Chatshaala discussions:
Following summary written by @shalinisharma98 .

ChatShaala Discussion (06-01-2024)

Discussion has been strated with a cardamine (which is one of favourite model system for CUBISTS).

Why any organism is considered as model system? Is that they possess some specific characteristics?

What a non-cubist will do if they get a chance to visit other state (like Delhi)? I guess, most probably we will go and visit some places that are famous there or meet some of the friends.

But the speciality of CUBISTS is that wherever they will go, despite of their busy schedule they will take out some time to look for their favourite model organism, like what theertha has done and searched Phyllanthus (from JNU campus) and Cardamine from Delhi’s famous spot (Habitat centre near Dyal Singh College and Lodi Garden) and taken them to kerala, even some of lucky cardamine plants also got a chance to travel to another state (kerala) with cubist like theertha.

Then we discussed about seed germination.

What actually happens during seed germination?

How one seed give rise to whole plant?

How that radicle and plumule give rise to root and shoot system respectively?

What is meristematic cells? Do they play any important role in plant? @⁨~Charvi⁩ @⁨Theertha⁩ @⁨Sakshi⁩ @⁨~Shubham U.V Tanpathak⁩ and others.

Here, we understood which part is actually referred to as epicotyl and hypocotyl.

Let’s celebrate the goof-ups and learn from your mistakes

Cardamine plant that has been brought from lodhi road near Dyal Singh college, to Noida, Uttar Pradesh on 30th December 2024 is showing wilting, what could be the reason of it? I’m watering it on the alternate days because of winter (temperature:- 14°/6° max/min), water is not drying up much.

On the other hand @⁨Theertha⁩ has also brought cardamine plant from the same location to kerala and they are growing fine. Do share your inspiring story with some photographs.

How should I improve upk taking care of this cardamine plant, so that I won’t loose it? Please share your views. @⁨Theertha⁩ @⁨~Dhanraj⁩ @⁨Sakshi⁩ @⁨Chithra Mam⁩ ma’am @⁨Amirtha CUBE⁩ @⁨Nidhidevdas CUBE⁩ @⁨Tiku Kashyap⁩ and others.

How does water transported from roots to other parts of the plant?

How do we know which is simple and compund leaf?

Why compund leaf is splitted into many leaflets? Is there any specific reason for it?

Do we know the pattern of leaf in cardamine based on its emergence? As per my understanding, the compund leaves that are emerging first, they are having less number of leaflets while the leaves that are emerging later they possess more leaflets compared to early emerged leaves, What could be reason behind it?
