SST 242: PRINCIPLES OF SEED PRODUCTION Lecture Two Title: Vegetative Propagation Introduction Man has propagated plant material almost as long as he has cultivated the land to produce food. For a long time‚ plant material was propagated mainly by using the seeds of existing plants. Better methods were discovered over time‚ methods that allowed the farmer to retain the desirable qualities of the plant material‚ while eliminating some of the less desirable qualities. Through these methods‚ the

2.3.3 Effects of heavy metals on plants Plants are sensitive for both‚ deficient and excess availability of some of the heavy metal ions. In which some of them at low concentration are compulsory micronutrients‚ while the same at higher concentrations such as Cd‚ Hg‚ As are intensely toxic to the metabolic activities of the plants (Reeves and Baker‚ 2000; Fernandes and Henriques‚ 1991). Agricultural soil is contaminated by heavy metals‚ has become a critical environmental concern due to their potential

generations. Due to its ability of rapid growth it has become a favorite for scientist to test the theories of inheritance on. In our case we tested to see if we could affect the overall hairiness of different generations. F1 seed was ordered‚ germinated and cross-pollinated until germination of the next off spring of plants were also done. We hypothesized that the presence of hairiness is inherited as a dominant trait and follows basic inheritance laws. The experiments were performed in quads‚ with the different

Alexandre Guay A.P. Literature The Cycle of Nature The term "germinal" does not make any appearance in Emile Zola ’s novel‚ even though it is used as the title. The word itself represents the seventh month of the Republican calendar‚ which starts in March and ends in the middle of April. The Republican calendar is a calendar that was created by the French government during the French Revolution. Used for twelve years‚ the calendar had twelve months that had a certain relationship with the

watering. Plants should be watered frequently‚ depending on the plants growing habits and needs. It is always best to learn how much water a plant needs before beginning to care for it. In the case of radishes‚ they should be watered plenty when the seeds are first being buried and then watered everyday while they are growing (“Growing Radishes”). Another essential part of growing a plant is giving the plant the sunlight it needs. Some plants are normally grown and harvested in winter‚ while others

Lab 5Cellular Respiration Introduction: Cellular respiration is an ATP-producing catabolic process in which the ultimate electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule‚ such as oxygen. It is the release of energy from organic compounds by metabolic chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats can all be metabolized as fuel‚ but cellular respiration is most often described as the oxidation of glucose‚ as follows: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 kilocalories

The plants were then transplanted to the soil mixtures after 15 days of germination. The heights of the plants were obtained every week. After the span 45 days (since the day of germination)‚ the plants were harvested and the heights and weight were taken. Results show that there is a significant difference between the mixtures made.
