for plant growth as well as crop physiology. Almost every plant process is affected directly or indirectly by water supply. Plants‚ as one of basic food sources‚ either in nature or cultivations‚ in their growing period‚ require water or at least moisture for germination. Certainly‚ most land plants are exposed to short or long term water stress at some times in their life cycle and have tended to develop some adaptive mechanisms for adapting to changing environmental conditions. Some plants may

What role do plants play in Thanksgiving? The entire idea of Thanksgiving is essentially molded around the idea of crops. Thanksgiving is thought to be‚ historically‚ a time where the Pilgrims and Indians came together to give thanks for the great harvest. In reality‚ The Native Americans celebrated the gifts of harvest as often as possible and the Pilgrims and Natives didn’t come together celebrating crops‚ but instead crops such as corn‚ and land in general was stolen from the Native Americans

The Effects of Temperature on Basil Germination Abstract: Successful germination depends on many different factors. The amount of moisture‚ the type of seed‚ the temperature of the room‚ and how long the seeds are left in the specific environment‚ these factors are the most common. This paper focuses on the temperature of the seeds‚ specifically basil seeds. Basil seeds were placed on a damp towel‚ in two seperate Petri dish‚ and one was put in a room‚ to adjust to the temperature‚ and the

Experimental Plant Variety In order to have a suitable variety of plant types to successfully complete this experiment‚ plant types that contained recognizable traits and that would not easily be pollinated by foreign pollen were chosen. Finding a plant variety with such characteristics allowed better control over the experiment. Twenty-two varieties of pea plants were chosen by first trialing thirty-four varieties. For two years‚ only self-pollination was allowed for each of these thirty-four plant varieties

The effect of light quantity on photosynthesis of green land plants Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy (Hoober 1984). Pigments within chloroplasts‚ primarily chlorophyll‚ absorb the incoming solar energy which excites their electrons (Hoober 1984). These pigments exist in photosystems in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast (Ladiges et al.2010). As the electrons return to ground level‚ they are captured by the electron acceptor in the

The Wonders of Plants Experiment 2 – Upside Down Mungbeans Experiment 3 – Plant Labyrinth 6/18/2015 Mt Gravatt State High School Trinity Wong Abstract Introduction: Plants can’t move like animals do but they respond to certain stimuli‚ making them change the direction in which they grow. Plants are very sensitive to their environment and have evolved many forms of "tropisms" in order to ensure their survival. A tropism is a growth movement whose direction is determined by the direction

Studying the intraspecific competition in water crest plants Introduction: Aim: To investigate how intraspecific competition affects the growth of Nasturtium officinale given an equal amount of water‚ nutrients and sunlight provided. Research Question: To what extent does the spacing between consecutive seedlings of Nasturtium officinale influence the germination‚ and consequently the lengths of the shoots and roots of the plant. Theory: Intraspecific competition occurs when members
