It results in the formation of the seedling. It is also the process of reactivation of metabolic machinery of the seed resulting into the emergence of radicle and plumule. Seed germination depends on both internal and external conditions. The most important external factors include right temperature, water, oxygen or air and sometimes light or darkness. Environmental conditions must trigger the seed to grow. Usually, this is determined
EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON GERMINATION LAB REPORT By : Ayşe Sağlam 10-A 07. December. 2015 Introduction: Germination is the process of the plant developing from the seed. There are several factors, which affect the germination rate and speed. These factors include light, temperature, oxygen and water. If the condition the seed is in is not suitable for germination, (such as lack of water or very low or high temperatures) the seed will remain inactive. If the conditions
INTRODUCTION For this lab experiment, we were provided with three different seeds to choose from. Once we chose a seed, we had to determine which treatment we wanted to apply to the seed over the course of approximately ten days and observe how the seeds react; identify if germination occurs or not. In my group, we wanted to test how well carrot seeds would germinate when different percentages of a sugar solution were initially added to the seeds inside the Petri dishes. Carrots, scientifically
contradicted our hypothesis. Potassium chloride and calcium chloride both had 100% of their seeds germinated while magnesium chloride had 99% of its seeds germinated. Figure 2 demonstrated that potassium chloride produces the highest percentage of germination in wheat seeds. This was inferred by the line which indicated that the potassium chloride group had much higher values
Place all of the pots into tray, and fill the tray with 1.5 cm of water 7. Cover the tray with a lid to maintain the water in the tray. 8. Cool the tray in a fridge for three days, synchronizing their germination periods. 9. After the three days, place the plants under an artificial light with the lid still on the container. 10. Once the seeds have germinated, take note of the five largest heights of the plants in each pot and any observations that can be
Algal biomass as plant fertilizer and Growth Stimulant Literature review In this literature review, we discuss algae characteristics and cultivation. Moreover, we provide information about the use of algae as fertilizers and growth stimulants, the definition of biofertilizer and biostimulant, and how they help the plant to grow and to produce a higher yield. Also, we provide several case studies of researches aimed to elucidate the role of algae as biofertilizers and biostimulants. General characteristics
The study on jute seed quality and management is common phenomenon in agricultural production for learning how to get optimum output by using minimum inputs to minimize the cost and maximize the production and profit. In Bangladesh, jute seed quality and management of farmers for a specific agricultural production are not sufficient. The studies on seed quality and management of jute production are very few. Jute growers are habituated to follow the technology or practice which has been developed
Nanotechnology is the most fascinating area of research in the field of material science, medical science, life science, physical & chemical sciences. Today, non-metal particles, especially silver, have drawn the attention of scientists because of their extensive application in the development of new technologies in different areas at the nanoscale. Nanoparticles are viewed by many as fundamental building blocks of nanotechnology. They are the starting point for many ‘bottom-up’ approaches for preparing
Since 1970s, image retrieval is an effective research area. Image retrieval is a technique used for browsing, retrieving, and searching images from a huge database. Due to the advance technologies in the internet and digital imaging devices has been explosive growth of digital images. So, image retrieval technique is an efficient and effective for maintaining large database. There are two image retrieval schemes: text-based image retrieval and CBIR. Text-based image retrieval can be outlined back
growth model of the sorghum development has been an ongoing attempt in several centers at the global levels. Seed germination and seedling establishment We have observed that, there is a drastic mismatch between the germination percentages of the seed planted in the lab condition and field condition. It depends on the nature of germination, emergence and seedling establishments of the plants. Blum, 2013, reported that only 33% to 51% of sorghum seed planted in the field will transform into
