perennial herbaceous legume which can climb to 3-4 meters (Kantha and Erdman‚ 1985). As a leguminous plant‚ winged bean can be used in almost all parts of the plant. Fruit‚ leaves‚ flowers‚ bulbs and seed are edible and contain high protein and oil (Kotaru et al.‚ 1987; Dwiani et al.‚ 2014). The mature‚ dry seed is the most nutritious part of the winged bean. Their outstanding nutritive quality is based‚ above all‚ on their high protein content (30-42 percent) and their favorable amino acid composition

Lauren Sullivan Plants Imperfections Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to plant different crosses and observe the different phenotypic ratios the plants present. The procedure of this experiment was plant six different crosses and water them correctly so that we could observe the different phenotypes and compare them to Mendel’s proposed ratios. Mendel‚ who had studied peas‚ did a similar experiment and came up with specific ratios that a monohybrid and dihybrid cross should show. His

Two replicates each of 2‚ 4‚ 8‚ 16‚ 32‚ 64‚ and 128 seeds were planted in similar size pots containing an equal mix of potting soil and perlite. All plants were kept in greenhouse conditions exposed to similar light and temperatures settings and were watered at equivalent intervals. At the end of the time period each pot was evaluated for number of seeds that had germinated as well as number

releases sperm into the ovary. An available egg receives the sperm‚ and the egg is fertilized with a meat-bearing seed. The pollen/sperm can belong to the original plant or may come from another sunflower. Self-pollination is a mechanism that the sunflower uses to stay alive. On the occasion where the stigma receives no pollen‚ the stigma will twist and wrap itself around its own pollen. Seeds created by self-pollination will only produce flowers that look like the original plant‚ so no hybridization

SST 242: PRINCIPLES OF SEED PRODUCTION Lecture Two Title: Vegetative Propagation Introduction Man has propagated plant material almost as long as he has cultivated the land to produce food. For a long time‚ plant material was propagated mainly by using the seeds of existing plants. Better methods were discovered over time‚ methods that allowed the farmer to retain the desirable qualities of the plant material‚ while eliminating some of the less desirable qualities. Through these methods‚ the
