Germination

Abstract Gibberellin Acid is a plant hormone that can affect plant growth by manipulating the cell division, stem elongation, and even mobilizes food resources within the endosperm to increase seed germination (Wiathrop, 1998). This experiment took place to test the factor of whether or not gibberellin could allow a seed to germinate and grow in the absence of light. Plants were distributed five drops of gibberellin and then placed in the cabinet for a total of three weeks. Each week, we recorded

Introduction: This experiment will test the effects of gibberellic acid on both standard Brassica rapa plants and rosette Brassica rapa plants. Gibberellic acid is a growth hormone used to boost stem growth and speed up the germination process. The purpose of the experiment is to regulate the growth of both plants after being injected with gibberellic acid. Gibberellic acid will cause a change in the growth rate of both the standard Brassica rapa and rosette Brassica rapa. Plants play many roles

Discussion Brassica napus had the highest germination percentage of all the species, in each temperature category. Seeds from this species had the lowest thermal requirements, and as a result were able to germinate almost all of their seeds at low temperatures. The low thermal requirements of this species allow it to be sown earlier in the growing season. An earlier sowing date leads to less competition during the seedling stage of development. Later in development as temperatures rise and more

seeds it’s difficult to determine how deep each seed needs to be planted. To further understand the relationship between the size of the seed and its proper planting depth you would have to fully comprehend the term of seed germination process. In short terms seed germination is the process in which the seed starts developing into what would be a plant .The process starts off when the the seed starts adapting to its location, which would allow it to start growing. Later, if the seed is well adapted

starting the experiment, each solution, when used as a soaking solution for plant seeds before planting, was able to somehow help the end results, if it was in germination rate, plant length, etc. But, each solution has different chemical properties that means each solution must soak the seeds for a different amount of time to help germination. And in this

The effect of flooding on the germination of a seed Question How is the germination of a seed affected by flooding? Introduction Seeds remain inactive until the right conditions present themselves for germination. To germinate the seed requires water, oxygen and the perfect temperature. Water and oxygen are taken through the seed coat and cause the seed’s cells to enlarge. A root will then emerge followed by the shoot containing the leaves and stem. Overwatering a seed will prevent oxygen from breaking

petri dish, there was an extra layer of paper towel on top of the seeds in the control group dish that could have soaked up more water than the experimental group. This factor could deprive the seeds of necessary water, therefore making the seed germination process much harder and could take longer. Also, there was one seed in the control group that did not germinate at all. The water could possibly not have reached that seed in particular. The water was most likely absorbed in the paper towels or

These levels of pH affect the growth of the plants. This experiment explores and investigates how different pH environments affect the growth of Mung Beans. This following experiment will also explore the damaging effects of salinity (salt) on seed germination. Background: This purpose of one part of this experiment is to explore how different pH environments affect the growth of Mung beans. For growth of these Mung Beans, specific levels of pH in the plants themselves

Qualitative Descriptions: Plant A- Day 1~ Soil is moist. There is a funny smell to the beans. Day 2~ Soil is moist. No sign of germination. Day 3~ Soil is completely dry. No sign of germination. Day 4~ The bean is popping out of the soil, but no sight of hypocotyl or radicle. Day 5~ The bean is pushed back inside because it should not be exposed directly to the air since it does not have roots. Day 6~ The

Paraserianthes falcataria - Southeast Asia's Growth Champion By whatever common or scientific names it is known, Paraserianthes falcataria (L.) Nielsen is a valuable multipurpose tree for the humid tropics. One of the fastest growing of all tree species, it is used for pulp and other wood products, fuelwood, ornamental plantings and shade for coffee, tea and cattle. Potential uses for which it is being tested include alley farming and intercropping in forest plantations.    BOTANY: "Falcataria"
