Key Difference – Dedifferentiation vs Redifferentiation In plants, differentiation is the process where cells derived from root apical and shoot-apical meristems and cambium differentiate and mature to perform specific functions. Once differentiated, the living plants cells lose the ability of division. However, under certain conditions, this ability of further division can be regained. The […]
Difference Between Cryptogams and Phanerogams
Key Difference – Cryptogams vs Phanerogams In 1883, A.W. Eichler introduced a phylogenetic system of classification for the whole plant kingdom. In this phylogenetic system of classification, the plant kingdom is divided into two sub kingdoms: Cryptogams and Phanerogams. Cryptogams are less evolved seedless plants that reproduce by the production of spores. Phanerogams are […]
Difference Between Anthocyanin and Anthocyanidin
Key Difference – Anthocyanin vs Anthocyanidin Anthocyanin and anthocyanidins are considered to be elements of plant pigments found in higher plants of the plant kingdom. They are found mainly in fruits and flowers but also in leaves, stems, and roots. They belong to the category of bioflavonoids. They share a common structure; the flavylium […]
Difference Between Lignin and Cellulose
Key Difference – Lignin vs Cellulose The plant cell wall is composed of primary and secondary walls. The primary cell wall is composed of multiple layers of cellulose, a glucose polysaccharide. Cellulose is the most common organic compound on earth. 33% out of all plant matter is composed of cellulose. It is a commercially […]
Difference Between Microsporogenesis and Megasporogenesis
Key Difference – Microsporogenesis vs Megasporogenesis The flower is the reproductive structure of angiosperms. It contains male and female reproductive parts within it. Male reproductive part is known as stamen and female reproductive part is known as carpel. Angiosperms produce two types of spores (gametes) named microspores and megaspores. Male spores are known as […]
Difference Between Leucoplast Chloroplast and Chromoplast
Key Difference – Leucoplast Chloroplast vs Chromoplast Plastid is a small organelle found in the plant cell cytoplasm. According to past research, it is believed that plastids are descendants of cyanobacteria which are photosynthetic bacteria. They have entered into eukaryotic plants and algae by forming an endosymbiotic relationship. There are three main types of […]
Difference Between Plant Hormones and Plant Growth Regulators
Key Difference – Plant Hormones vs Plant Growth Regulators Plant growth and development is regulated by different chemicals of plants. They are known as plant growth substances. There are two major categories of plant growth substances named plant hormones and plant growth regulators. Sometimes these two words, plant hormones and plant growth regulators, are […]
Difference Between Vegetative Propagation and Spore Formation
Key Difference – Vegetative Propagation vs Spore Formation Vegetative propagation and spore formation are two types of asexual reproduction in plants. Vegetative propagation is the development or the growth of a new plant from a vegetative part or propagule. Spore formation is a method where new individuals are produced through spores; tiny spherical spores […]
Difference Between Monoecious and Dioecious
Key Difference – Monoecious vs Dioecious The terms monoecious and dioecious are used to explain some reproductive behavior of plants. In some plant species, both types of male and female reproductive organs are present in the same plant; however, in some plants, male reproductive systems, and female reproductive systems are localized in separate individuals. […]
Difference Between Simple and Complex Tissue
The key difference between simple and complex tissue is that a simple tissue has only one type of cells while a complex tissue has several different types of cells. In plants, there are two types of tissues: meristematic tissue and permanent tissue. Meristematic tissues are responsible for forming new tissues by adding cells to the […]
