Abstract Lantana camara is used as an ornamental plant which belongs to the family Verbenaceae. Is a small perennial shrub native to central and south America. Also known as big-sage, red-sage, tickberry. Is an invasive species. Present in many different colors depicting it’s maturity level. Can grow in variety of climatic conditions and soil. Is known to be toxic to livestock. Ingestion by grazing animals causes intrahepatic cholestasis and associated liver damage. Keywords: Lantana camara,…

False Brome Invasive Activity in Oak Creek Watershed Introduction The intent of this document is to observe and characterize the activity of Brachypodium Sylvaticum (False Brome) as a noxious weed at Oak Creek watershed near Corvallis, Oregon. False Brome is a slender, drooping bladed, perennial bunch grass that is native to Europe and North Africa. It was first introduced to Oregon in the 1930’s and by some estimates, it has spread over 10,000 acres in Oregon—specifically in Western Oregon:…

which contains kernel or meat enclosed in a woody or leathery skin. Some example of nuts is Walnut, Pistachio, and Cashew which can almost be found around the globe. Pulses were described as the dried seeds of the legumes which are beans, peas, and lentils while grains were described as the small, hard seeds from cereal plants such as rice, wheat, and oats. For nuts category, there are two nuts that will be discussed which are almond and Brazil nut. Okay, first here are some nutritional values…

Biol-181 L Ms. Kringel 4/7/17 Introduction Gibberellic acid is a hormone that is found in plants, that not only controls the plant’s growth and development, but also germination of seeds, lengthening of the internode of the stem, expansion of leaves, floral initiation, and the development of flowers and fruit. It is composed of C19H22O6. Plants are known to only produce a small amount of this particular type of hormone. My…

have an Effect on Pollinator Visitation Rates: A Study on Bougainvilleas and their Pollinators Introduction: Pollination is the process by which pollen, is transported to the reproductive organs of female seed plants. Pollen is a fine, grainy substance, which are the gametophytes of male seed plants, and produce sperm cells. Pollination is what allows most plants to fertilize one another and reproduce. Pollination is important because many plants that humans consume, reproduce through…

Nymphaeacea family. It is an attached plant species and is most commonly distinguished by the dark green circular floating leaves on the upper surface, the flower petals are white, often with a pinkish tinge, and the stamens are bright yellow. The seeds, which are produced in large quantities, are smooth and olive-green in colour. The required living conditions of the Water Lily is during the winter season, growing in the sun within fresh water wetlands, lakes, ponds and canals. It has…

rubida and Swainsona formosa Seeds Question The aim of this experiment is to investigate whether water availability prior germination affects Acacia rubida and Swainsona formosa seed germination. We will control the water availability by pre-soaking time. Hypotheses Null hypotheses • Seed germination speed will not differ between long and short soaking time. • Change in soaking time will have same effect on A. rubida and S. formosa seeds. Alternative hypotheses • Seed germination speed with long…

Two different types of seeds, Radish and Cactus, were grown using different concentrations of Gibberellic acid, to see how it would affect their germination time. The amount of germinated seeds were counted each day, and then compared with the combined data from the rest of the class. Gibberellic acid is a metabolic byproduct of the “Gibberella Fujikuroi” fungus. It caused the stems of rice to grow more rapidly than usual, so rapidly that the plant would collapse (Riley 1987) (Gupta, Chakrabarty…

Germination is when seeds undergo the process of turning into plants when the right conditions are given. These conditions include water, oxygen, temperature (some seeds may need a warmer/cooler temperature depending on the type of seed) and some seeds may also need a specific amount of light to germinate (https://extension.illinois.edu/gpe/case3/c3facts3.html). Seeds have an outer shell (seed coat) surrounding them. Inside the seed coat is the embryonic plant and the seed lives off of it’s…

ornamental, for camel feed (Brutsch and Zimmermann, 1993) and for its delicious fruits as food for humans, Vervet monkeys and baboons. O. ficus is succulent shrub or tree reaches to 1.5- 3 meters high which may be reached to 5 meters, propagated by seeds or seedlings. Woody trunks become stiff with age, have flat branches called Cladodes afford spines or may…
