Introduction: Plant hormones and growth regulators are chemicals that affect flowering‚ aging‚ root growth‚ killing of leaves‚ promotion of stem elongation‚ color enhancement of fruit‚ prevention of leafing‚ and many other conditions. Very small concentrations of these substances produce major growth changes. All plants produce hormones naturally‚ and growth regulators can be applied by people to are applied to plants by people. Plant growth regulators may be synthetic compounds that mimic naturally

Effect of Sugar on Bean Plant Growth Abstract The objective: My project was to determine if bean plants grew stronger and healthier by the addition of the right amount of sugar to their watering. I believe that plants that receive 50 grams of sugar per liter of water would help bean plants grow to be stronger‚ healthier and larger because they would get energy from the sugar. Methods/Materials 36 bean plants were grown in potting soil. The same amount of soil was used in each pot and it had no added

light on the growth of young tomato‚ cucumber and sweet pepper plants in the greenhouse: effects on relative growth rate‚ net assimilation rate and leaf area ratio. Scientia Hortic.‚ 31: 161-174. Tomato‚ cucumber and sweet pepper were sown in a greenhouse at regular intervals throughout the year. A relationship between the relative growth rate (RGR) of these young plants and the mean daily light integral ( PAR incoming per unit ground area) could be calculated for each species. A growth analysis was

Plant Growth and Development Define growth‚ differentiation‚ development‚ dedifferentiation‚ redifferentiation‚ determinate growth‚ meristem and growth rate. (a) Growth It is an irreversible and permanent process‚ accomplished by an increase in the size of an organ or organ parts or even of an individual cell. (b) Differentiation It is a process in which the cells derived from the apical meristem (root and shoot apex) and the cambium undergo structural changes in the cell wall and the protoplasm

The Effects Different Types of Water Have on Plant Growth Abstract This experiment examines the rate of plant growth when watered with different solutions. Throughout the course of a nine week period‚ five lima bean seeds were watered with five different solutions to see which will most enhance the growth of plants. The five solutions consisted of distilled‚ filtered

Effect of Clay in Soil on Plant Growth INTRODUCTION: In this experiment‚ the relationship between the amount of clay in the soil and plant growth was measured over a two week time period. The manipulated variable in the experiment was the amount of clay in the soil‚ specifically one hundred and twenty grams of clay mixed with eighty grams of soil‚ and the responding variable was the plant growth. Although clay in soil can be beneficial for plant growth in the sense that is provides good moisture

How does the colour of light affect the growth of a plant and which light is best The problem will be investigated is how does colour of light affect the plant growth and what colour is best in terms of speed of the growth of the plant By using the internet I discovered that the problem that I am trying to solve has been done before by various people. As I read the information given off the web it seems that plants that can only absorb certain types of colour of light for example blue or red

The Effect of Vitamin C on Plant Growth Aim: To determine the effect of salt/ sugar/ caffeine/ vitamin C on seed germination. Hypothesis: The plant will grow slowly or die due to the Vitamin C. Equipment: * 2 cups * 2 measuring cups * Water * Vitamin C/ orange Juice * Soil * 4 seed (2 for each cup) * A ruler Method: 1. Pour ¾ of soil into each cup 2. Plant 2 seeds into each cup. Put it about half way down the soil 3. Mix 1mL of orange juice with 5mL

lactose was the lowest‚ so we see a clear downwards sloping trend‚ which was also expected. This suggests that yeast respires best with glucose instead of sucrose fructose or lactose. To explain this process‚ we must first understand how sugar affects yeast growth. First of all yeast is a fungus‚ meaning that it needs sugars to supply it energy. Yeast can also release oxygen like human beings‚ called respiration. So technically speaking the more sugars there are the more

Science course work Aim- To see how the wavelength of visible light affects the rate of growth of aquatic plants Different wavelengths of light will effect to rate of photosynthesis. I will test this by exposing the pondweed to different wavelengths of light to see how it reacts. Method I will do this by passing white light through a filter. The filter will remove all unwanted wavelengths of light leaving the plant exposed to only the desired wavelength of light. I will use three different
