The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will…
of your yard. They add beauty, shade, and value to your property. However, maintaining trees is a lot of work. Unless you have a green thumb and love to work in your yard every weekend, you may want to hire a landscaping service to keep your trees, plants, flowers, and lawn in good shape. Here are some things the landscaper can do to make your trees more appealing. Remove The Lower Branches Removing the lower branches, also known as raising a tree, has several advantages. For one, it makes the…
Plants require many different needs and care. We want to know how plants will grow based on their different environments and their climates. My mother's plants keep dying not matter what she does and we are unsure why. If the plants keep dying we will continuously need to keep buying more to keep her happy, and it would be easier to know how to prevent them from dying in the first place to avoid spending excessive money. It will help to teach people how to properly grow and care for their plants…
Introduction As it is true with humans and most living organisms, plants grow throughout their life cycles. Plants undergo both primary and secondary growth, those being vertically and in girth, respectively. However, plant growth differs from human growth in that plant growth is the result of external factors such as optimal soil conditions, sunlight, water, as well as internal factors such as hormones. Hormones can be defined as molecular signals, which are produced in small amounts by one…
The main objective of this study was to determine whether the rate of cavitation in xylem channels correlates with tree height by measuring the water tension from leaves at the top against leaves from the bottom of Acer Platanoides (Norway Maple) trees. We hypothesized that water tension would be higher at the top of trees than at the bottom. The secondary focus was to determine if varying water tension would affect the structural composition of leaves. In order to identify a relationship, we…
Differences in spectral, spatial, radioactive and temporal characteristics could provide various sources of imagery. A vegetation classification developed from the characteristics is important for classifying and mapping vegetation cover. Geographically, Takalar Regency is located at latitude of -5.4162 and longitude of 119.4876. It was the west part from city Makassar in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was also close to a boundary of Jeneponto regency. In this study area, it was near with five…
Arabidopsis thaliana Development Introduction Proper plant development is dependent on nutrient availability (Krouk et al. 2011). In this regard, plants can respond to nutrient availability by changing their root system architecture. In particular, phosphate (NaH2PO4) levels were found to affect the root system architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana (Williamson et al. 2001), which might impact overall plant development. A better understanding of plant nutrient requirements is important for the…
PLANT PROPAGATION Plant propagation is the method of producing new plant from a collection of sources like seeds, bulbs, cuttings, layering, other plant parts, etc. Plant propagation is divided into many types: Sexual propagation. Asexual propagation. Seed propagation mat. Heated propagator. Now here, we have to discuss about Asexual Propagation. ASEXUAL PROPAGATION : Asexual propagation is a type of plant propagation in which new plant is germinated by artificial means of method without…
