competition), and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There are many methods that fit under those criteria have been researched in addition to algae based biofuels; a few of the most prominent are: (1) perennial plants, (2) crop residues, and (3) double cropping systems. Perennial plants. In 2006, Tillman et al. published an article detailing their experiment to test the feasibility of using low-input high-feasibility (LIHD) mixtures of grasses as a means for biofuel. These researchers…

Bambara groundnut is believed to be autogamous and floral reproduction starts 30 to 35 days after sowing and may continue until the end of the plant’s life (Directorate Plant Production, 2009; Swanevelder, 1998). Flowers are normally carried in pairs on short peduncles by a pedicle which arises from the axis formed by the petioles and the stem (Doku, 1968). Flowers formed on the same peduncle do not open simultaneously…

Early Intensive Stocking management practices pose a serious threat to biodiversity in the Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie region. Annual spring burning coupled with intensive cattle stocking following the fire. This practice has been estimated to be roughly twice the stocking rate as the area can provide. In which ungulates are grazed for 90-120 days into late summer or early fall (Robbins, et al 239 ). The combination of fire and intense grazing has been demonstrated to have negative impacts on…

Determining the impact of Auxin in pea plants, and its effect on lateral bud growth Megan Posey Bio 121-104 John Barry 10/23/16 Abstract Auxin is a hormone that helps to regulate bud growth, cell elongation, and many other aspects of plants. Apical dominance is a phenomenon that occurs due to the presence of auxin and stops lateral bud growth. In this experiment, we tested the hypothesis that a group of pea plants without treatment of auxin would have the most lateral bud growth, the 500 ppm…

rainforests, along with a variety of landscapes and a range of different and native flora and fauna. The forest is along the north coastline of the Daintree river, with the tropical rainforest growing right until the edge of the sea. The forest has a high annual rainfall of around 2000mm per year with 60% of the rainfall occurring in the wet seasons between December to March. Biotic and Abiotic factors have major roles…

Around town I am known as the "Weed Guy." Now I know what some might think, but I am not referring to that type of weed. My business venture involves the removal of unwanted plants that infiltrate gardens not high schools. It all began the summer before my sophomore year in high school. I had run over to my aunt's house with my dog as part of my pre-season Cross Country training. As I completed my post-workout stretch, I listened to my aunt ramble on and on about her overgrown garden and…

the biome, specific factors could have an effect on which species are found in certain areas; for instance, the woody plant distribution of species in a temperate deciduous forest can be affected by a variety of parameters. Temperate deciduous forests themselves are affected greatly by global factors, like climate change, and human agriculture (Reich et al 2002); the woody plants that populate the majority of them are distributed based on things like soil moisture, soil nutrients, soil pH,…

Linum usitassimum is an annual herb belonging to the family Linaceae. The plant is indigenous to west Asia and the Mediterranean. Seed oil of this plant used commercially in the painting and varnishing due to its polymerization properties when exposed to the air and sun light. It is also used as an astringent in fungicidal lotion and an insecticide. Seed oil are reported to rich in essential fatty acids like omega-3- fatty acids (linolenic acid, 35-67%), omega-6- fatty acids (linoleic acid,…

Oxford dictionary defines ‘’Root’’ as family, ethnic, or cultural origins, and the part of a plant which attaches it to the ground or to a support. It is taught that when roots go deeper what is on the ground gets richer. Roots which mean origins symbolize history of a culture, literature, customs, and traditions of a society.
