Brassicaceae

Introduction: Clubroot of Canola is a growing concern in Canada and in the U.S. (particularly in North Dakota). It is a potential problem for western Australia as well. Canola is a valuable crop seeds are primarily used to produce oil for consumption by humans although interest as biofuels, plastics, protein isolates, adhesives, and sealents is growing. Canola meal is also produced as livestock feed. (http://www.canolacouncil.org/markets-stats/industry-overview/)According to the Canola Council of

Abby Meadows 3rd Block The effects of 1.0mL of Acid Rain on Brassica rapa/Wisconsin fast plants. Observation Leading up to Experiment The effects of 1ml. Of acid rain on Wisconsin fast plants. How 1ml. Of acid rain will affect the growth of the plants. If the acid rain will make the plants grow shorter or taller, or if they will grow more or less flowers. Also if the acid rain will affect the weight of our plant

A plant's growth ability is dependent on its ability to acquire the resources it needs to survive. Competition such as interspecific and intraspecific, limiting resources, and population density affect the fitness level of a plant. This experiment was conducted in order to test the capability of collards and radishes to grow in manipulated densities under interspecific and intraspecific competition. I hypothesized that both collard and radish plants will grow more efficiently in single species pots

The Effects of Fertilizer on Plant Height and Number of Leaves in Fast Plants, Brassica rapa Introduction The Brassica rapa has many common names such as field mustard, bird rape, colza, and keblock and is closely related to turnips, rapeseed, and cabbage. Wisconsin University researchers bred one species of the Brassica rapa to have an extremely short life cycle (seed-to-seed thirty-five to forty days) for a model organism in education and experiments. In addition to their short life cycle, they

The control group in this experiment is the group that is grown normally to test the effects of the rest of the experiment’s independent variables. Growing Brassica rapa plants in the control group will allow the other science experiments to be compared to the normal growth of a common Brassica rapa plant. The normal growth of these plants will be important in measuring the other plants to see how their sizes compare and to show how an untreated plant would grow. Because of the nature of the control

The Wisconsin Fast Plant, otherwise known as the Brassica Rapa, is a petite plant and researching tool bred by Dr. Paul Williams and used to improve disease resistance of the cruciferous plants. Dr. Williams was able to breed the Fast Plant with other related species of the Cruciferae family, in order to achieve shorter life cycles. Fast Plant life cycles have been reduced from the average six-month cycle to a five-week cycle (History of Wisconsin Fast Plants). These plants have been known to show

Organic Biofumigants In recent years, production of many crops has become inhibited by taking several herbicides and pesticides off the market. If a producer wishes to be in organic production, this is even further inhibited by products useable to stay within organic guidelines. Biofumigants are basically any product used to control pests and competing weed species within a crop. This has become a hurdle for many producers due to labeling issues as well as the desire to keep the crops and their

Introduction The term ‘allelopathy’ was introduced in early 1937 by Molisch when he discovered that there existed both detrimental and beneficial biological interactions among all plants and microorganism (Rivzi 1). His discovery aided Rice in coming up with a more clear definition of allelopathy. According to Rice, allelopathy is any effect (beneficial or harmful) by one plant or microorganism on another via excretion of chemical compounds to the environment (Rivzi 1). Since then, many researches

ID#:04635   Introduction: - The mitochondria is a double membrane organelle that is found in all eukaryotic organisms. There is some evidence that proves some eukaryotes lack mitochondria, but there is no true evidence about complete lack of mitochondria in the organisms

in the field of Biology. Brassica Rapa is also known as the vegetable crops that many people often cook in their kitchen or harvest in their gardens: cabbages and turnips. This herbaceous species derived from the genus of Brassica and the family Brassicaceae (1). Worldwide, this species is recognized as one of the most fast-growing plants that many biologists are found to experiment on when testing the effects of various variables. When teens are in the process of developing, they begin to produce
