Fire Stimulates Seed Germination of Acacia Falcata Laura Knight Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia Keywords: heat, stimulation, seedling emergence, growth. Introduction Acacia species are typically abundant in Australia, where bushfires are a regular occurrence in summer. The viability of Acacia in this area has been recognised as an outcome of the stimulatory impact of fire on Acacia seed germination (Bell et al., 1993). Seed germination success is

Introduction This experiment is designed to test the allelopathy of two different treatments, Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus cinerea) and Lemon (Citrus limon). The two treatments will be tested on radish seeds (Raphanus sativus) to investigate the effect of the treatments on the germination of the radish seeds. Allelopathy is the beneficial or harmful effects that one plant has on another plant by the release of chemicals. Allelopathy studies the interactions among plants, fungi, algae and bacteria with

had an effect on the germination of radish seeds. It was hypothesized that Eucalyptus globulus would have a negative effect on the germination of the seeds and their growth. Before a seed can germinate it must first shed the seed coat, a protective outer layer that protects the seed from parasites, injury, and unfavorable temperatures. Inside the seed coat is the embryo which contains the root and first leaves of the plant, called cotyledons. After the seed coat has been shed the root emerges first

Beck’s Hybrids Beck’s Hybrids is a regional family owned seed corn company that serves farmers in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Southern Michigan, Western Kentucky, Iowa, Tennessee and Eastern Missouri. The main headquarters is located in Atlanta, Indiana. Beck’s has been in business for over 78 years. The business started in 1937 with just family planting and harvesting the crops. At the time, Mr. Beck didn’t realize this launch was going to be a huge success for the second and third generations

which seeds germinate. The hypothesis is rejected due to the data which shows that the average sprout length of the control group is shorter than the experimental group. Although the experimental group grew taller and faster, the control group looked healthier. The control group’s sprouts were greener and stood up taller while the experimental group’s sprouts were a very milky-white green and leaned over some. A reason as of why the experimental group grew taller would be that maybe the seeds in the

as I look back into the life of the young Brittney, I realize that the only thing that I didn’t like about it was the dirt. Did I not understand what putting the root into the soil meant, or was I just too childish to remark the significance of a seed growing like a little me? Never did “gardening” come across me as “fun”! Who wanted dirt stuck under their finger and toenails and who wanted pretty pink clothes ruined with soil? Not me and at that time, I could guarantee no other girl would want

THE EFFECTS OF MOUTHWASH ON PEA SEEDS GERMINATION ANITA ASARE PERIOD 1 MR. SORANNO ANITA ASARE PERIOD 1 MR. SORANNO Purpose: The purpose of the pea seeds germination lab is to determine whether pea seeds will sprout with the absence of a complete water solution and replaced by Listerine Mouthwash. Water is the most basic and useful, natural resources for all living things. Water is extremely responsible for carrying all life functions within

germination of mung bean seeds.” This research aimed to find out how would mung bean seeds will germinate if watered by orange juice. Objectives This research aimed to establish the role orange juice plays in the germination process of mung seeds in terms of germination rate and the length of roots over time. Introduction: Minute-made orange juice has a pH of 2.80. The acidity will have a negative effect on the germination of the seeds. Sour conditions decrease the germination rate of seeds. “The length of

itself is full of people and the secrets hidden within. A prime example of this are from books like The Bad Seed by William March and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. These two novels both contain characters with many secrets, many dark secrets that cause them to hide and live away from society. In a sense, these characters live in “secret worlds”. Starting off with The Bad Seed, Rhoda, the main character who is responsible for violent crimes and her mother Christine who is the “guardian

vegetable seed production and distribution systems in Cameroon Abstract: This study assessed policy and institutional frameworks impacting on vegetable seed production and distribution systems in Cameroon in order to establish benchmark indicators for successful integration and/or diversification of vegetables into existing cocoa-based farming systems in the humid tropics of Cameroon. Results reveal that official regulations and other policy instruments necessary to boost the vegetable seed sector
