Alexandre Guay A.P. Literature The Cycle of Nature The term "germinal" does not make any appearance in Emile Zola ’s novel‚ even though it is used as the title. The word itself represents the seventh month of the Republican calendar‚ which starts in March and ends in the middle of April. The Republican calendar is a calendar that was created by the French government during the French Revolution. Used for twelve years‚ the calendar had twelve months that had a certain relationship with the

Biology 101 1 November 2013 Cellular Respiration in Peas Part A: Abstract: This report examines Cellular Respiration and its functions as well as its function in germinating and non-germination peas. Cellular Respiration can best be described as a complicated string of chemical reactions. The complete Cellular respiration process begins with Glucose being oxidized‚ and the potential energy is transferred to the ATP molecule. The ATP molecule is now free to supply energy to the various

2.3.3 Effects of heavy metals on plants Plants are sensitive for both‚ deficient and excess availability of some of the heavy metal ions. In which some of them at low concentration are compulsory micronutrients‚ while the same at higher concentrations such as Cd‚ Hg‚ As are intensely toxic to the metabolic activities of the plants (Reeves and Baker‚ 2000; Fernandes and Henriques‚ 1991). Agricultural soil is contaminated by heavy metals‚ has become a critical environmental concern due to their potential

Ceratopteris richardii‚ provided for visual identification of this transition. Spores of different densities were inoculated‚ cultured‚ and observed in germination and sexual expression. We estimated higher spore densities increase percentages of sexually expressed gametes‚ male and hermaphrodite; and concluded that spore density has a direct effect on germination and sexual expression numbers. The ability to observe the spore to gamete transition leads to opportunity in manipulation of gametes for biological

after water had been given to it. This shows that the plant may have become dependent on the conditions inside the container in which it grew or yet the music that was played to it. In the case of the bean that grew alongside the African daisy‚ its germination and growth rate were both slower than that of the daisy. The bean plant had only started to grow on day 11 of the 15 days and remained under 5mm for the last four days of the investigation whereas the bean in container C started to grow on day 10

thinks that plants use some kind of sound indicating to talk with each other and depending on if it is good or bad it may allow the weaker plant to live or die. What’s even more remarkable is that the scientist believes the talking can happen at the germination stage. She showed with some chili pepper‚ basil and fennel plants. She began by planting the chili seeds in isolated dishes next to fennel plants. Not many germinated. Then she conducted the same experiment next to some basil plants. Sure enough

50%‚ 75% & 100%). Each mixture of soil had a total of two kilograms. The mixtures were placed in different plastic pots. The plants were then transplanted to the soil mixtures after 15 days of germination. The heights of the plants were obtained every week. After the span 45 days (since the day of germination)‚ the plants were harvested and the heights and weight were taken. Results show that there is a significant difference between the mixtures made. In addition‚ Chinese cabbages that were planted

aqueous methanol extracts of Mangifera indica L. leaves The aqueous methanol extracts obtained from mango leaves inhibited seed germination of radish and sand fescue‚ and inhibited seedling growth of root and shoot growth of radish‚ rapeseed‚ sand fescue and crabgrass (Figure 1 and 2). The extract obtained from 0.03 g dry weight of mango leaves inhibited 20 and 50 % germination of radish and sand fescue respectively‚ on day 4 (Figure 2).

EFFECTS OF NITROGEN FIXING PEA PLANTS (Pisum sativum) ON GROWTH OF CORN (Zea mays) Introduction Interactions among plant species‚ particularly negative ones‚ have been a concern in agriculture (Levene 1926‚ Russell 1961). Novoa (1981) suggested that it would be advantageous to rotate certain crops by season‚ grow certain crops together‚ or avoid growing certain crops on the same land. Observations indicated that some crops require specific types of nutrients in contrast to other crop
