Phytochrome in Lettuce Seed Germination Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the role of phytochrome in lettuce seed germination. In order to conduct this experiment three different types of Grand Rapids lettuce seeds were chosen: Waldmann‚ Concept‚ and Two Star. Each of these seeds were exposed to the following regulated courses of light exposure for ten minutes after they had imbibed for five minutes: Red‚ White‚ Far Red‚ and Darkness. It was hypothesized that the seeds would germinate

In this lab we used radish seeds planted in twelve different pots and three different percentages of isopropyl alcohol (5%‚ 10%‚ & 20%). The first three pots were the controls and they were only given tap water. The second set of three pots were labeled as the low group and they were each given 5% of isopropyl alcohol. The third set of three pots were labeled as the medium group and they were each given 10% of isopropyl alcohol. The fourth set of three pots were labeled as the high group and they

Seed Germination‚ Dormancy‚ and Storage 1 _________________ I. INTRODUCTION Seeds role in the germination process is a critical part in the plant ’s survival. This is practically true in almost all of the plants species (Copeland & McDonald‚ 1995). As germination is defined as "the emergence and development from the seed embryo of those essential structure"‚ which‚ for the kind of seed in question indicates "its ability to produce a normal plant under favorable

BIOL 1401 General Biology Laboratory Seed Germination Exercise Introduction Seeds are produced by the more advanced plant groups that we will study this semester – Gymnosperms and Angiosperms‚ which are grouped as seeded-vascular plants. While we often take seeds for granted‚ they are remarkable in their physiologies and very diverse in their structure and germination requirements. Seed biology is actually a separate sub-discipline in botany‚ with direct significance to the study of plant ecology

Poppy Seed in daily life (Kas Kas) Kas-kas or it’s scientific name Semen Papaveris also known as Opium Poppy in English‚ is an erect annual herb‚ growing up to a meter and a half in height with large hairless‚ almost grayish-green‚ serrated leaves. Poppy seed‚ tiny dried seed of the opium poppy‚ used as food‚ food flavouring‚ and the source of poppy-seed oil. Poppy seeds have no narcotic properties‚ because the fluid contained in the bud that becomes opium is present only before the seeds are fully

Factors affecting seed and seedling vigour Seed vigour is a term encompassing the sum total of those properties of the seed that determine the potential performance of the seed or seed lot during germination and seedling emergence (Perry‚ 1978). Rapid and uniform germination are among the properties of vigorous seeds (Argerish & Bradford‚ 1989). Low vigour adversely affects such factors as optimal emergence‚ stress resistance and uniform growth of emergent seedlings (Patrick et al‚ 2000) and is

compound(Liebeskind‚ 2013). Seed germination is simply the process in which a seedling sprouts from a seed and begins it’s growth. The most important factors for seed germination is the temperature‚ the presence of oxygen and the exposure to water. For a seed to germinate‚ the temperature must be between 60 and 75 degrees fahrenheit. Oxygen and water must be present as well. Lastly the seed must be exposed to light(Britannica‚ 2013). The hypothesis for the experiment is “If seeds are put into different
