Brassica

The control group in this experiment is the group that is grown normally to test the effects of the rest of the experiment’s independent variables. Growing Brassica rapa plants in the control group will allow the other science experiments to be compared to the normal growth of a common Brassica rapa plant. The normal growth of these plants will be important in measuring the other plants to see how their sizes compare and to show how an untreated plant would grow. Because of the nature of the control

The Wisconsin Fast Plant, otherwise known as the Brassica Rapa, is a petite plant and researching tool bred by Dr. Paul Williams and used to improve disease resistance of the cruciferous plants. Dr. Williams was able to breed the Fast Plant with other related species of the Cruciferae family, in order to achieve shorter life cycles. Fast Plant life cycles have been reduced from the average six-month cycle to a five-week cycle (History of Wisconsin Fast Plants). These plants have been known to show

Minimal Amounts of Crude Oil in Soil Beneficial to Growth of Brassica rapa Plant Savanna Roberts and Will Vogel Biology Department Birmingham-Southern College Abstract This study focused on the affects of crude oil in the soil of a growing Brassica rapa plant. Different variations of concentration of crude oil in the soil were used, as well as soil without crude oil, and a soil with an unknown concentration of crude oil. The study took place in a greenhouse in the science department

The experiment commenced with planting over one hundred and thirty Brassica rapa plants. A large abundance was planted to ensure the large diversity of plants, which would also ensure a number of plants would be available to artificially select. Each Brassica rapa was planted with about one hundred and thirty plants to ensure the genetic diversity but this process first commenced by accumulating small plastic pots; it was important that these pots have holes in them so that they could be filled

The Effects of Fertilizer on Plant Height and Number of Leaves in Fast Plants, Brassica rapa Introduction The Brassica rapa has many common names such as field mustard, bird rape, colza, and keblock and is closely related to turnips, rapeseed, and cabbage. Wisconsin University researchers bred one species of the Brassica rapa to have an extremely short life cycle (seed-to-seed thirty-five to forty days) for a model organism in education and experiments. In addition to their short life cycle, they

Mustard belongs to the impressive disease-fighting brassica family that includes important foods such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. In addition to being valued internationally as a spice, mustard has traditionally been used to relieve ailments such headaches, colds and flu and arthritis. Brassicas comprise one of the most important groups of cancer preventing foods, both in terms of their diversity and efficacy. Not only do they help to protect against a variety of malignancies, including

evaluation of two fungicides, Proline and Approach, applied at different times throughout the growing season to gauge their efficacy controlling blackleg. Blackleg Black Leg of Canola Blackleg of canola is a disease that affects canola (Brassica napus) and other Brassica spp. with the causal agent being a fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans (anamorph= Phoma lingam). Canola is one of many cruciferous crops that is attacked by blackleg disease and losses from the disease have been documented for over a century

TYPES OF TIMBERS BLACK BEAN TIMBER The black bean timber is known for to be large and tall in height and grows as tall as 40 m in height with a stem diameter to a 1.2 m. It is usually found in rainforest regions from Lismore, New South Wales to Iron Range on Cape York Peninsula. It is also found in New Caledonia and Vanuatu. The black bean has been shown to be locked in the heart of Northern Queensland in a large hardwood of rainforest through the New South Wales. The description that has been

Effects of Liquid Pesticide on Brassica Plant Growth The question that is being asked for this semester-long lab project is: What is the effect of liquid pesticide on plant growth? Our hypothesis, after careful consideration and research on the effects of pesticides on plants in general, is that the Spectracide, the brand of liquid pesticide we will be using, will have a negative effect on the Brassica plant when applied, resulting in decreased growth when the Brassica plants are grown in laboratory

Introduction For this experiment, in my group we used the Wisconsin Fast Plant, which is also known as Brassica rapa. The Fast plant originated from the University of Wisconsin- Madison program from Professor Paul H. Williams. Fast Plant has a short life span that grows to about 40 days and can grow to be about 15 cm long. However, my groups hypothesis was if we added the coffee grounds to the plant that it will grow faster in size verse, just using soil, water and light. The coffee grounds were
