The article explores the possibility of plants that we consume such as vegetables, fruits or other edible plants, containing remaining hormones that may have both positive and negative impacts on our health. Recent studies have indicated that there may be a connection between our gut microbes stimulating the creation of molecules in response to the remnants of hormones in plant matter. Positive impacts look at ABA-rich foods as a way to protect against and fight off cancers cells, and also to regulate

this class. Sunflowers help the environment by producing plant matter from carbon dioxide. They can be used for certain oils for example, one of the main oils is called biodiesel. Sunflowers can actually help some vegetables. One way they

Plant hormones are specialized chemical substances produced by plants. They are the main internal factors controlling growth and development. Hormones are produced in one part of a plant and transported to others, where they are effective in very small amounts. Depending on the target tissue, a given hormone may have different effects. Plant hormones play an integral role in controlling the growth and development of plants. A plant hormone is generally described as an organic compound synthesized

In order for plants to grow they require many things. They need water, nutrients, soil, air, light, temperature, space and time. Since water is vital to a plants growth, most plants use water to transport moisture and nutrients back and forth between the roots and leaves. The water contains nutrients and is taken through the roots up to the plant. Along with carbon and oxygen, that are absorbed from the air, and water which is found in soil, plants must obtain other essential elements to grow

through thirteen. This is the stage when Fast Plants will begin to develop the buds for flowers on its tip, or shoot meristem. Stage seven is on days fourteen through seventeen, and in this time the Wisconsin Fast Plants’ flowers will bloom, and pollination may occur. Stage eight occurs on days eighteen through twenty. During this time, seed pods will develop. The final stage is stage nine, which occurs on days twenty-one to forty. This will be when the Fast Plant begins to wilt and die, and its seed pods

the Earth’s surface that is made up of organic and mineral matter where plants grow. “Soil is the major source of nutrients needed for plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).”(NSW Government, 2004) Soil contains nutrients and water needed for the plant, and also contains living organisms which helps to decompose organic matter and help with producing nutrients for the plant to intake. Nitrogen is the most abundant element found

How the First Seed Plants Froze the Earth With a little bacteria and a little bit of dirt, the first plant on earth was created. This plant was no more than mats of algae that layered on top of itself in water, but it was a first nonetheless. It was not until the end of the Ordovician period, some 480 million years ago, that plants began to grow on land. Bryophytes were the first to grow, which included mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Lacking any leaves, these plants went through a Gametophyte

Page 2 – Information on plant – Dandelions are classed as a perennial herb. They grow in temperate environments, meaning that they need weather which is neither very hot nor very cold. Other names – Fairy clock, Lion’s tooth, Fortune teller, Puff ball, Witch Gowan, Monk’s Head, Priest’s Crown, Irish Daisy, Swine Snort and Peasant’s Clock. Native habitat – The native habitat of the Dandelion is Eurasia, and North and South America. The dandelion can be found worldwide as a common ‘weed’

The family Droseraceae is a cosmopolitan species that is found on all of the continents with the exception of Antarctica. This is likely the most diverse carnivorous plant family and has 150-160 species. 11 of these species are found in the United States (Webb D. 2008). This family is usually found as an herb or rarely a small shrub. The leaves of this family are alternate or whorled. This family has simple leaves, with the lamina with glandular hairs which trap insects, or have bristles that

Salinity Stress on Plants All plants are subjected to a multitude of stresses throughout their life cycle. Depending on the species of plant and the source of the stress, the plant will respond in different ways. When a certain tolerance level is reached, the plant will eventually die. When the plants in question are crop plants, then a problem arises. The two major environmental factors that currently reduce plant productivity are drought and salinity (Serrano, 1999), and these stresses
