Brassica rapa

is one of the major environmental obstacles that limit the crop productivity. A pot experiment was conducted with an aim to explore the ameliorative effects of exogenously applied sodium nitroprusside (SNP) concentration against salinity stress in Brassica napus (L.) cv. Pactole. Methods Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in plastic pots and were exposed to ***** mM NaCl. Further, ***** days old plants were sprayed with sodium nitroprusside (SNP, **** μM) solutions. Plant growth…

When you think of bone broth, do you think of it as meat water? Well, this meat water has plenty of benefits! But what makes it so special? The answer is easy – collagen! Not only does bone broth provide you with a healthy gut, it also gives you radiant skin and a boosted immune system! Keep reading below to find out what bone broth can do for your body!

The Rapa Nui people are the native Polynesian inhabitants of Easter Island. The Rapa Nui people make up about 60% of Easter Island’s population, with some living in mainland Chile. At the 2002 census, there were 3304 island inhabitants. Rapa Nui activists have been fighting for their right to self-determination and possession of the island. Despite the Rapa Nui people’s struggles with environment, land claims and treaties, they are still able to preserve their culture. The island’s environment…

The central goal in evolutionary genetics is to understand how different evolutionary forces have an impact in shaping genetic variation throughout the genome (Hellmann et al., 2005). Among those evolutionary forces, demographic fluctuations, such as bottlenecks, will cause genome wide variation to deviate from the neutral or usual model (Li and Durbin, 2011). Specifically, determining the effect of selection on genetic variation has been prominent among scientists since a long time ago (Phung…

when introduced to different temperatures. The fishes preferred the temperature under the control group which is around 25°C. The plant Brassica rapa on the other hand has very high tolerance to pH since they have high germination rate among the variety of pH treatments. Under salinity treatments, they can only tolerate up to 10ppt of salinity. The Brassica rapa plant will have its optimum growth under pH 5 and in the control group with almost zero…

These Wisconsin Fast plants are a member of the family Brassica, called Brassica Rapa. The Brassica, family consist of many commercially produced consumable goods, such as, greens, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts and turnips. The Brassica Rapa is native species commonly found throughout the continents of Europe and Asia. The seeds of the Brassica Rapa, were known for their disease resistance that commonly affected crops in the United States. In light…

been grown in. The objective of our research was to determine how the rate of photosynthesis and respiration are affected by growing Brassica rapa FAST PLANTS in high and low CO2 concentrations. I hypothesized that the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of respiration will not have a significant difference in correlation to the concentration of CO2 that B. rapa was grown in because the stomatal density of the same plants grown in high and low CO2 concentrations did not have a significant…

of background information to know about the Brassica lab, in order to fully understand what is being tested and the mechanisms behind it. There are questions that need to be asked such as: why use Wisconsin fast plants, what gamma radiation does to organisms on a molecular level, and even what it does to organisms on a physical level. Why did we use Wisconsin fast plants for this experiment? Wisconsin fast plants are more formally known as Brassica Rapa and are rapid cycling plants. They have a…

Brassica rapa is a Wisconsin fast plant which is as well a member of the mustard family. These plants are considered fast plants because they develop very quickly, flowering in 13-18 days and completing their entire reproductive cycle in about 35 days. With these Wisconsin fast plants we observed the happening of Gregor Mendel’s principles of inheritance patterns. Starting off, some history of Gregor Mendel is that he was an Austrian monk who studied the inheritance of seven different traits in…

9, the boiled extract, and hydroxylamine had on the peroxidase enzyme extracted from Brassica rapa. Emma O’Donoghue Fundamentals of Biology I Lab Professor William Olsen October 8, 2015 Abstract The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects that a number of factors had on enzyme activity. The enzyme used during this lab was peroxidase, which was extracted from the organism Brassica rapa. The peroxidase was standardized at 0.5ml, 1.0ml, and 2.0ml to determine the amount…
