that encompasses the entirety of human’s cultural interaction with plants and agriculture. Throughout his writing and especially early on, Pollan often uses the word ‘coevolution’ in response to the human interaction with certain staple plants that have a long detailed history with humans. This ‘coevolution’ idea roughly refers to the idea that the evolution of human culture is deeply tied the evolution of our interactions with plants, and at a certain point Pollan refers to one of Charles…

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. The most convenient example of planting seeds and watching the process of roots is how American society created their own way of living. American society’s history goes…

Abstract Photosynthesis, in essence, gives life to plants and plants give life to, us, humans. However, have you ever wondered how the first plant came to be? Through the process of an unlikely symbiotic union of an alga cell, a cyanobacterium, and a bacterial parasite and unfavorable environments, the first plant was born. Although scientists do not know why such a union occurred, they believe it might have to do with the theory of adaptation to one’s environment. Adaptation tends to occur when…

There are other elements within the text which suggest that the days in view are something other than simple days of standard length. The text suggests that the various creatures (plant and animal) came forth in a natural way at God’s instigation. Hence phrases like “Let the earth sprout vegetation” and “Let the earth bring forth,” as well as the emphasis on the ability of all life to reproduce via natural processes (e.g., “trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind”)…

additional eight inches of rain fell but in a very short period of time. This amount of rain within such a short period of time resulted in a flood of unprecedented proportions for the South Carolina Botanical Garden. The devastation that occurred to the plants, animals, and grounds was of unfathomable proportions. The implausible amount of rain overwhelmed the Duck Pond and caused the water to breach the dam. The newly installed Natural Heritage Garden Trail received the brunt of the raging…

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

control group for two hours. The seeds in groups of three in 6” x 6” pots containing a doubly autoclaved mixture of field soil and potting mix at a 1:1 ratio. The maize plants were allowed to grow in 16 h light and 8 h dark at 28 °C ±2 in a greenhouse. Two least vigorous maize seedlings were eliminated to minimize the competition. The plants with five biological replicates for each treatment were put on randomized block design and watered every 1-2…

useful measurement of plant water status (Hinckley et al 1978; Murphy and Ferrell, 1982; Waring and Schlensinger 1985; Davis…

in an insect habitat has a significance in the determination of plant species in an area, which in turn determines which arthropod communities reside in it. Higher water content is a favorable condition for the majority of plants species that exist. Therefore, greater plant diversity is present in habitats surrounded by partially submerged in water. The results of an experiment conducted by Dinnage (2012) show that flourishing plant productivity provides a larger resource base for insects and…

How does precipitation affect the different plants, around it compared to itself. Upon First observing, you will see that it is not affected as much as the other regular plants around it. Why could that be I wondered? My hypothesis is because it can store water when other regular bushes, shrubs, trees cannot. My prediction is that the other plants will look worse or will even die off if not enough precipitation was to occur. Then I would test…
