Introduction For the past 30 years Scientist have searched desperately for the answer to salt toleration within plants. The damaging effects of salt accumulation in agricultural soils have influenced both ancient and modern day civilizations alike. Worldwide‚ an estimated 24.7 million acres of once agriculturally productive land are being lost annually due to irrigation-induced salinity‚ according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thus‚ crop production is limited by salinity on 40% of

are more to aquatic plants than just floating on the surface of water. Aquatic plants are plants that can adapt and live in a freshwater environment. They are sometimes called hydrophytes. These include plants that live in fresh wetlands‚ swamps‚ ponds‚ lakes‚ and marshes. This type of plant actually serves two important functions.

LEAVES BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS? A. ELIZABETH ARNOLD1 AND F. LUTZONI Department of Biology‚ Duke University‚ Durham‚ North Carolina 27708 USA Abstract. Fungal endophytes are found in asymptomatic photosynthetic tissues of all major lineages of land plants. The ubiquity of these cryptic symbionts is clear‚ but the scale of their diversity‚ host range‚ and geographic distributions are unknown. To explore the putative hyperdiversity of tropical leaf endophytes‚ we compared endophyte communities along

Invasive plants: approaches and predictions I chose this topic because I want to know what is being done about the invasive plants and on our earth and how people have come up with ideas to prevent invasive plants . I have also chosen this topic just for my own knowledge. Aim: To determine if improving management as well as continuous effort will be needed to stop invaders. Hypothesis: it was expected that good management and continuous effort would be needed to stop any invaders. The source

WHAT MAKES VINCA PLANTS GROW THE BEST? My Science Experiment! The experiment is to take 4 Vinca plants‚ which are about the same size‚ health‚ and flowering stages and find out which one will grow the best. Each of the plants will have 75 ml of a liquid daily for 10 days. My Grandma bought them from Lowes on September 20‚ 2011 for me. Breakdown of the plants are as follows: Control plant will get tap water. Plant A will get Milk from the refrigerator. Plant B
