Types And Types Of Plants

This experiment was used to show the different types of competition between species. Competition was defined as being a “relationship between members of the same or different species in which individuals are adversely affected by those having the same living requirements, such as food or space” (Competition 2010). There are two different types of competition that we will be observing during this experiment. The first type would be intraspecific, which means “competition between same species” (1976). The second type of competition is interspecific, which is defined as “competition between different species” (1976). These two types of competition have helped us look at the different types of interactions

Water is the only common, pure substance found naturally in all three states of matter

Tomato plant - An edible, often red berry-type fruit or vegetable that has a bright red color. It can grow 3-10 feet. Lives in zone 2-10. The crops in the garden are going to need more water than the ones in the yard. Also, the plants in the garden should go through crop rotation to keep the soil quality good.

Our class had to develop an experiment on our own that did not affect the pH of the water or the light, my group then came up with how nitrogen based plant food affected Wisconsin Fast Plants. These plants were developed at the University of Wisconsin by the professor Paul H. Williams. These plants are great for classroom environments because they grow quite fast. They were originally a type of weed from the family Brassica found in Nepal, India. Williams was trying to develop a type of disease-resistant plant. He thought if he crossed Brassica plants with cabbages and such he could get a disease-resistant plant that grew fast. He did just that, these plants will complete their entire life cycle within 40 days. Classrooms are the

I am going to volunteer at the Morongo Valley Nature Preserve. I will be trimming plants and fixing the trails recently damaged by the rainstorm. I will prune the plants and repair the paths so that people that come to see the Nature Preserve will enjoy the scenery. I am volunteering on the 30th of September 2017. On 20th I will acquire my moms help to drive me to the Preserve. To see what needs to be fixed so I can better prepare my self. Then I am going to go home and finish my homework, so I do not have to worry about is over the weekend.

The purpose of this study is to explore new invasive scientific ways to combat hunger around the world. More broadly put: countries that are drought struck, or are soon to be because of global warming. This study will implement genes from a specific family of plants called the “resurrection plants” into staple angiosperm crops. These resurrection plants share a common ancestor with all angiosperm plants. The same genes that control desiccation tolerance while a plant is a seed are the same genes that resurrection plants are using in their tissue. Resurrection plants can lose 95% of their water and regenerate to full health when moisture is applied. These plants are unique in the way that they can commute from a dormant stage with

Plants shape and diversify our ecosystems by providing a number of different resources to the communities they surround. Plant ecology is important for predicting plant distribution and abundance for the maintenance of our ecosystems. Studying plant-consumer interactions yields information on ecosystem and economic stability, as well as community structure that can all lead to a variety of conservation efforts. Herbivory is a driving factor that can be detrimental to plant communities like the spruce budworm throughout Canada (Swetman and Lynch 1989, Alfaro et al. 1982, Morin 1994) or can maintain high diversity within the community as suggested by the Janzen-Connell hypothesis (Janzen 1970, Connell 1971).

There is a special place that I go in my mind. It is the field in front of my grandmother 's house full of chamomile flowers - white petals with yellow centers and an unmistakable fragrance that permeates the air in the afternoon sun. I used to walk through this thick field and pick the flowers to feed the obliging horses in the next pasture. What I did not know then but know now is that these chamomile flowers were botanically known as German chamomile. There are only two-types of plants that are considered true chamomile - German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) and Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis). Both plants are in the Asteraceae family. Although described as similar, their differences are evident morphologically as well as in their essential oil appearance (more so than in their alcohol extracts or teas). German chamomile is a low growing (up to 0.6 meters) annual herb with daisy-like flowers on a single stem and native to Europe. Roman chamomile however is a perennial plant growing up to 3 feet tall with daisy-like flowers on branched stems and also native to Europe (Western Europe).

Viruses are biological agents that are extremely small and highly infectious. It possesses the ability in infecting all cell types, from complex eukaryotes such as plants and animals, to microorganisms including archaea and bacteria. [1] However, it could only rely on infecting a host cell for viral replication, which when infecting a host cell it incorporates its genetic materials into the host cell DNA and uses the host’s cellular component for replication, such that the cell produces viral proteins and genetic materials for assembling new viron instead of its usual products.

Tomatoes are edible fruits of Solanum lycopersicum , More commonly known as the tomato plant. The plant originated in central America. Tomatoes are used in many dishes across the globe but were first used in mexico. Tomatoes are grown in temperate climates around the world however more hardy strains have been produced meaning some can survive at lower temperatures however to maximise yield lower temperatures are not ideal.In cooler areas of the globe they can be grown in greenhouses. They grow ,depending on the strain, anywhere from one metre tall to 3 metres tall although “bush” variates have the maximum yield. Being so tall the plant often cannot support itself as they have weak stems therefore support is required ie canes, stakes etc.

The naturalised vascular species of flora throughout New Zealand at present has similar totals to the native species (Williams & Cameron, 2006), and newly naturalised species are being discovered at an increasing rate (Howell, 2008). Approximately 19% of all naturalised species are presently recorded as environmental weeds (Howell, 2008). Unfortunately, these statistics can, incorrectly, give the impression that New Zealand environments are inundated with an abundance of diverse weeds. Rather, the majority of naturalised plants, together with weeds, still inhabit a mere fraction of the wild-land habitats throughout New Zealand (Williams & Wiser, 2004). In the centuries to come, it is predicted that weeds and other naturalised floras will increasingly occupancy areas of New Zealand, even for millenniums as has appeared to have occurred with Europe’s naturalised plants (Pysek & Jarosik, 2005). The general origins of naturalised flora species were as decorative garden and feature plants (Howell, 2008), as such they commonly are present near human settlements (Timmins & Williams, 1991). When random wild-land sites were surveyed few, if any, environmental weed species are generally found (Sullivan, Williams, & Timmins, 2006). This suggests that environmental weeds are generally in the initial stages of infiltration into New Zealand’s environments, thus, there is an opportunity to curb further dispersal. Methods of long distance dispersal differ among environmental weed and

According to the Simpson’s diversity index calculations of all the sites in figure 7, Site 3 had the highest index reading of 0.701 out of 1. With 1 being the highest possible value, it indicates very high diversity while 0; the lowest possible value, indicates no/very low diversity. This suggests that 0.701 is a high reading, indicating high diversity of plant species. The analysis of the first hypothesis ‘There is a direct correlation between the diversity of plant species and the relative humidity at each site’, will help explain why site 3 had the highest diversity index reading when compared to the other sites.

Microbes, Bio-Diversity and Overall Plant Health and How They Relate to Long Term Space Life Support Systems

There are different tomato varieties available in the market. Most of these varieties are suitable for containers, however bushy tomatoes are the recommended container tomatoes since they don’t require sticking and are also good for hanging containers.

Infected tomato plants infected exhibit severe reduction in leaf size, upward and downward curling of leaves, crinkling of interveinal areas, interveinal and marginal chlorosis and in some cases purple discolouration of the abaxial surface of the leaves. The disease induces severe stunting, development of small branches that causes bushy growth, reduced fruiting or partial to complete sterility if infection takes place at early stage of
