Brassica rapa 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

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

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

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

Results Analysis of Plant Height The wild type B. rapa with an average plant height over the course of the experiment of 12.14 cm is significantly taller, (with an average t-test value of p=0.035936053) than the variegated B. rapa (with an average plant height of 7.22) on all three dates of recording (see Table 1). There is also a

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

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 process

canola is commonly used, this oilseed plant must meet a certain regulated standard in order to earn its name and be differentiated from rapeseed (Kramer, 1983; Daun, 2011). Canola is officially defined as a "Seed of the genus Brassica (Brassica napus, Brassica rapa or Brassica juncea) from which the oil shall contain less than 2% erucic acid in its fatty acid profile and the solid component
