with the intention of testing if two specific plants were allelopathic. Allelopathicity is defined as “They are allelon which means "of each other"‚ and pathos which means "to suffer". Allelopathy refers to the chemical inhibition of one species by another. The "inhibitory" chemical is released into the environment where it affects the development and growth of neighboring plants.” (Ref 1) Introduction: Have you ever wondered why certain plants do not grow around others? This phenomenon can

decide on an abundance of plants -- flowering mounds of plants and perennials -- that prefer cooler temps and provide beautiful winter flowers. You need to realize that flowering mounds of plants are simply what their title suggests: Plants that grow‚ set seed‚ and die inside a year. Even though some plants grown in northern gardens are treated as flowering mounds of plants‚ most are truly tender perennials that can’t survive winter cold. These flowering mounds of plants add color to some winter landscape

Stangler Figs is an important plant species that is in the rainforest ecosystem. There are thousands of different types or species of these figs. Strangler Figs and their species are considered to be called a keystone in tropical rainforest. Keystone species are species that play critical roles in maintaining structure of an ecological community

commonly used for lumber and reforestation projects. However‚ based on studies‚ it is shown that the mahogany tree has inhibitory effects that affect adjacent growing plants. This is made possible chemically and is referred to generally as allelopathy. This study aimed to determine is S. macrophylla had any adverse effects to the growth of plants in close proximity to it. The researchers selected three mahogany trees and planted six plots of differeing distances with each plot containing ten monggo seedlings

of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds‚ for sunlight‚ and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds‚ and reduce competition‚ plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants such as leaves‚ roots‚ stems‚ or fruits‚ but not limited to just the plants. These toxic chemicals can

growth (mass) and germination of individuals of two species growing alone and in mixed species groups. Hypothesis: If planted like treatment 1 (8 collards) and 4 (8 radish) then it will have a higher mass and a greater germination percentage. If the plant is planted with a smaller population density and has intraspecific competition then the radish and collard will have higher germination percentages and mass averages. Constants: Pots‚ temperature‚ soil‚ seeds‚ amount of light‚ water Independent Variable:

Effect of pH on Green Pea Germination Objective: To determine how pH affects the germination of green peas and to examine the degree of germination within each pH level. We will do this by using various buffer solutions (along with distilled water) to grow green peas. Hypothesis: We expected that the group of peas that encountered a pH of 7 to have the most and highest degree of germination. Materials: tap water buffer solutions pH 3‚5‚ 7‚ 9‚11 distilled

The Matilija Poppy also known as‚ the Romneya couteri‚ is an erect flower growing up to eight feet tall that is heavy branched and woody at the base. The white flowers are the largest of any plant native to California‚ and resemble fried eggs. There are five to eight crinkled petals per stem with many yellow stamens and a single large pistil. The unique flower was discovered in California in 1831 by an Irish surgeon-botanist‚ Thomas Coulter and the first seeds reached England in 1875 and by late
