The Effect Of Crude Oil On The Soil Of A Growing Brassica Rapa Plant

The Effects of Varying Concentrations of Crude Oil in Soil on the Growth of Brassica rapa Andrew Townsend Biology Department Birmingham-Southern College Birmingham, AL October 26, 2014 Abstract The effects of Crude oil on Brassica rapa was tested by the introduction of crude oil to the soil the plant was growing in. The crude oil/soil concentrations ranged from 0-400mg/g. We found that low concentrations of crude oil (5-10mg/g) was beneficial or had no adverse effects to the growth…

OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE ROSETTE GENE IN BRASSICA RAPA By: Justine Poorbaugh Foundations of Biology 2 Laboratory Thursday 2:30 PM Professor Cheek April 21, 2011 ABSTRACT The Brassica rapa is a rapid growing plant that has a standard form and a mutant rosette form. Relative to normal plants, the rosette form is shorter and takes longer to flower. The mode of inheritance of the rosette gene was tested by crossing two true-breeding plants, one of each form. The F1 generation was then…

The Effect of different soil types on plant growth Introduction Australian Gardeners are continually looking for better and cheaper options to improve the growth in their gardens. In Chinchilla, it is common to see rich vibrant coloured loam, but this is not suited to all plants. Common gardeners will find that it is important to understand what soil type they are on and how the climate conditions that surround the area may affect the growth of the plants they wish to establish, which contributes…

for a plant to grow to optimum size and produce optimum crop it is essential for all requirements to be met. These include temperature, light, water, oxygen, mineral nutrients and support. If it is too hot or too cold the plant may develop abnormalities and reduced production. The optimum temperature changes for each variety of plant. In terms of light and oxygen is required in large amounts. Light is required for photosynthesis and oxygen for respiration which is required to carry out all plant functions…

The Effect of Gibberellic Acid on Wild Type and Rosette Brassica rapa Plants Intro This experiment was performed to test two hypotheses concerning the plant hormone gibberellic acid and a mutant rosette shaped phenotype of the plant Brassica rapa. This experiment was done in order to test the effects o gibberellic acid on plants and its effect on rosette shaped complexes. The two hypotheses in this experiment are as follows: Hypothesis number one states that Gibberellic acid allows for stem elongation…

ABSTRACT: By exposing Brassica rapa seedlings to UV-C light, the effect of the growth and development of Brassica rapa seedlings was tested. The experimental group of Brassica rapa seedlings was exposed to 254 nm UV-C light for thirty seconds after one week of growth. Throughout the duration of one month, the height, number of leaves and stem diameter were measured sporadically. After one month, the biomass of the seedlings was recorded. A starch analysis test was also performed. According to the…

as results of crude oil discovery and subsequent increase in production and exportation of crude oil (Edo (2013). The discovery of crude oil and appreciation of oil price in the World market some years ago leads Nigerian government to abandon all other means of revenue generations, including agriculture, just to depend solely on crude oil revenue to finance most of her budgets. However, crude oil exports are no longer sustaining the economy due to the current downturn in crude oil price. For instance…

THE EFFECT OF COW DUNG FOLIAR FERTILIZER ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF PECHAY (Brassica Rapa L.) A Research Project for the Students of Applied Research III Evan Marri Jam LLAMES Antonio Precious Mae PASCASIO Bautista Razver Ace VERIDIANO Razon Ms. Liberata Capilos Teacher School Year 2010-2011 I.

Coffee Grounds in the soil with Brassica rapa plant The purpose of the experiment is to understand the effects on the growth of a Brassica rapa plant when differing roasts of coffee grounds are combined with the soil. The goal is to understand if the coffee grounds act as a fertilizer and allow for more growth to occur or if the grounds inhibit the growth of our plant. The purpose is also to understand if differing concentrations of soil and used coffee grounds affect the amount of growth. This…

does the price of oil and gas have on the economy? How does this affect the daily lives of the entire population? The preceding questions are the basis for the enclosed report. The primary objective of this report is to give a few reasons as to what causes prices of oil and prices of gas to rise. Among these reasons, speculation of things that may or may not happen, like a terrorist strike, is one of the leading factors. Another reason for the continued rise in prices of oil and gas is the constant…
