Mycorrhizal symbiosis

I think the role of mycorrhizal symbiosis needs more prominence in the article, and deserves a section of its own, rather than being buried in Plant#Ecological relationships. The evidence is that this form of symbiosis has been present since land plants appeared, and was essential to their success, not just a feature of their ecology. I don't have time to work on this now, but it would be good if someone could. See Mycorrhiza and Arbuscular mycorrhiza for material and sources. Peter coxhead (talk) 05:57, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To rewrite.

What is source for "300–315 thousand species of plants"?

I can't find a source for this 300–315 figure, and the given ref says 321,212.[1] Another ref says 400,000.[2] I have a good source that has lots of info, click https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1BDbgcCBC_NyLDkVo8In6y6EtMdJl1-pFPuaAkWGA62k/edit#slide=id.g427fdc3489_0_16 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catguy101 (talk • contribs) 05:56, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. I've updated the text. The "about" seems more than justified in the context. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:30, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These two sentences are inconsistent: 

Plants that produce grain, fruit and vegetables also form basic human foods and have been domesticated for millennia.

The term "plant" generally implies the possession of the following traits: multicellularity, possession of cell walls containing cellulose, and the ability to carry out photosynthesis with primary chloroplasts.

Please add a serial comma to the first sentence (after "fruit") or remove it from the second sentence (after "cellulose"). 2601:5C6:8081:35C0:CDA2:D771:CB53:B57A (talk) 23:44, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Algae are not plants

Hello, the section on algae in this article does not mention that algae are not in the kingdom Plantae; I feel this is important to mention, and would request that it would be changed .16:03, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Please read Plant#Current definitions of Plantae where it is explained that algae are part of Viridiplantae, the definition being used here. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:56, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another Language

Hi! I wrote this article on the Zulu version of Wikipedia and I was trying to link it to this one as a new language but I can't because this one is locked. Can someone help me? SmangaMbongwa (talk) 23:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SmangaMbongwa, interwiki links are now handled through wikidata, see [3]. CMD (talk) 23:43, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind doing it for me? SmangaMbongwa (talk) 23:49, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SmangaMbongwa, this needs to be done from the Zulu Wiki. Go to the page you created, and on the left there is a Languages/Ezinye izilimi header. Click Edit links/Faka ama-links there, and input English into the language field and Plant for the article title. CMD (talk) 00:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is how I was doing it from the first place but it keeps on telling me that I cannot edit the page because it is locked. I figured it was because of this page. SmangaMbongwa (talk) 01:06, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think the issue is the Wikidata page is protected, not the en.wiki page. You should bring up the issues on one of the wikidata boards where they will be better able to help you. CMD (talk) 01:16, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay... thank you SmangaMbongwa (talk) 01:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
