Temperature Effects on Radish (Raphanus sativus) Root Development Abstract Several studies have been conducted to establish how temperature‚ seed germination‚ and root growth are related. Because temperature plays a main role in many growth processes‚ we decided to focus on how it affected root growth. Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds were chosen due to their ability to produce a distinct bulbous tuber‚ and their relatively short growing time. Three test groups were placed under different temperature

The Effect of Varying Dosages of Gamma Radiation on the Growth of Corn (Zea mays L.)1 Montalbo‚ Josephine M. A- 1L September 7‚ 2013 1 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in Genetics laboratory under Prof. Cheryl D. Agdaca‚ 1st semester‚ A.Y. 2013-2014. ABSTRACT Exposure of corn plants to ionizing radiation such as gamma radiation can induce mutation. The purpose of this study was to

secretion of biochemical materials‚ allelopathy involves a plant’s ability to inhibit germination or growth of the surrounding germination. In our exercise‚ we tested for the presence of allelopathic chemicals in plant shoots and the effect of the allelopathic chemicals (our I.V.) on the germination and growth (our D.V.) on radish seeds. The question proposed became‚ “Does Rose seed extract affect the germination and growth of radish seeds?” Keeping the allelopathic effects in mind‚ our working hypothesis

alkaline levels‚ the root growth during germination is affected. The purpose of this experiment was to observe what type of substance‚ acidic or basic‚ increases the growth of roots during the germination process of Cacurbita moschata‚ Beta vulgaris‚ and Capsicum annuum. Previous research has shown that water with a rather neutral pH level of 7 is best for plant germination and growth and that pH levels more acidic or basic did not show much plant germination. The hypothesis was that if the acidity

Investigating Question: Does the concentration of salt in the water‚ affects the germination of the seed? Purpose: To see if the salinity of the water affects the germination of the seed‚ before its put into the soil. Back Ground Information: Seed germination is the sprouting or growth of a seed into the start of a plant. When environmental factors such as moisture‚ temperature‚ oxygen‚ and sometimes light are appropriate‚ a viable seed will begin to germinate. Salinity (salt-affected)

Florencia Rodriguez October 20‚ 2010 IB Biology SLII The effect of three different pH levels (4‚ 7‚ 10) on the rate of germination of spanish beans Research Question: What is the effect of three different pH levels (4‚ 7‚ 10) on the rate of germination of spanish beans? Independent Variable: The different pH levels in the water would be the independent variable in this lab. Three different pH levels were tested‚ 4‚ 7 and 10‚ both 4 and 10 were chosen because they are 3 pH levels away

germinating radish seeds give off a chemical that interferes with the germination of other seeds. A few years ago‚ a group of scientists published a scientific paper that demonstrated that germinating radish seeds have an allelopathic effect upon lettuce seeds. A year later‚ another group of botanists repeated the experiment. The second group claimed that the radish seedlings had no allelopathic effect upon lettuce seed germination or growth. Now it is your turn to determine if radish seedlings do have

Introduction Seed germination and growth are influenced by many factors. Some of these are the environment‚ light quality and moisture availability. Other factors which may influence seed germination are a result of the environment surrounding the seed‚ like alleleopathy. In this experiment we are going to study the alleleopathy of garlic. Using the scientific method of inquiry‚ my group and I are experimenting if the volatility of the crushed garlic will affect germination and growth of the radish
