    3.1 Introduction Chamomile and yarrow are both medicinal plants cultivated all over the world in an effort to determine the main active compounds from plant materials. The main factors that influence plant growth and development are temperature, light, and plant date. An extensive amount of studies have been done on the effect of controlled conditions on the growth of in vitro and in vivo chamomile and yarrow cultures (Giorgi et al., 2014; Mohammad et al., 2010). Date of planting and ages of seedling

    were detected between transgenic and non-transgenic plants with MANOVA and GLM tests, the authors pooled the performance variables within each generation. They used a linear model and a Tukey’s multiple comparison test with the following variables: germination time (log10), leaf area (log10), number of female/male flowers (log10), number of seeds per fruit (log10) and seed mass (square root). To test for differences in seed germination, plant survival to reproduction and pollen viability between

    Gibberellic Acid Effectiveness on different plant types By: Oliver, …, and …. Introduction This report will be analysing the effectiveness of Gibberellic Acid on different plants to see if it helps them germinate faster. This experiment will be looking at the plant types, Raphanus sativus (Radish), and Echinocactus grusonii (Cactus). It aims to see if the Gibberellic Acid increases the rate at which seeds germinate. Then, if the Gibberellic Acid does, this experiment will look at what ppm ration

The purpose of the experiment is to regulate the growth of both plants after being injected with gibberellic acid. Gibberellic acid will cause a change in the growth rate of both the standard Brassica rapa and rosette Brassica rapa. Plants play many roles in the environment, the biggest being that
