would be a better gauge of the growth of these plants. It is up to you to determine what will be appropriate for your experiment. The only stipulation is that your effect must produce measurable data.

The organization has been improved, and new illustrations have been added, together with new experiments on such topics as potato callus formation, and embryo culture. This book will be useful to ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

Students could replicate the experiment using cress, but instead of focusing on the soil uptake, give the plants different quantities of fertiliser in their soil to test its effect on growth.

Subsequent experiments employing yeast two-hybrid, LCI, Pull-down, and BiFC techniques confirmed the interaction between CmoDREB2A and CmoNAC1. Further analyses, incorporating GUS, LUC ...

The more a plant species invests in defense, the less potential it has for growth, according to a new study. Research made ...

We will look at a very easy experiment that provides lots of information about the strength or the mechanical behavior of a material, called the tensile test. The basic idea of a tensile test is to ...

In 1942, Sigmund Rascher and others conducted high-altitude experiments on prisoners at Dachau. Eager to find out how best to save German pilots forced to eject at high altitude, they placed ...

From Fremantle to Albuquerque, Luc Longley goes back to his upbringing all the way to his college days, chronicling the journey of becoming the first Australian to be selected in the first round ...

Students could replicate the experiment using cress, but instead of focusing on the soil uptake, give the plants different quantities of fertiliser in their soil to test its effect on growth.

But why, you might ask, might it be adaptive for a plant to control its rates of water loss and CO 2 uptake? One answer can be found in the sun. Generally, plant photosynthetic apparati are only ...
