Abstract Gibberellin Acid is a plant hormone that can affect plant growth by manipulating the cell division, stem elongation, and even mobilizes food resources within the endosperm to increase seed germination (Wiathrop, 1998). This experiment took place to test the factor of whether or not gibberellin could allow a seed to germinate and grow in the absence of light. Plants were distributed five drops of gibberellin and then placed in the cabinet for a total of three weeks. Each week, we recorded

Plant Hardiness Plant Hardiness is the measure of the ability plants to withstand certain unsatisfactory conditions, like droughts, cold, floods, etc. Canada is separated into hardiness zones, which dictate what kind of plants will survive in a given region. Barrie is in zone 5. This means that the climate in Barrie allows for the growth of plants like deciduous trees, which are less likely to grow in northern parts of Canada due to harsher climate. Greenhouses can be utilized to grow less hardy

The One Hundred Acre Wood is a sweet, harmonious place A.A. Milne has created to house the characters his son, Christopher Robin, plays with. Within the One Hundred Acre Wood, places are marked by how a certain character has manipulated the land, or marked it by some importance. Two of the characters are Winnie-the-Pooh, a resilient, idealist bear, and a glum donkey that assumes the worst named, Eeyore. The way in which the two interact with their world is very different. In the stories, Pooh is

“It’s always too early to quit.” This is a quote by an optimistic author named Norman Vincent Peale. He believed that, even when one thinks it is time to give up and quit, there is always a way to do the job. In the book Where the Red Fern Grows, a boy named Billy Coleman was trying to chop down a huge tree, and several times, he was ready to quit. It would not be right to leave a tree half-chopped and dying for no good reason, so he continued chopping away at the tree’s trunk. Everyone can

Summer comes and goes in the blink of an eye. The poem “Snapping Beans” by Lisa Parker, shows the struggles of a young girl going through college. The young girl’s grandmother says “it’s funny how things blow loose like that.” As a hickory leaf skids by on the porch that is still summer green. From all of the context clues provided, one can draw the conclusion that the hickory leaf represents the young girl falling away from her rustic roots. As a leaf falls in autumn, typically the leaf is a red

the effect of Coke, Sprite, and Mountain Dew soda on seed germination is the same as the effect of the Coke, Sprite, and Mountain Dew on humans. Background Research: Seed germination is a process that is defined as a seed developing into a new plant. Germination is measured by the number of days it takes for the seed to break the shell and sprout. Morning glories’ typically have an average germination rate of seven to ten days (World Seed Supply’s Easy Guide to Morning

Abstract Distribution patterns of Acacia saligna are quite diverse in South Africa especially taking under consideration that they do not have immediate threats that inhibit their spread. However, this species occurs in very different environmental gradients, as it can occur from a wet habitat/area to a bare rock surface that is a very dry habitat. Due to such observations for the distribution of this species a question is imposed in this paper as to how do traits vary along environmental gradients

INTRODUCTION Tinospora crispa, an herbaceous climber from the family Menispermaceae that commonly grows wild in Asian countries including Malaysia. This indigenous climber plant known by various local names like patawali, akar seruntun or akar patawali. Traditionally people used patawali to reduce hypertension and glucose level in the blood, to treat fever, remedy for various ailments such as cough, asthma, tooth and stomach aches. The medicinal potential values of Tinospora crispa have been reported

Edition The elephant ear is a tropical plant that many people use to give their gardens a new, plush, and exotic look over their neighbors. Why settle for the traditional roses when you can be the envy of all those rose lovers. Growing to an average of 3-5 feet, the large leafy plant is named after its large green leaves, which closely resemble the ears of an elephant. Being a tropical plant you will generally want to plant elephant ears in the spring. It is the ideal season due

effects of Lead-Nitrate contamination on the plant Brassica rapa Ernest J. Tiller III, Corey Biology Department Birmingham-Southern College Date: October 24, 2016 Teacher: Jennifer Kelly Abstract In my biology class we conducted an experiment to determine if there was a direct correlation between the concentration of lead levels in soil and the effect it has on plant synthesis and plant height. The specimen used in the experiment is a species of plant, Brassica rapa. Seeds of B. rapa were careful
