INTRODUCTION A seed is a 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

BROOKLYN BLOOMS SEED BOMB WORKSHOP What: Seedbombs‚ or seedballs are a mixture of clay‚ compost and seeds that are designed to improve ecology in blighted often hard to reach areas. The components are simply mixed together into balls that can easily be dropped or thrown in an appropriate place. How: The clay prevents the compost and seeds from being washed away in rain and keeps them damp. The seeds will sprout plants that need the compost for nutrients required for successful early growth

Genetically modified crops (GMCs‚ GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent. Genetic engineering techniques

Matho-Geometry Project The Geometry of Crop Circles INTRODUCTION A crop circle is an area in a field of crops where the plants have been mysteriously flattened into the shape of a circle or a more complex pattern. A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat‚ barley‚ rye‚ maize‚ or rapeseed. Crop circles are also referred to as crop formations‚ because they are not always circular in shape. The documented cases have substantially increased from the 1970s
