in CO2 concentration that is occurring in seeds of all types. Part 1: Germinating and non-germinating seeds a.) Hypothesis: Germinating seeds will have higher cellular respiration rate than non-germinating seeds. b.) Dependent variable is whether the seeds are germinating or not. c.) Independent variable is the change in CO2 concentration. d.) Control variables: temperature‚ mass of seeds used‚ and volume of chamber. Part 2: Germinating seeds in cold water Hypothesis: Low temperature

Genetic use restriction technology (GURT)‚ colloquially known as terminator technology or suicide seeds‚ is the name given to proposed methods for restricting the use of genetically modified plants by causing second generation seeds to be sterile. The technology was developed under a cooperative research and development agreement between the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture

In part A‚ the dichotomous key will lead any two users to identify the same smiley faces. The dichotomous key of the seeds were to be much more difficult in classifying and separating than the smiley faces because the seeds did not have

process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects. Seed germination depends on both internal

In agriculture and gardening‚ hybrid seed is seed produced by cross-pollinated plants. In hybrid seed production‚ the crosses are specific and controlled. The advantage of growing hybrid seed compared to inbred lines comes from heterosis. To produce hybrid seed‚ elite inbred varieties are crossed with well-documented and consistent phenotypes (such as yield) and the resulting hybrid seed is collected. Another factor that is important in hybrid seed production is the combining ability of the parent

Fatty acid composition of oil extracted from raw white sesame seeds and their changes during different heat treatments: Fatty acid composition of the oil extracted from raw white sesame seeds (RWS) is shown in Table (4): The most abundantly found fatty acids were 18:2 (linoleic acid) being 45.68%‚ followed by 18:1 (oleic acid) 35.83%. Other fatty acids were found in considerable amount are 16:0 (Palmitic acid) 9.15% and 18:0 (stearic acid) 6.90% for RWS. The results obtained are in agreement
