  2. 9. Leaves arising from opposite sides of the same node
  3. 14. A plant that will flower under any daylength
  4. 17. The joining of two separate structures, such as a root and stem or two stems, so they form a union and grow as one plant
  5. 18. The part of the flower (on the upper part of the stamen) in which pollen is produced
  6. 19. Leaves are arranged at one leaf per node on different sides along the stem
  7. 23. The process by which pollen is transferred from the pollen producing section of the plant to the pollen receiving part of the plant of the same flower
  8. 24. The study of growing, marketing, and arranging flowers and foliage plants
  9. 26. A plant that requires a day longer than its critical day length to flower
  10. 27. An undeveloped stem, consisting of a tiny bundle of cells, from which leaves, lateral buds or flower parts will arise

  17. 42. Plants that complete their life cycles in one year or less
  18. 44. Plant embryo with associated stored food encased in a protective seed coat

  23. 52. Species that produce male and female flowers on separate plants
  24. 54. The arrangement of individual soil particles
Down
  1. 1. The initiation of active growth by the embryo, resulting in the rupture of seed coverings and the emergence of a new seedling plant capable of independent existence
  2. 2. A leaf with the blade divided into several leaflets or sections
  3. 3. Leaves with green and white striped pattern instead of the typical all-green look
  4. 5. Increase in numbers or perpetuation of a species by reproduction

  7. 8. Having restricted root growth and a circular pattern of root growth caused by a too-small container
  8. 10. The outer, weather layer of the earth's crust that has the potential to support plant life
  9. 11. Removal of plant parts such as buds, developed shoots, and roots to maintain a desirable form by controlling the direction and amount of growth
  10. 12. Flower composed of a short axis or receptacle from which arise four sets of floral parts-sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils
