for the harvested produce of the new white sesame variety Gujarat Til-2 (GT-2) from Gujarat‚ a state in Western India (Exhibit 1). Keeping in mind the amount of sesame seeds he had supplied to the farmers‚ the harvested production was way below of his conservative expectation of yield of at least 200 times per kg of supplied seeds. He had started supplying this new variety in 2008‚ and this was the third consecutive year the yield had not met his expectations. At the beginning of the season in 2010

hypothesis I think that the blue will cause the most plant growth because it won’t get too warm and that is one of the primary colors that plants absorb. Results: Table 1.

as a profession and commercial activity. During the past‚ as most of the vegetable varieties were open pollinated‚ farmers produced the seedlings at a relatively low cost by preparing their own nursery beds. However‚ due to increase in demand for seeds of hybrid varieties which cost much more than the open pollinated varieties‚ many progressive farmers and agriculture entrepreneurs have taken –up the production of quality seedlings using seedling trays as a commercial activity. One of such enterprising

To prove my hypothesis I will use the following materials: • Bean and mielie seeds • Cotton wool • Tap water My preparation includes: • Putting one cotton wool ring on six separate saucers • Placing one bean and one mielie seed on each ring • Covering the seeds with another ring • Label three as A and three as B Group A got 10ml water as a start and from there on 4ml three times a day.

Respiration of Germinating Peas Abstract Aerobic respiration is an enzyme mediated process during which glucose is used to make ATP to fuel the cells energy needs. Germination is one of such processes that make use of aerobic respiration and because certain factors can affect aerobic respiration‚ it would also affect germination. In this experiment‚ we examined the effects of boiling on the rate of aerobic respiration of germinating peas. Unboiled germinating peas were found to have a more rapid

& Soizic F. Rochange1* A carotenoid-derived hormonal signal that inhibits shoot branching in plants has long escaped identification. Strigolactones are compounds thought to be derived from carotenoids and are known to trigger the germination of parasitic plant seeds and stimulate symbiotic fungi. Here we present evidence that carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 8 shoot branching mutants of pea are strigolactone deficient and that strigolactone application restores the wild-type branching phenotype
