CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A BACKGROUND OFTHE STUDY The radish is an edible root vegetable of the Brassicaceae family that was domesticated in Europe in pre-Roman times. They are grown and consumed throughout the world. Radishes have numerous varieties‚ varying in size‚ color and duration of required cultivation time. There are some radishes that are grown for their seeds; oilseed radishes are grown‚ as the name implies‚ for oil production. The most commonly eaten portion is the napi form tap root

Water is imperative for the growth and preservation of life‚ especially plants. Playing a role from the vary beginning‚ water is necessary in the germination of dry seeds and growth of plants throughout their life cycle. However‚ there are drawbacks to an overabundance of water or a lack of water. Therefore‚ how much water is required to maximize the potential of a given crop? In our experiment‚ we examine the effects of water on corn. Corn is a vital crop to North America‚ and there is a wide draw

apex) and the cambium undergo structural changes in the cell wall and the protoplasm‚ becoming mature to perform specific functions. (c) Development It refers to the various changes occurring in an organism during its life cycle – from the germination of seeds to senescence. (d) De-differentiation It is the process in which permanent plant cells regain the power to divide under certain conditions. (e) Re-differentiation It is the process in which de-differentiated cells become mature again

granted. Without them‚ much of the world would be different and it would affect the planet in a negative manner. Therefore‚ it is necessary for plants to be able to grow. In this paper‚ there is information on seed germination and light’s effects on plants. These are important part of seeds’ growth and they were a part of the experiment that was performed and then analyzed in this paper. The experiment tested the color of light’s effect on an Alaskan pea plants’ growth throughout the course of fourteen

"To examine the effects of salinty on fenugreek seeds." INTRODUCTION Since the arrival and settlement of European farmers two hundred years ago‚ dryland and irrigated-land salinity have become problematic for the Australian environment‚ despite the fact much of our natural landscape is naturally saline. The response of plants to salinity has been explained as a two-phase growth response. The first phase of growth reduction is characterised by osmotic stress due to salts in the outside solution

microwaves positively or adversely affect the growth of grass seeds? This experiment could shed light on the effects of radiation on living things. This information could be valuable not only to other scientist who could perform related experiments‚ but society as a whole as it could provide more information on the negative and or positive effects of radiation. While there is no clear consensus that microwaves will damage grass seeds‚ there are many studies that point towards that conclusion. First

nanometers). The longest wavelengths visible the human eye are red (700 nanometers). Each plant is affected differently by the changing wavelengths of light. The purpose of this experiment is to test the effects of different wavelengths on raphanus sativus (radish). The hypothesis is that wavelengths below 450 nanometers will increase raphanus sativus growth and wavelengths above 650 nanometers will decrease raphanus sativus growth. However‚ the data slightly supported that both wavelengths below 450 and wavelengths

PROPOSAL I. PROBLEM What is the role of sunlight on the germination of Vigna radiata (Mung bean) seed? II. TITLE The role of sunlight on the germination of Vigna radiata seed. III. RATIONALE The germination of the seed is a physiological event. The light is one of the most important environmental factors for germination of seeds. The seeds of many species do not germinate in the dark. Vigna radiata seed or Mung bean seed as it commonly called will be used for the study since it can

between consecutive seedlings of Nasturtium officinale influence the germination‚ and consequently the lengths of the shoots and roots of the plant. Theory: Intraspecific competition occurs when members of the same species have the same niche and therefore compete for the same resources. Competition is an interaction between organisms which live together in a habitat and compete for the limited supply of resources. The seeds of the water crest plants used in the following experiment‚ known as
