Brassica Rapa

Decent Essays
Table 1 and Figure 1 is represented by the average root length of Brassica rapa, a fast-growing mustard plant. The Brassica rapa in the treatment group was exposed to the sagebrush (Artemisia Tridentata) stem and leaves. However, the control group only contains the Brassica rapa. As the days passed the control group surpasses the treatment group. The biggest trend for the treatment group was day 5 whereas the control group was on day 7 (as seen in Figure 1). We found a significant difference between our experimental and control group. Our data indicated that the pattern of average root length of exposing and not exposing Artemisia Tridentata was not random. The mean number of the experimental group was 8.81 (SD = 3) and the control group was

    To resolve the plants from reproducing we cut off the pods that the plants had been produced. Many plants were either close in growth or far apart in growth. That is when we started to develop outliers in our experiment which separated us from other groups’ data. We did not have any outliers in our experiment, our final measurement for our plants were very close in…

    This experiment was started with three trays, each of the trays having either basic, neutral, or acidic soil in it. Once there was a hole in the soil of each tray roughly 1cm deep and 2.5cm apart two Brassica seeds were planted in the hole. Next making sure to keep track of which plants were acidic, basic, and neutral thee trays were labeled and note was taken on which tray had which soil on a separate lab paper. After the Brassica seeds were planted they then were placed under constant light for two weeks. two weeks later, the plants had begun to sprout.…

    Duckweed Lab Report

    • 599 Words
    • 3 Pages

    After completing this experiment, I reject the hypotheses that when the amount of dish soap is increased in the water and duckweed solution, there will be more fronds of duckweed because the phosphorus and nitrogen in the dish soap will cause eutrophication and increased growth in the duckweed. There was not a significant (20%or more) difference in growth in any of the jars. The expected results were that jar B would have the most growth of duckweed because it was the most concentrated with dish soap, so there was more nitrogen and phosphorus in the jar to cause eutrophication. The expected result was that with every jar that had a smaller concentration of dish soap, there would be a smaller increase in duckweed growth. The actual experiment…

    It appeared that the control group’s length was significantly longer than the 500 ppm treatments, which showed little growth. The lengths of the buds were ranked and then averages were taken. The lengths were measured in millimeters, and started with 23 mm in the 500 ppm treatment group, growing slowly to 78 mm. The second group was treated with 5,000 ppm of lanolin and then compared to the control treatment. Averages were taken and the buds were ranked by growth.…

    To determine how two different weed species, A. Pinnata and N. Alba, and their accompanying biotic and abiotic factors live in the fresh water eco-system that has been studied, Jake’s Hole. The investigation that was conducted comprised of taking different samples of data over four weeks from the same four sections of the dam, out of a 1m x 1m square. The final results show that A. Pinnata is predominantly the weed species that inhabits the eco-system compared to N. Alba, where there is very little distribution over the covered areas of the dam. Introduction: Background research: “Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and the environments, including: the interactions of living organisms with one another (Biotic factors)…

    Boechera stricta Boechera stricta, belongs to mustard family Brassicaceae. It is restricted to higher elevations and faces both abiotic (e.g. drought) and biotic stressors (e.g. herbivore) at low elevation range limits (Rushworth et al. 2011). For understanding genetic controls on ecologically, these species are very important which provide further understanding of underlying mechanisms in natural populations as compared to artificial lab experiments. Boechera stricta is widely distributed in the western the United States. It is well adapted to diverse ecological conditions in whole United States.…

    Method Bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) were provided by the instructor for the experiment at Mount Royal University. There were four or more bean plants in each of the four pots. The first task was to choose the best three plants in each pot based on whether they had two big healthy leaves and so the three plants looked relatively similar. The excess plants were cut out so that each of the four pots contained three plants, making a total of twelve plants. Each of the four represented a different treatment that occurred to the three bean plants in that pot.…

    Osmosis Theory

    The hypothesis of this experiment was that the salinity of water would decrease plant growth due hypertonic solution and the results support the claim. Over the experiment time, plant 1 grew 0.5cm (2.38% increase) which was as expected as it didn’t have a high salinity. Plants 2, 3 and 4 all decreased in height, with plant 2 height decreasing by 1cm (5.26% decrease), plant 3 decreasing by 1.5cm(8.33% decrease) and plant 4 with a decreased height of 2cm(10% decrease). As you can see from the graph, plant 1 stayed in the same position while as the other plants decreased with plant 4 having the most significant decrease in height. Research supports the claim that salinity effects the plant growth significantly, this can be shown by the slow, stunted growth and how the leaves get darker in colour (Earthwiseharmony.com, 2015).…

    My data supports my hypothesis because the water that is used as a growth solution, with an acidic concentration did not experience any growth. The average of the growth of all of the plants that were given vinegar and water, as a growth solution was zero cm. However, the average of the growth of all of the plants that were given just plain water, without any concentration of acid, received around 1.44 cm of growth, from the top of the soil in the pot of soil, to the top of the average height of the plant. The difference between the averages of the plants given vinegar, and the plants that were not given vinegar was 1.44 cm, the growth of the neutral-watered plants was drastically higher than that of the acidic-watered…

    Beauveria bassiana is a cosmopolitan, haploid, soil-borne entomopathogenic fungus used for the biological control of agricultural insect pests. Biological control of insect pests is a considered alternative to chemical use in modern agriculture systems. Beauveria bassiana is one the entomopathogenic fungi which has great potential of biocontrol agent with larger host range. Fernando et al., 2009 stated that the fungus is pathogenic to many insects worldwide, including the CBB and it has been reported to be the most common fungus isolated from dead and moribund insects in nature (Macleod, 1954). The fungus is also considered as harmless to humans although some cases of fungal keratitis have been reported (kisla et al., 2000).…

    This position in the food chain allows plants to sustain life on Earth through agriculture. Plants have many other significant contributions to human life such as providing a source of medicinal properties for pharmaceuticals and other industrial uses (Dunn, 2013). For this reason, it is important to study the nature of plant growth in order to maximize the available resources that naturally grow on Earth. In this experiment a plant growth hormone called auxin and its synthetic counterparts will be tested in order to determine their effectiveness on plant…

    However, when compared to container B it is slightly slower as the growth of the duckweed in B is much faster due to 10 more grams of fertilizer being added. In container C there is an initial large increase in speed due to the highest amount of fertiliser being added to it, however the growth decreases as time passes possibly as a result of the nutrients in the fertilizer being absorbed faster because there is more available or due to there being a larger initial growth of duckweed which absorbed the nutrients before more could grow. In container D the growth stayed constant as this was the control which allowed us to compare the growth of duckweed with added fertilizers as opposed to no fertilisers. Therefore, as this is parsimonious, it was shown that the speed of growth of D was not as fast as the growth of A, B or C which had added fertilisers. Declaration of authenticity We, Diyajal Ramraj, Jivarn Rahaman and Benjamin Eliason declare that this is our own unaided work.…
