Descriptor	plantas
Entry term(s)	Plantae planta vegetales
Scope note:	Formas de vida multicelular, eucariota, del reino Plantae. Las plantas adquieren cloroplastos por endosimbiosis directa de CIANOBACTERIAS. Se caracterizan por nutrirse principalmente mediante fotosíntesis, con un crecimiento esencialmente ilimitado en determinadas regiones de las divisiones celulares (MERISTEMO), con celulosa en el interior de las células, que les confiere rigidez, ausencia de órganos de locomoción, ausencia de sistemas nerviosos y sensoriales, y una alternancia de generaciones haploides y diploides. Es un término no taxonómico que habitualmente hace referencia a las PLANTAS TERRESTRES. En un sentido amplio incluye RHODOPHYTA y GLAUCOPHYTA junto con VIRIDIPLANTAE.

Scope note:

Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE.
