### plant:

Corn plant
* Every corn plant has both male and female parts.
* Most corn plants have female flowers
  - single stems
* Most corn plants produce dry matter
  - reach maturity
  - use food
* Some corn plants follow patterns
  - produce ears
* are most susceptible around silking
  - susceptible at all stages of development, from seedling stage to near maturity
* contain both male and female flowers in different locations on the plant.
  - tassels at the top of the plant which produce pollen
  - tops
* may have kernels.
* produce a female flower, the silks, and a male flower, the tassel
* take up the greatest amount of nitrates from the soil during pollination.
  - the food they photosynthesize to grow and produce corn

Cotton plant
* are perennials grown as annuals in the southern half of the United States.
* grow, and the cotton is harvested from the plants.

Cranberry plant
* are found in acidic bogs in cooler areas of the northern hemisphere
  - shallow rooted and desiccate easily
* grow as small, trailing evergreen shrubs.
  * are found in acidic bogs in cooler areas of the northern hemisphere. They are low creeping shrubs up to seven feet long, between two to eight inches high. They have slender and wiry stems with small leaves which are evergreen with dark pink flowers.

### plant:

Crop plant
* Many crop plants involve polyploidy in their formation.
* Most crop plants depend on animal pollinators
  - have seeds
  - including wild soybeans are sensitive to salt stress
* Some crop plants use types.
* can tolerate some level of pest attack and still produce economically acceptable yields.
* grow faster and take up more phosphorus faster than do most forest plants.
* pump large amounts of water from the soil.
* reproduce by several types of pollination.
* require heat to develop, grow, and mature.

Crowded plant
* are also more prone to disease problems
  - more susceptible to funguses
* compete for nutrients and water, resulting in fewer and smaller blooms.
* maintain a moist environment at the soil line, favoring infection.
* reduce air circulation which enhances leaf spot diseases.
* yield poorly and are more subject to diseases.

Cryptogam
* also play a significant role in enhancing surface soil stability and water infiltration.
* are also subject to illegal harvest
  - lower plants or plant-like organisms that reproduce by spores
* have both direct and indirect effects on seedling growth.

Cucumber plant
* contain compounds.
* develop over time.
* enhance expression.
* have roots
  - shallow roots
* need moisture
  - soil moisture
* produce abundant harvest
* require growth.
* show symptoms.

Cushion plant
* are common on exposed ridgetops and summits.
* grow very slowly.
* look like ground-hugging clumps of moss.

Damaged plant
* become yellowed, stunted, and wilted.
* can potentially regrow.
* have a purplish tinge.
* produce more ethylene, which causes leaves to yellow, drop, or curl downward.
* show more symptoms during hot, dry weather.

Dead plant
* are often red-brown to brown in color and matted together
  - useless for identification
* can t change and grow.
* decompose, and provide nutrients for other plants.
* disintegrate into sand.
* have less free prussic acid.
* provide peat moss.
* serve as a perch before slowly decomposing into mulch.

Defoliated plant
* are more susceptible to winter injury and drought.
* can survive if stem damage is minimal and the terminal growing is intact.

Desalination plant
* convert seawater into fresh water for household and industrial use.
* irrigate the thirsty California farming filds and orchards.
* provide domestic water needs.
* supply much of the population's drinking needs.

Determinate plant
* grow to a certain height and then stop.
* have a terminal raceme.
* produce many short branches ending in flower clusters with a very brief harvest.
