Botany Study Material – Part 1 for TNPSC and RRB Exams

This study material covers essential topics in botany that are frequently asked in TNPSC (Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission) and RRB (Railway Recruitment Board) exams. The topics are broken down into concise explanations, key points, and some important questions to help you in your preparation.

1. Introduction to Botany

  • Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, and classification.

Key Areas in Botany:

  • Plant Anatomy: Study of internal structure of plants.

  • Plant Physiology: Study of the functions of plants, such as photosynthesis and respiration.

  • Plant Taxonomy: Classification and naming of plants.

  • Plant Ecology: Interaction of plants with their environment.

2. Classification of Plants

Major Classification:

  1. Kingdom Plantae: All plants belong to this kingdom.

  2. Division (Phylum): This is the first level of classification in plants.

    • Examples: Angiosperms (flowering plants), Gymnosperms (non-flowering plants), Pteridophytes (ferns), etc.

  3. Class: The further subdivision of division. For example, in angiosperms, there are two classes:

    • Dicotyledons (2 seed leaves)

    • Monocotyledons (1 seed leaf)

Plant Divisions:

  • Bryophytes: Non-vascular plants like mosses and liverworts.

  • Pteridophytes: Vascular plants without seeds, e.g., ferns.

  • Gymnosperms: Seed-producing plants like conifers (e.g., pine, fir).

  • Angiosperms: Flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit.

3. Parts of a Plant

  • Roots: Anchor the plant, absorb water and nutrients.

  • Stem: Supports the plant and transports water, nutrients, and sugars.

  • Leaves: The primary site of photosynthesis in the plant.

  • Flowers: The reproductive organ of flowering plants.

  • Fruits: Developed from the flower and contain seeds.

4. Photosynthesis

  • Definition: The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.

  • Chemical Equation:

    6CO2+6H2O→lightC6H12O6+6O26CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{light} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
  • Chlorophyll: The green pigment in plants that captures light energy.

  • Sites of Photosynthesis: Occurs mainly in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

5. Plant Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction:

  • Involves a single parent and results in offspring identical to the parent.

  • Common in plants like bryophytes and pteridophytes.

Sexual Reproduction:

  • Involves the fusion of male and female gametes.

  • Flowers are the reproductive organs in angiosperms.

    • Male part: Stamen (Anther + Filament)

    • Female part: Pistil (Stigma + Style + Ovary)

6. Plant Hormones (Phytohormones)

  1. Auxins: Promote stem elongation and root growth.

  2. Gibberellins: Stimulate growth, particularly in stems and fruits.

  3. Cytokinins: Promote cell division.

  4. Abscisic Acid (ABA): Involved in stress responses and inhibition of growth.

  5. Ethylene: Responsible for fruit ripening and flower wilting.

7. Plant Diseases and Their Control

  • Fungal Diseases: E.g., Rust, Smut, and Mildew.

  • Bacterial Diseases: E.g., Bacterial blight in rice.

  • Viral Diseases: E.g., Tobacco mosaic virus.

  • Control Measures:

    • Use of fungicides, bactericides, and insecticides.

    • Crop rotation and resistant varieties.

    • Biological control (e.g., using beneficial organisms).

8. Important Plant Families

  1. Leguminosae (Pea family): Examples include peas, beans, and groundnut.

  2. Solanaceae (Nightshade family): Includes tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants.

  3. Liliaceae (Lily family): Includes onions, garlic, and lilies.

  4. Asteraceae (Daisy family): Includes sunflowers and daisies.

9. Ecology of Plants

  • Ecosystem: A community of organisms interacting with each other and their environment.

  • Producers: Green plants that produce food through photosynthesis.

  • Consumers: Organisms that feed on producers or other consumers.

  • Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead organic material.

10. Important Terms in Botany

  • Chloroplast: The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

  • Xylem: Tissue responsible for water and nutrient transport in plants.

  • Phloem: Tissue responsible for transporting sugars and other metabolic products.

    • b) Absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis

    • c) Transmitting nutrients

    • d) Protecting the plant from pests

    • Answer: b) Absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis

  3. Which plant hormone is responsible for fruit ripening?

    • a) Cytokinins
