Rosette (botany) Rosette (botany) In botany, a rosette is a circular arrangement of leaves or of structures resembling leaves. In flowering plants, rosettes usually sit near the soil, their structure is an example of a modified stem in which the internode gaps between the leaves do not expand, so that all the leaves remain clustered tightly together and at a similar height. In bryophytes and algae, a rosette results from the repeated branching of the thallus as the plant grows, resulting in a circular outline. Many plant families have varieties with rosette morphology; they are particularly common in Asteraceae (such as dandelions),
Plant physiology plants in a water solution rather than soil, which has become a standard technique in biological research, teaching lab exercises, crop production and as a hobby. One of the leading journals in the field is "Plant Physiology", started in 1926. All its back issues are available online for free. Many other journals often carry plant physiology articles, including "Physiologia Plantarum", "Journal of Experimental Botany", "American Journal of Botany", "Annals of Botany", "Journal of Plant Nutrition" and "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." In horticulture and agriculture along with food science, plant physiology is an important topic relating to fruits,
