Brassica Essays

Plant height and leaf area were compared in two rapid-cycling Brassica rapa genotypes for 14 days of growth. The dwarf mutant, rosette which is relatively smaller than its counterpart the standard Brassica rapa were grown in a lab and observed for morphological difference. Difference of internode height was found to be because of fewer and smaller cells of the rosette dwarf variant. The average rosette dwarf epidermal cell was found to be about 65% of the size of an average standard epidermal cell

Introduction: The experiment that was done will show that 75 percent soil, and 25 percent soil growth, 100 percent soil the control group will allow the Brassica rapa to grow to a larger extent than the others. While the 100 percent sand, the 50 percent sand and 50 percent soil group will either not grow or not grow as much. The reason that this will occur is that the soil is full of nutrients which will allow the 100 percent to grow more with the ones with the soil. The null hypothesis is that there

is able to live in various climates, which is the reason why kale is so popular around the world. In this article, we are going to introduce the basic information of kale. Kale, known as Brassica Oleracea, belongs to the Plantae kingdom, Equisetopsida class, Brassicales order, Brassicaceae family, Brassica genus and B. Oleracea specie. Other species, such as Chinese kale, mustard, Mediterranean cabbage, broccoli and rape, are all

Francesca Agobe Section-17 BRASSICA RAPA INTERACTIONS WITH INTRASPECEFIC COMPETITION AMOUNG HIGH AND LOW DENSITY VARIABLE POPULATIONS Abstract Competition occurs in plants when there are a limited number of resources. Certain traits that affect advantages or disadvantages in between organisms. Our hypothesis for our experiment that intraspecific competition in low and high density treatments would affect height and survivorship for Brassica rapa. We made high and low density treatments of ten

2.4 Red cabbage Brassica Oleracea L.Var.Capitataf.Rubra is a specific name to red cabbage. The genuine of this plant was from South –Western Europe & Mediterranean region [1]. Nowadays, we can find it from over the world, not just by from it genuine. Brassicaceae, is the family that red cabbage belongs to[2]. Red cabbage contains the source of anthocyanins, this anthocyanins contribute the colour to this plant. Since the anthocyanins are unique, by being wisely in colour range by its characteristic

each leaf was cut to the dimensions 2 by 3cm so as to ensure that the only factor affecting the rate of enzyme reaction was the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and not the amount of enzymes present. The third control variable was the species of brassica rapa leaves only as the species of leaf used affects rate of enzyme reaction. This is because different species of leaves have different amounts of catalase. Hence, if the species of the leaf is different, the results will be inaccurate and unreliable

Salinity on Seed Germination and Plant Growth During this experiment, we tested the effects of soil salinity on the germination and growth of Wisconsin Fast Plants. Wisconsin Fast Plants, also called Brassica rapa, are closely related to brussel’s sprouts, kale, cauliflower and other vegetables of the Brassica genus. These plants were bred by Dr. Paul Williams and under favorable conditions, they have the ability to complete their entire life-cycle in just 28 short days (Williams, 1997, p. 1). Sodium Chloride

absorbed by chloroplasts at different wavelengths for photosynthesis. The other goal is to learn if different color of leaves had different absorbance from green colored-leaves. For this experiment, two different color (purple and green) of Kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica) were used in the following experiment. The pigment from each leaves were extracted by grinding the tissue in 5 ml of 100% acetone using a mortar and pestle. After the pigments were extracted, the ether phase was used to measure

process in the breeding of animals and in the cultivation of plants by which the breeder chooses certain desirable inheritable characteristics. Through this investigation, we are trying to carry out artificial selection using the Wisconsin Fast Plant (Brassica rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plant has an incredibly short life cycle compared to other plants, making it a prime candidate for this artificial selection lab. The plants also need to be cross-pollinated in order to undergo artificial selection. This

populations of humans were among what broadened both worlds. Plants that were transferred from the Old World to the New World were ackee, almond, apple, apricot, artichoke, asparagus, banana, barley, basil, beet, bilberry, bitter melon, black pepper, Brassica oleracea, cantaloupe, carambola, cardamom, carrot, celery, chickpea, cinnamon, clove, coffee, citrus, cilantro, cucumber, cumin, date palm, eggplant, fennel, fig, flax, garlic, ginger, grape, hazelnut, hemp, kola nut, leek, lettuce, lentil, mango

of changing the organism gene according to the way humans desire it and in the process changing its characteristics. Humans have been modifying organisms for thousands of years. For example cabbage, kale and broccoli have the same scientific name; Brassica oleracea as they came from the same original plant that have been domesticated and been selectively bred for different characteristic until it becomes the vegetables that we recognise today. But most of the time when we discuss about GMO it refers

southwest Asia. It was first grown in China in the seventh century A.D and it reached Europe around 1100. Rome and Germany were the origin of kale. The word kale comes from “cales” or “caulis”, which was used by the Greeks and Romans to describe brassicas. It reached North America in the 1669. There are two main varieties of spinach which are prickly seeded varieties and smooth seeded varieties. The prickly seeded has lobed leaves which are harder than the smooth seeded varieties and cope better with

Despite the great efforts to develop an integrated approach to manage DBM, the vast majority of Brassica crops are treated specially with insecticides (Grzywacz et al., 2010). Such practices promote the selection for insecticide resistance, destroy natural enemies, and contaminate the environment. DBM continues to be a major pest due to its ability

correlation between the language used in menus and money spent on food. Jurafsky unpacked depths of history in menu language within his report, The Language of Food. He found that establishments loaded their menus with embellished language, like brassica rather than cabbage, which, of

The Evolution of Artificial Selection Vitahi Jeyananthan Many years ago, artificial selection began, turning the ancestors to the plants and animals we know today. People chose which aspects of a plant or animal they wanted and chose to reproduce the organisms which had them. Artificial selection has changed features of numerous living things including flower shapes, colour, and animal size. This has been going on for millenniums, developing many different types of artificial selection including

Towards the end of the plant’s maturity, the average number of blooms and pods per plant were also counted and recorded. The average number of fully opened leaves per plant were also recorded on the second and third weeks after the plants emerged. CO2 levels of the plants in an enclosed chamber and chlorophyll content of the plant’s leaves (measured in levels of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b) were recorded as well on the last week of measurement. Finally, pictures of the plants were taken after

Biological classification is the scientific procedure of arrangement of living organism into groups. It is done on the basis of their similarities and dissimilarities and placing the groups in a hierarchy of categories. The first pioneer work on biological classification was done by Linnaeus. He classified living organisms into the two kingdoms, i.e Plantae and Animalia. But this classification system proved to be inadequate as there were many organisms that did not fall into any of the categories
