Megan Seawright Plant Biology Lab 3146.002 November 17, 2015 Plant Response to Mechanical Stimulation INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to conduct an experiment testing how some sort of mechanical stimulation will affect the overall growth of a plant. The various ways plants respond to mechanical stimulation such as wind or touch is known as thigmomorphogenesis (Johnson et al., 1998). We were provided with Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. Arabidopsis thaliana is commonly known as Mouse-Ear Cress
2. SENESCENCE AND POSTHARVEST PHYSIOLOGY OF CUT FLOWERS Senescence is a highly ordered, endogenously controlled, active degenerative developmental process that culminates in the death of a cell, tissue, organ or organism (Nooden and Leopold, 1978). Senescence, a genetically regulated process, is largely oxidative in nature involving a general degradation of the cellular structures and the mobilization of the products of degradation to other parts of the plants. The process is mainly characterized
species. In food system, genetic diversity provides the foundation of crop development, and food security. It can also promote resistance and resilience to environmental stress including diseases and pest of crops and livestock. Biodiversity can lead to important developments in human medicine because of the studies of physiology, biochemistry, and wildlife anatomy. There are example of species of interest to medical science it includes bears (for cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, insights into
Physiology Research Paper Materializing as individual forms of fossil records for over 400 million years, coral are known to be a highly archaic animal which many believed evolved into contemporary reef-construction that formed for the last 25 million years. Considered the biggest framework on earth, the biological origin and heterogeneous system provides the longest growth within the ecological community. A coral reef resonates thousands of years of historical/scientific data; and provides the
resistance to physical, chemical and biological stress and builds up general vitality.2 The major bioactive components presents in Panax ginseng is ginsenosides, which contribute many beneficial effects to human health. Not only that, Panax ginseng also contains polysaccharides, peptides, amino acids, flavonoids, essential oil, B vitamins and minerals such as aluminium, calcium, iron and copper.3 Ginsenosides or panaxosides are actually produced by the ginseng plant for the purpose of defense mechanism.
A lack of appropriate physiological models that relate climate to animal physiology rather limit the confidence that can be placed in prediction of impacts. It is, however, well documented that warming will alter heat exchange between animal and environment and, feed intake, growth, reproduction, health and production are all affected

IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT STUDIES OF LEAVES OF Mimosa pudica SANAYE M.M, JOGLEKAR C.S* Department of pharmacology, Prin.K.M.Kundnani college of pharmacy, cuffe parade colaba,Mumbai,400005 Abstract-Oxygen is one of the most important molecules on Earth mainly because of the biochemical symmetry of oxygenic photosynthesis and aerobic respiration that can maintain homeostasis within our planet’s biosphere. Oxygen can also produce toxic molecules, reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS play a dual role in biological
Introduction "Save water save life" The Indian subcontinent has a great diversity of geological, topographical and climatic conditions. The general climate is tropical and subtropical barring some of the northern most areas. The Western Ghats and north eastern part of the country receive the maximum rainfall in a year. The diurnal and seasonal temperature is also variable. [Extremes of hot and cold seasons are experienced in northern
