Growing Brassica Rapa

all treatments contain the same type of soil, are planted in the same size of pan, are exposed to the same amount of sunlight, and are maintained at the same temperature throughout the course of the experiment. ON THE TEST there will be a number of related questions about this section not just the question shown below.

The hypothesis behind this experiment is that the Gibberellic acid has a positive growth effect on the plant and causes it grow larger in height.

At the start of this experiment we were required to obtain a set of four Wisconsin Fast Plants, which are genetically, known as Brassica rapa. These plants have been, “originally selected under continuous fluorescent light to grow and reproduce quickly for research purposes, these petite, fast-growing plants have been used for teaching biology concepts” (Wisconsin Fast Plants). These four pots that contain our plants will be under our watch for the next 16 weeks where we will show our results at the end of the semester.

Throughout this experiment, we are researching the effect on the growth and survival of Wisconsin Fast Plants using fertilizer pellets to help with the growth of the plants. Wisconsin Fast Plants is a plant member of the crucifer family which is related to other plants (vegetables) such as cabbage, broccoli, turnips, etc. This plants are small and can grow very easily because they go through their cell cycle around 40 days. Wisconsin Fast Plants Fertilizers are different materials used that can provide plants with the nutrients it need to grow. (1) These plants are a good model system to study because they grew very quickly and didn’t need a lot of resources to grow making them the perfect plant to use for studies. (4) By using the fertilizers,

In order to test this hypothesis and prediction, an experiment was conducted using a heterozygous F1 generation of Brassica Rapa seeds. The seeds were planted, pollinated, harvested (F2 generation) and germinated for observation. When leaves were visible, phenotypes (green vs. purple) were counted and recorded. The experiment took place over 13 weeks, spanning the full semester of General Biology Lab I. The sections that follow will detail the materials and methods used, the results of the investigation and an in-depth discussion of the outcomes.

The relationship between the existence of gall on the goldenrod and the development on the plants by using aspect measurement at the Riverwood Conservatory Introduction This study shows that the present of the gall on the stems of goldenrod has a taller height of stems than the ones that without galls. The averaging about 4 feet (1.2m) in height, goldenrod is a perennial with clusters of bright yellow flowers. It has been used for centuries in the treatment of kidney stones, urinary tract infections, a variety of other medical condition. (1) Survival probability depends on gall size; in small galls the larvae is vulnerable to parasitoid ovipositor, whereas larvae in large galls are more frequently eaten by avian predators.

We noted if any plants died, how dry the tray looked, and various other observations. Final measurements will be taken on April 12, 2016. Final measurements include: the length of the stem, stem length from the korm, weight of the korm, steam weight without the leaves, and stem weights with the leaves. To find the growth of each treatment, we will divide the final date by the initial data collected. Specifically, our group will divide elephant ear growth by Iris growth. So, we will compare the growths of the EI pots. If the proportional of elephant ear versus iris is bigge than 1, this means that the Elephant ear grew larger than Iris. We can then input the data into the respectable ANOVA tests and Post Hoc tests to further analyze our

Two will be the control with a normal period of vernalization at five weeks, two will be in a short vernalization period at three weeks, two will be at a relatively long period of vernalization at seven weeks, and two will be at the longest period of vernalization of nine weeks. The independent variable will be vernalization length, and the dependent variable will be the time it takes the plants to flower. The vernalization will occur at 4ºC. Otherwise; they will be grown at 23ºC. Before vernalization, they will grow at normal temperature for four weeks. Other constants include light, at 20-150 µmol/m2sec and humidity, at 55%. The plants will be grown in long day periods of fourteen hours of light, with dawn at 0600 hours and dusk at 2000 hours. For accurate results, the plants will be grown in a growth chamber. After their first vernalization, I will grow them at 23ºC for four weeks, then put them in a vernalization state again, but each for one less week than previously done. I will repeat this same process twice so that I can shorten the vernalization time again. Flowering time will be measured in days since initial planting to the first

The experiment commenced with planting over one hundred and thirty Brassica rapa plants. A large abundance was planted to ensure the large diversity of plants, which would also ensure a number of plants would be available to artificially select. Each Brassica rapa was planted with about one hundred and thirty plants to ensure the genetic diversity but this process first commenced by accumulating small plastic pots; it was important that these pots have holes in them so that they could be filled with wick. The small piece of wick would serve as a safety net for the Brassica rapas in case they do not receive water. The wick would temporarily keep the soil moist, so the plants would not immediately face peril. We also kept the soil moist

The purpose of this lab was to figure out how capillary action affects the amount of H2O in a cup that is sucked up by a plant. The Hypothesis was: If the celery is placed in a cup of 100 mL of H2O and left to sit for 3 days, then the amount of H2O in the cup will decrease. This is because capillary action forces the H2O up the stem and into the leaves, where the H2O is used in photosynthesis to make sugar. There was no control and only experimental groups. The dependent variable is the amount of water in the cup. There is no dependent variable. The constants were: the celery, the cup, the environment, the food coloring mixture, the air, the water, unit of measurement, and the measuring cup.

Acne is a widespread disease affecting most of the population at some point in their lives. Although there are numerous drug alternatives for the treatment of acne; antibiotic resistance and topical or systemic toxicities are the frequent obstacles limiting therapeutical options. This clinical trial aims to determine the efficacy and tolerability of a new topical antiacne formulation containing a herbal extract composed of two Brassica oleracea variants which are reported as having strong antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant properties and were not studied clinically before. Herbal extract was prepared by boiling the plant parts and then cooling, filtering and concentrating the preparation. The extract was incorporated into an antiacne

The bottle was then inverted four times to ensure mixture. Due to the shortage of glass bottles the NAA was prepared slightly differently. We only measured out the microliters of NAA on water days and mixed the concentration with deionized water in graduated cylinders. In order to keep the concentration of the solutions the same, we measured out 10 microliters of NAA and mixed it in a graduated cylinder of 100 milliliters. Concentrations of both solutions were .01 mL. A total of 15 red beans was split evenly into three plastic circular containers and filled with regular soil. The three containers were labeled with tape and titled. The containers were watered with their respective solution, one with IAA dilution, one with NAA dilution, and the last container as a control and watered with deionized water only. The seeds were watered with 100 milliliters with their respected solution three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for five weeks. The seeds were watered together every water day, even though the time per water day differed throughout the duration of the experiment. The containers were stored on a shelf with no overhead grow light. The conaitners received light from the classroom’s light as well as the other overhead grow lights that surrounded the shelf for the entire experimental period. Observations were recorded once a week on Monday. When observations were

In this experiment, three light sources will be tested on butterbur plants under controlled conditions. We will perform the experiment under controlled

Water is the most natural thing we have on earth. It sustains many organisms and those organisms depend on it almost daily. Plants are such organisms. For this study the focus is the growth of beans. Over the course of two weeks my team and I conducted research comparing the two types of waters that were selected and seeing if they had any significant differences in growing beans. The first week was inconclusive due to bean rot and negligence. Test two led to a more constant observation of growth and change of location. Results gathered from this experiment have shown a difference that different waters may have on the growth of plants. Beans that consumed certain water sources

If plants are put under red cellophane light, then it will not grow as fast as an uncovered plant. Two plants were planted, and one was put under a red cellophane light, and another was left uncovered. Both plants were given the same amount of light, water and air, the only variable that was changed is the color of light the plant was exposed to. Each of the plants were measured everyday for ten days. The data showed that the plant that had no cellophane on it grew at a faster rate. The red cellophane covered plant did not start growing until the third day of the experiment, and grew at a rate of 0.2 mm per day. The uncovered plant had growth on the first day of experimentation and grew at a rate of 0.6 mm per day. This data proves the hypothesis
