ABSTRACT In my study, I wanted to see if I could breed a trait (Longer petial stem length) in Brassaca rapa by following an artificial selection design. The study was also used in order to monitor the mechanisms of evolution. To do this, I wanted to see if cross pollinating plants with the trait I ...

Trace the pathway in a flowering plant as the water moves from the soil through the tissues of the root, stem, and leaves to the atmosphere. Explain the mechanisms involved in conducting water through these tissues. A very basic overview of water through a flowering plant starts at the roots. Th...

Most plants absorb the water and nutrients they need from the soil through their roots. The soil solution can move freely into the root cortex via root hairs, however it cannot pass through the endodermis on its own due to the impenetrable Casparian strip. Cells in the endodermis actively transpor...

Imagine being able to grow plants and/or crops everyday of the year in smaller spaces without the use of any soil. Hydroponics is a soiless agriculture that does just this. The idea for the use of plant growth without any soil was developed in the eighteen hundreds. Hydroponic gardening is ...

Chlorophyll is the green pigment inside of plants that give them their characteristic green color. Chlorophyll absorbs violet -blue and orange- red light from the sun needed for photosynthesis. Composed mostly of carbon and hydrogen it is a necessary compound used in the complex process that a...

Effects of excessive macronutrients on growth and development of ( Phaseolus Vulgaris ) I predict that excessive Nitrogen(N) added to soil will result in the burning of the leaves and moderate color loss in the bean plant. Excessive Phosphorus(P) added to soil wil...
