Statistical Implementation of the Plant Functional Traits of Bacopa monnieri and Their Biological Interpretation

Shikha Suman

Abstract


The plat functional traits are interdependent and correlated, a single molecule or a smaller plant character may alter the whole physiology. This work is based on the statistical prove of the interdependence of the plant character in governing the life cycle and their biological interpretation. In this article, all the characters are statically correlated and depicted the main factors governing the prime function of the plant.
