sporangium. Nature had to evolve protection for the gametophytes‚ and it came up with an embryo inside the ovary‚ carpel‚ or pistil. The seed also evolved a hardened protective covering to aid in reproduction. Seed became carried in fruits‚ which were eaten by animals that dispersed the seeds and aided in reproduction. In addition‚ seed dormancy allows the seed to remain latent for extended periods of time. Lastly‚ the evolution of internal fertilization using the pollen tube and endosperm helped

INTRODUCTION The oil seed crop Arachis hypogea L. (groundnut/peanut) belongs to family the leguminosae and sub family Papillionacea. The seed containing 50% oil and 25 to 30% proteins can be used as meal for food and feed (Ahmad and Rahim‚ 2007). In Pakistan‚ about 85% of total groundnut is grown in Potowar tract of Punjab‚ 13% in

Several studies show that music possesses properties that affect the growth rate of plants in different ways. These properties may be the wavelength of the music‚ its frequency or even its tempo. According to a study conducted by Margaret E. Collins and John E. K. Foreman‚ entitled The Effect of Sound on the growth rate of plants (2001)‚ plants growth is directly affected by sounds of varying frequencies. They observed that when plants are exposed to pure tones‚ it affects the growth of the plant

and wheat seeds affect the plants growth rate and competition. The competition occurs when resources are limited to the plants. The two types of competitions that occur are interspecific and intraspecific. Interspecific is a competition between two different species and intraspecific is a competition between the plants own species. This experiment was conducted by taking 6 pots containing soil and placing certain amount of seeds‚ radish or/and wheat seeds‚ in each pot. A total of 384 seeds were needed

In part A‚ the dichotomous key will lead any two users to identify the same smiley faces. The dichotomous key of the seeds were to be much more difficult in classifying and separating than the smiley faces because the seeds did not have

conducted to test the above mentioned hypothesis by using the materials such as two pots‚ soil‚ mustard seeds‚ heliotropic chamber or card board box with a hole on one side‚ and water. Procedure of the experiment: Two pots are prepared by filling them with soil‚ and are labelled as A and B. A few (2-3) mustard seeds are sown in each of them. The conditions necessary for germination of seeds such as oxygen‚ moisture (water)‚ and optimum temperature are provided in order to allow them to germinate
