Objectives and Hypotheses The chief objective of the proposed dissertation is to study the gynodioecious breading system in a phylogenetic and ecological framework focusing on tree species of early angiosperms. Along the way, this involves several additional goals. Chapter 1. The first objective is to determine whether floral dimorphism is translated into gynodioecism in Lauraceae, the phylogenetic relationship with other breeding systems in Lauraceae. Results would provide steady evidence…

For a food secure nation, Kenya still has to inject more into quality seeds Poor quality of the seed used translates to a small cost that is incurred to sustain a well fed economy. The farm yields diminish and the economic losses to the farmers are likely to be much greater. By Juma Chrispinus Farm inputs amongst small scale farmers including seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizers are key in improving agricultural yield. In order to achieve considerable yields, small scale farmers should be able…

God loves to pour his blessings into our soil. However; as with any seedling, the ground must be prepared. Consequently a need often arises to break through the hardness of our hearts for the seed germination and harvest of blessings to occur. In the process we become our own field of labor for the weeding, digging, and pruning or shearing which facilitates the harvest. Weeding is oftentimes the preliminary task that unveils the traits and issues needing attention in our field. Our weeds can…

Tillage is the physical or mechanical agitation of the soil with tools and implements result in good tilth for better germination and subsequent growth of crops. Continuous practice of modifying the state of soil in order to provide favorable conditions for growth of crops is known as tillage addiction. Physical manipulation of soil is intended to destroy weeds, incorporate crop residues and amendments into soil, increase infiltration and reduce evaporation, prepare seedbed and break hard layers…

Peanut, (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an herbaceous annual plant of the family Fabaceae grown for its oil and edible nuts. Peanut plants are small, usually erect, thin stemmed with feather-like leaves. The leaves are arranged in alternate pairs with leaf-like attachments near the stalk. The peanut plant produces yellow, orange, cream or white flowers which produce 'pegs', characteristic floral structures which sink into the ground to grow the pod. The pods could be reaching up to 10 cm (4 in) in…

Effect of Acid Rain on Wisconsin Fast Plants Introduction Acid rain has become a large environmental problem around the world. This chemically potent precipitation is incredibly common in large metropolitan cities where pollution and smog are prevalent. Acid rain has been known to diminish plant growth or completely kill off populations within the contracted areas of these large cities. In addition to effecting plants, it has also been determined that the pollutants in acid rain, such as heavy…

Plant predators, the vicious herbivores of planet Earth have many different adaptations that help ensure their survival in the wild. There are many different types of plant predators who have adapted to survive and live by solely eating plant material. One in such being that of the Tapir. The Tapir is said to be the largest mammal residing in the American rainforests. They feed on a variety of plants and plant material to guarantee that they do not become poisoned by eating too much of a certain…

Usually plants grow in natural sunlight, but do they grow the same in colored light? People always just put their plants outside, then leave them. Is there an effect on plants in the colored light, or is it just the same. Part of the plant is the chlorophyll, which is the part of that is responsible for the pigment or color found in the organism. It is responsible for the green color of plants, except in the fall where the pigment changes to red, yellow, or orange. This happens because the…

white blood cells eradicate foreign invaders. Therefore, inception revolves around bypassing the Ego’s “firewall” via deception; the incognito manipulation of the human Ego to convince that an idea was constructed with free will. This autonomous germination of an idea is necessary for it to, as Eames describes, “grow naturally in your subject’s mind”, thus bypassing our psychological concept of free will. This notion is analogous to the placebo effect – the beneficial effect produced by a…
