seeds." INTRODUCTION Since the arrival and settlement of European farmers two hundred years ago‚ dryland and irrigated-land salinity have become problematic for the Australian environment‚ despite the fact much of our natural landscape is naturally saline. The response of plants to salinity has been explained as a two-phase growth response. The first phase of growth reduction is characterised by osmotic stress due to salts in the outside solution‚ while the second phase develops after salt build-up

Germination is the sprouting of a seedling to a seed. All seeds need oxygen‚ water‚ and efficient temperature in order to complete germination. A key ingredient for seeds to fully sprout is water. Water will moisten the seed and allow it to complete germination in order to grow and complete its cycle. Although‚ when sodium chloride is present‚ it takes way of water trying to enter the seed‚ therefore creating a blockage and will become inactive or germinate slowly (cocoponics‚ 2011). Unlike diffusion

Investigating Question: Does the concentration of salt in the water‚ affects the germination of the seed? Purpose: To see if the salinity of the water affects the germination of the seed‚ before its put into the soil. Back Ground Information: Seed germination is the sprouting or growth of a seed into the start of a plant. When environmental factors such as moisture‚ temperature‚ oxygen‚ and sometimes light are appropriate‚ a viable seed will begin to germinate. Salinity (salt-affected)

geminating mung beans‚ Still the high amounts of salt concentration that are present can cause the Mung beans germination rate to grow poorly and cause it to die at a faster rate. Having salt water in the roots can have an effect of less water being absorbed in which causes the plant to dry out. (1) Mung bean plants grow up to 18 to 36 inches this investigation will show if different amounts of salt (Nacl) will affect the growth of the average Mung Bean. (2)The average mung bean growth without any

Several studies show that music possesses properties that affect the growth rate of plants in different ways. These properties may be the wavelength of the music‚ its frequency or even its tempo. According to a study conducted by Margaret E. Collins and John E. K. Foreman‚ entitled The Effect of Sound on the growth rate of plants (2001)‚ plants growth is directly affected by sounds of varying frequencies. They observed that when plants are exposed to pure tones‚ it affects the growth of the plant

fertilized ovule that contains an embryo and transforms it into a new plant through the process of germination. Seeds remain inactive until conditions are right for germination. All seeds need water‚ oxygen‚ and proper temperature in order to germinate. However‚ some seeds require full light or darkness to germinate. According to Holm (1996) seeds have chemical inhibitors that prevent germination. A seed will not grow unless those inhibitors are destroyed by things like temperature changes‚ moisture

dependent on the conditions inside the container in which it grew or yet the music that was played to it. In the case of the bean that grew alongside the African daisy‚ its germination and growth rate were both slower than that of the daisy. The bean plant had only started to grow on day 11 of the 15 days and remained under 5mm for the last four days of the investigation whereas the bean in container C started to grow on day 10 but its growth rate rocketed up to 60mm by the end of the 15 day investigation
