crop species‚ and plants within the Legume Family actually “fix” nutrients‚ for example nitrogen‚ within surrounding soils. Nitrogen is a key plant nutrient‚ and has been shown to be both increase plant growth and development (Russell 1961)‚ but is often deficient in many western U.S. soils (Novoa 1981). Thus Legumes could provide high community trophic “service” (Aprison et al. 1954‚ Hiroshi 2010). The common pea plant (Pisum sativum)‚ a member of the Legume family‚ and a robust dicot flowering

Aim: To investigate the effect of one environmental factor on the phenotype of pea plants Background Information: Pea seeds are available with identical genetic information for height - tall or dwarf peas. These seeds can be used to demonstrate the effect of the environment on the final height of the pea plants. Tall or dwarf peas can be grown in identical conditions where all variables are kept constant apart from one environmental factor. Any differences in the height of the pea plants will be

. Introduction The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume crop grown worldwide (Wortmann and Allen‚ 1994; Wortmann et al.‚ 1998; Buruchara‚ 2006). Beans are considered by many to be the perfect food as they are nutrient dense with high contents of protein‚ micronutrients especially iron and zinc‚ vitamins‚ and dietary fibre (Wortmann and Allen‚ 1994; Bennink‚ 2005; Widers‚ 2006). The crop is currently the second most important source of human dietary protein (Buruchara

Plant Hemoglobin Hemoglobin is a protein-iron compound found within the red blood cells of most vertebrates and is responsible for the cell’s red pigment. These red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the tissue cells throughout the rest of the body. Just as hemoglobin transports oxygen in humans‚ they have also been found transporting oxygen within plants. In plants‚ there are two types of hemoglobin that can be found; symbiotic and non symbiotic. Oxygen is used

Crop Topping Pulse Crops Articles Often higher rates are used to control other broadleaf weeds that may be present. Note that glyphosate can affect germination percentages so it is best not to retain seed from paddocks that have been crop topped using glyphosate. Paraquat products on the other hand such as Gramoxone can be used successfully right up until the milky dough stage of the ryegrass. At 800ml/ha it is a slightly cheaper alternative to glyphosate at $2.80/ha‚ and provides more flexibility
