plant’s ability to inhibit germination or growth of the surrounding germination. In our exercise‚ we tested for the presence of allelopathic chemicals in plant shoots and the effect of the allelopathic chemicals (our I.V.) on the germination and growth (our D.V.) on radish seeds. The question proposed became‚ “Does Rose seed extract affect the germination and growth of radish seeds?” Keeping the allelopathic effects in mind‚ our working hypothesis became‚ “If radish seeds get exposed to the rose leaf

were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle length. Our data indicated that seed germination decreased as concentration increased‚ demonstrated

100 – 05 ALLELOPATHY INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects 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‚

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to see if radiation has an effect on the cultivated radish seeds that we used. From the observed data that we collected‚ we were able to conclude that when seeds are exposed to radiation‚ it affects how they grow‚ if there is any growth at all. Introduction Radiation is an important environmental abiotic factor for plants‚ and one small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum‚ is called the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)‚ provides

anticipated. The Tap Water allowed the radish seeds to germinate with in the first 48 hours. In the petri dish labeled tap water‚ 10 out of 10 seeds sprouted into plant growth as seen in Figure 5.1. The radish plant growth within the tap water petri dish grew so well it started to lift the lid off the dish. The results from the Acid Rain (50% vinegar solution) did not allow any radish seeds to germinate. There were never signs of seed germination while observing the seeds over a three week period. In the

Observation of the germination of Cherry Belle radish seeds in different temperatures Problem: In which temperatures‚ 5°C or 47°C‚ will the cherry belle radish seeds germinate better over a 9 day period? Hypothesis: If temperatures of 5°C and 47°C are used on cherry belle radish seeds to study which temperature will be better for the germination of the seed for 9 days‚ then 47°C will be the best temperature because 5°C would be too cold for the seeds to grow in. The manipulative variable

The extract obtained from 0.03 g dry weight of mango leaves inhibited 20 and 50 % germination of radish and sand fescue respectively‚ on day 4 (Figure 2).
