Plants have various morphological and physiological adaptations that allow them to survive in different environmental conditions. Morphological adaptations include modified organs like pneumatophores and storage roots. Physiological adaptations include closing stomata to conserve water, increasing proline and ABA to regulate water retention and stomatal closure during drought, and increasing heat shock proteins and calorific respiration to cope with temperature stresses and attract pollinators respectively. These adaptations enable plants to adapt to their environments.

under a wide range of environmental conditions 1. Morphological adaptations Examples: -presence of metamorphosed or specialized organs which perform non-typical functions e.g. Pneumatophores or modified roots of certain trees growing in marshes - modified petiole of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) which serves as floaters Storage roots of radish and carrot Examples:
-closing of stomates of desert plants during the
day to conserve water e.g. Bromeliads and cactus Scotch elm or Wych elm A deciduous plant or tree is one that loses all of its leaves for at least a part of each year. Some deciduous plants or trees shed their leaves prior to cold winters, others shed before dry seasons or other seasonal event, such as heavy rainfall, in some locations. There are two types of deciduous forests, each of which has its own distinct biome (or ecosystem) of specific and specialized plant and other life. o. * The Temperate deciduous forests, where the plants cycle in response to temperatures extremes, are found primarily in Asia, Europe and America. * The Tropical or Semi-Tropical deciduous forests, where the plants cycle in response to rainfall or drought conditions, are found primarily in South America and Africa.
A few deciduous tree examples are Birch, Oak,
Maple, Willow, Hickory, Apple, Pear, and Plum. A few deciduous plant examples are Ivy, Fern, Rose, Blueberry, and Azalea Aerenchyma is an air channel in the roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. The channel of large air-filled cavities provides a low- resistance internal pathway for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and ethylene between the plant above the water and the submerged tissues. Aerenchyma form in roots subject to anoxia such as occurs during flooding of plants and soil.[ - Increase in the amino acid proline and ABA in plants during periods of moisture stress to regulate increased water-holding capacity of tissues for moisture and stomatal closure to conserve water - Increase in heat shock proteins when plants are subjected to sudden and transient sub- or supra optimal temperatures to help plants detoxify ammonia concentrations in their tissues -increase in calorific respiration in aroids to help volatilize certain essential oils to attract pollinators at the time of anthesis
