Botany (source code)

<Botany> studies <plants>: their structure, <physiology>, <genetics>, <reproduction>, <evolution> and interactions with other <organisms>. A question such as how a <plant> survives drought connects several scales: <guard cells> regulate <water> loss, <xylem> transports <water>, and inherited variation changes performance across environments.
<Botany> combines observations of natural diversity with experiments on defined mechanisms. Comparing <root pressure> with <water> flow during <transpiration>, for example, distinguishes a positive <pressure> generated below from a pulling <force> associated with evaporation above.
