1.1 Defining the problem

Focus / Research question
How does sodium chloride in measurements of 0.5%, 2%, 5%, 10% and 15% affect the shoot development, this will be measured from the base of the plant to the tip, of the Phaseolus Vulgaris (green beans)?
Hypothesis
If sodium chloride is added to the green bean then the growth of the plant will be decreased.

Background Information / theory
Sodium Chloride (Salt) is a crystalline compound that is a mineral that is component of seawater. Salt is used in many different ways but it is mainly used for cooking. Salt in the soil with plants will cause the plants to decrease in growth. This is because

    Rock salt or table salt will melt ice creating a combination of water and or saltwater. I would use water to help out flowers, grass and other plants grow. In the winter, farmers come through to clear the snow and put a salt chemical mix on the streets which secretes and either falls into drainage ditches or becomes absorbed by our soil. Through the process the osmosis the saltwater mix is moved through permeable membranes of the soil. The saltwater mix is absorbed by the roots of our grass and plants. Certain plants will benefit some growth with low salt concentration. However, with grass and other non-tolerant plants the salt concentration deprives the moisture and water from the roots. Through the roots and the cells of the grass and the plants being robbed of the water, the results are irreversible death of the area of the grass and plants.…

    The chemical components that make up salt are the fused elements of sodium and chloride (Editorial Board, 2012). If there is abundance or very little salts present in dissolve fluids, there could be interference with routine cell functions. Plants depend on water for fluids within the living cells. Too much salt disrupts the flow of the necessary fluids to get to the roots. In addition, a disruption of the photosynthesis process which depends on water particles to carry oxygen and hydrogen atoms throughout the plant becomes stagnant. The salt, mixed with snow and ice, melts down to a watery substance that contains high levels of sodium chloride.…

    Small variations in salinity can make a monumental difference on the water cycle and the ocean circulation. Trouble can also arise when saltwater gets transferred onto the earth. That can damage the soil and wreck habitats! There are two types of salinity, primary and secondary salinity. Primary salinity is when water or soil naturally has a high amount of salt in it, like in a salt lake. Secondary salinity is caused by humans. It can be caused by clearing too much land, which makes the groundwater rise to the surface and the salts inside dissolve into the soil.Secondary salinity has two main forms of which it happens. The first is dry land salinity; when more water enters the groundwater than is taken out, so it can enter vegetation on land and become absorbed by the soil. There is also Irrigation salinity; (Irrigation is the act of flowing water over crops to nourish them), salts can collect in the topsoil under the irrigation. Too much irrigation or poor water are the main causes of…

    Salinity impairs plant growth through osmotic effects, specific ion toxicities, and induced nutrient deficiencies (Wyn Jones, 1981). High salt stress has been found to interrupt homeostasis in regard to water potential and ion distribution which can lead to molecular damage, growth and arrest. It is for this reason, environmentalists and environmental organisations are so concerned about the consequences of salinity on the Australian environment…

    Despite the high salt stress applied, higher plants are able to adapt to these conditions. Salt exclusion and inclusion by higher plants serve as a response to high salinity. With the capability to exclude the salts, negative effects on the entire plant and certain organs are prevented or reduced. Due to the selectively permeable membranes of the plant, K+ are absorbed rather than Na+ leading to low Na+ levels and Cl- content in the plant. Meanwhile, halophytes or salt accumulators have the capacity to survive in high salt concentrations. This was made possible through the salt resistant cell membranes wherein there is a high Na+ to K+ ratio and the removal of excess salt entering…

    Salinity in Australia

    • 1455 Words

    Salt is a natural feature of the Australian landscape. Until European settlement, the salt remained deep in the soil below the root zone of the native vegetation. The clearing of the natural vegetation results in the slow release of these salts to the soil surface or to the river system, which causes a dramatic increase in the salt concentration of the river flow (Anonymous, 1979). Deep rooted native vegetation tended to use most of the rainfall that it received. However the shallower rooted crop plants that are replacing the native vegetation does not use all the rainfall that it receives, causing the excess rainfall to seep deep down…

    In recent years, a major food consumption trend in urban parts of developing countries is that more consumers are eating more meals outside of their homes. Most of the growth in away-from-home eating has been in the fast food sector. In this increasingly competitive industry, while franchising has become a popular vehicle for the fast food sector 's growth and maintaining profitability in the shrinking market share, it also provides target customers with high quality and efficient service. As a result, along with the socio-economic, demographic and behavioral changes, consumer demands for eating out and purchase of fast foods have drastically changed. The findings of this study offer need-oriented types of marketing strategies in India to enable fast food outlets to be more competitive.…

    et al in 2008. They checked the salt stress tolerance in both and proved kabuli cultivar were more resistant. The study on bacterial interactions with legumes by Deepak K.M. et al 2011 using Pseudomonas isolates resulted in stunted development of root and shoot due to production of IAA. Pseudomonas coinoculation with Mesorhizobium species resulted in enhanced growth and nodulation in chick pea. Mayuri S.R. et al 2011 also reported the additive Lead detoxification effect in legume when in combination with microbes. Sunayna D. et al 2011 investigated for bioremoval of lead and chromium in chick pea. Aerial parts of plant showed lower accumulation than roots. In same year, Urvashi Sharma and C. G. Suresh purified a Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitor protein (CPTI) from the seeds of chickpea. They performed x-ray crystallisation and found IC50 value against trypsin to be 2.5µg. In 2013, Gurpreet S. et al studied the effect of copper stress in physiology of chick pea and antioxidant enzyme present in it. Murti S.K. et al 2013 studied the effect of EDTA on Copper (Cu) bioaccumulation in chick pea. Iqnaa N. and Mehvish N. in 2014 studied the growth pattern of chick pea under salt stress conditions. Salt stress also caused reduction in ion uptake and accumulation. Na+, K+, and Ca+ contents in both leaf and shoot reduced under salt stress, also the photosynthetic pigments i.e. chlorophyll ‘a’…

    Salinity is an ecological factor of considerable importance, influencing the types of organisms that live in a body of water. As well, salinity influences the kinds of plants that will grow either in a water body, or on land fed by a water (or by a groundwater).[9] A plant adapted to saline conditions is called a halophyte. A halophyte which is tolerant to residual sodium carbonate salinity are called glasswort or saltwort or barilla plants. Organisms (mostly bacteria) that can live in very salty conditions are classified as extremophiles, or…
