Tuba-tuba orJatropha.Jatropha is a drought resistant perennial shrub or small tree that produces seeds up to 35 years but can live up to 50 years. Jatropha grows fast with little or no maintenance and reaches the average height of about 3 meters but it can grow up to 8 meters. Tuba-tuba is one of the most promising sources of bio-fuel today. About 30% of the Tuba-tuba nut is composed of oil. 3 kilos of Jatropha seeds can produce about 1 liter of crude Jatropha oil that can then be processed into biodiesel fuel

STUDY GUIDE INTEGRATED SCIENCE 10 PLANT UNIT DO YOU/CAN YOU…. 1. Understand that both plants and animals (eukaryotes) undergo a similar process for cellular division/reproduction? Both plant and animal cells undergo mitosis and meiosis. In plants‚ there is an alternation of generations; the gametophyte generation‚ where haploid gametes (pollen and ovule; sperm and egg) are produced via mitosis. Then the sporophyte generation combines these two into spores via meiosis‚ resulting in a diploid

The most difficult form of propagation is grafting. A lot of people probably think this is dumb or boring‚ but I think it is neat. Most people think the only way to grow plants is by seed‚ but you can also use leaves‚ and stems. Sean Russell says” Plants naturally use several different methods to multiply‚ from seeds to spores to shoots. Gardeners looking to speed the process along can propagate new plants from cuttings. Cuttings are a part of a plant’s roots‚ branches or leaves that‚ when cut and

to understand Mendel’s concept of a Dihybrid by performing similar crosses and calculated the phenotypes that are displayed. This project was conducted over many weeks by planting F1 seed and waiting for them to grow then cross-pollinating the F1 plants to produce the F2 seeds. Next students were to plant the F2 seeds and record the phenotypes. After all the data was collected we ran a statistical test called a Chi Squared to see if the hypothesis put foreword was correct. After running the Chi Squared

For each treatment‚ we obtained two planting trays with cell flats- in which one corner cell was cut out to water the plants. We filled all cell flats with the fertilized soil and used forceps to place one seed with 3-4mm deep in the middle of each cell. After all trays of cells were planted‚ we brought these trays in a growth room and watered the plants. In the growth room‚ the amount of light‚ the temperature‚ and the humidity was kept the same for both
