
Effective Plant growth stops above 84 degrees F. the basis for the AHS Heat Zone map: http://www.ahs.org/publications/heat_zone_map.htm
And cold temperatures cause water to turn solid, so plant growth stops at the other end of the thermometer. Effective Plant growth stops above 84 degrees F. the basis for the AHS Heat Zone map: http://www.ahs.org/publications/heat_zone_map.htm

59. Air Source of some nutrients
Gases for chemical reaction
Even some plant hormones are gases
These fruit create Ethylene Gas: apples, apricots, avocados, ripening bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, citrus fruit (not grapefruit), cranberries, figs, guavas, grapes, green onions, honeydew, ripe kiwi fruit, mangoes, melons, mushrooms, nectarines, okra, papayas, passion fruit, peaches, pears, peppers, persimmons, pineapple, plantains, plums, prunes, quinces, tomatoes and watermelon.
These Become Damaged by Ethylene Gas: asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chard, cucumbers, cut flowers, eggplant, endive, escarole, florist greens, green beans, kale, kiwi fruit, leafy greens, lettuce, parsley, peas, peppers, potatoes, potted plants, romaine lettuce spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, watercress and yams.
