Abstract:

Regeneration is particularly in animals like lizards. The researcher wants to find out if the plant can also regenerate like animals. She wants to know if theplants grow a new part to replace the one that was lost.

This study will help us know if the Mayana, Angelica, and Kalabo can regenerate and grow new part after it was cut off. Regeneration will not only be in animals such as lizards, but also in plants. This study would also help us know how to produce more kinds of plants in more pratical ways.

In one month, the researcher planted the herbaceous plants. The researcher made 3 trials each herbaceous plant in the same size. She then observed the pieces of branches of the three herbaceous plants for 3 weeks. In twelve to thirteen days, there were growth occurred in the stump.

Results showed that the herbaceous plants grew a new part to replaced the one that was lost. Regeneration also occurred in plants. Therefore, the plant can aslo regenerate like animals do.

Chapter 1

Background of the Study:

Regeneration is when an being regrows a lost limb or other body part. It is particularly in animals. For example, some lizards can regenerate their tails if they break off. In biology, regeneration is the ability to recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs.
Mayana (Coeus blumei benth.) is an erect, branched, fleshy annual herb, about 1m high. This plant is cultivated for ornamental purposes and this plant can make volatile oils. Angelica (Angelica archangelica) is a biennial herb with a height of 1-1.5m. Its uses is for culinary. This plant grows best in semi-shade. Kalabo (Coleus aromaticus benth.) is an aromatic Eurasian plant related to marjoram, with small purple flowers and leaves used as a culinary herb. Fresh leaves yield 0.055 volatile oils, largely carvacrol.
In this relation, the researcher, wants to find out if the plant can also regenerate like animals. In this study, the researcher uses Mayana (Coeus blumei

    In the Terrestrial camber of our ecocolumn, several changes happened over time. The clover seeds planted at the beginning had a rapid growth rate. At one point our chamber had a couple dozen emerging plants, yet majority died from inconsistent watering and sunlight. At the end of the experiment, the only surviving plants were all on one side, due to sunlight exposure, and the plants were very small, due to the inconsistent…

    Asexual Propagation is the process of using plant materials such as the stems, leaves, and roots to multiply the number of plants. These plants eventually grow to be a brand new plant that is genetically identical to the parent plant it came from. In several types of plants, asexual propagation is the fastest means of new plant growth. Asexual propagation is also a good way to maintain a plant species because they are genetically identical. In this process, adventitious roots are seen in the growing cycle. Adventitious roots are those that grow form parts of the plant that they normally would not grow from. The cuttings must do this in order to form a completely new plant. There are multiple methods of asexual propagation; some include cuttings, layering, division, and budding/grafting. This experiment is designed to look into the method of using cuttings for asexual propagation and the success of the plant parts. As this experiment goes on more herbaceous and succulent plants will root quicker than woody plants.…

    Many years ago, plants made the drastic move from water onto land. Although at first they had a very difficult time surviving on land, they gradually became acclimated to their new terrestrial habitat. This was only after they had formed adaptations to overcome a slew of problems that plagued them on land. For example, they had needed an aquatic environment for both reproduction and to support the plant body, and they had to adapt to living without their aquatic surroundings. In addition, they now had to face the problem of dehydration. Fortunately, they were able to form adaptations to overcome all of these problems and today they successfully live and prosper on land.…

    Genetic transformation is also seen in organisms that are multicellular. However, the process is more difficult and in some cases can be particularly challenging. The multicellular nature of most plants introduces the complication of transforming each cell of the plant in order to fully integrate the new information (2). Often the approach taken in higher organisms, such as plants, involves transforming an individual plant cell and then regenerating it into a whole organism (2).…

    This experiment was conducted to determine whether or not those plants can grow in low fertilized, less sun light and the control group. Each group had there own task of making sure that the plants were always water, each plant had the same amount of light on them. When the plants started to evolve each individual plant was measured of the height. Most of the plants grew faster than others but over the period the plants that grew faster started to slow down while the others caught up to them. Some of the seeds wouldn’t grow fully, they will just freeze the growing and eventually stop evolving.…
