process which all living plants get their food from the sun, plants absorbed them water from the roots, plants get their food from the sunlight, plants get help of water and carbon dioxide to survive and give out oxygen and take carbon dioxide. Purpose of this experiment is to analyze the different plants coloring, stain, their movement and observe their activity of the plants. As we all know the sun is the most important energy source for all living craters in the universe, plant use this as…
Question: Do Snow Green pea plants grow faster in a mixture of 25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, or in 75% potting soil and 25% compost? Hypothesis: If Snow Green pea plants are grown, starting from seeds in three different ratios of soil to compost (25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, and in 75% potting soil and 25% compost) then the peas that were in the 75% potting soil and 25% compost soil will grow the fastest.…
is difficult eradicate because it is well suited for the non-turbulent and low salinity waters in LIS (Heinonen 2006). The purpose behind our design is to test the replant ability of the seaweed in a lab environment and testing the viability of the plant in very cold waters. G. turuturu is a high risk invader in LIS that has the potential to devastate local ecosystems (Heinonen 2006). We hypothesize that if this seaweed is capable of replant then it can survive moderate turbulence and steady…
but each has its own advantages and drawbacks. Ultimately, it comes down to your goals for your lawn and your family. Weeds are the Symptoms of the Problems Weeds are a sure sign of problems in your lawn. They grow in poor conditions where other plants die. In good growing conditions, your grass will be able to crowd the weeds out over time. If weeds have established a foothold, your growing conditions are probably less than ideal. Fertilize your lawn early in the spring to give your grass a…

Date Pits might be explained that contents of naturally occurring radionuclides in plants depend on their precipitation and adsorption with soil particles while concentration of radionuclides in soil decreases by a leaching process. Additionally,…
A double-edged sword: what was thought to be a defense mechanism turns out to be an attractive feature (paper 4) Over the years, plants have adapted many features that act as defense mechanisms and help to protect the plant from harmful predators. In a 2014 study, Kevin D. Kohl et al. observed the efficiency of cactus spines as a defensive mechanism by studying white-throated woodrats, Neotoma albigula. These woodrats are herbivorous rats that are commonly found in the southwestern region of…
saprophytic fungi cause decay and decomposition in various bodies of dead animals and plants. Due to their property of decomposition they convert various complex compounds into simple compounds by secretion of certain types of enzymes. Some of these simple compounds are then absorbed by soil which results in the formation of humus. Certain fungi produce associations with the roots of plants and helps them in taking up of nutrients. This association is called Mycorrhizal Association. They…
Parthasarathy et al. (2013) made an attempt on morphological, biochemical and molecular diversity of Garcinia. Identification of germplasm can be made easy by distinguishing morphological characteristics of plant and biochemical content analysis (Gallego and Martinez, 1996). Beside that germplasm identification can be made by molecular marker also. The identification and grouping of the accessions become difficult when they are collected from their natural…
of fruits per plant ranged from 11 (OFI-14) to 68 (cv. ‘Bianca’) and statistically significant differences were found among populations (Table 4). The cvs. ‘Gialla’ and ‘Bianca’ were the populations with the highest production of fruit per plant, 5.2 and 5.1 kg, respectively, and outperformed the remaining populations. In the group of the sixteen OFI ecotypes the lowest values for fruit production per plant were found in the populations OFI-03 (0.9 kg plant-1) and OFI-14 (1.0 kg plant-1) and the…
