Seed Germination Test Report

2896 Words12 Pages

Hydropriming is known as a seed pre-treatment which increases antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione and ascorbate. These enzymes decrease the activities of lipid peroxidation in the stage of germination. As a result, increases the percentage of germination and improves seed performance under environmental as well as laboratory conditions. Seeds of Aegle marmelos (bael) were treated as following: (i) unsoaked seed (control); (ii) hydropriming for 48 h; (iii) hydropriming for 96 h and (iv) hydropriming for 144 h as T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. The seeds were soaked in distilled water at 26 oC except control. The hydro primed seeds for 96 h at 26 oC showed best germination (90.00 %). ANOVA and DMRT showed significant results for all applied …show more content…

Seed germination parameters
The number of seeds germinated in each treatment was recorded regularly. At the end of germination test (25th day), different seed germination parameters were calculated using the following formulas: Mean daily germination (MDG) is an indicator of daily germination rate calculated as, MDG= (FG %)/( D) (Scott et al., 1984)

Vigour index-I = [Seedling length (cm) × Final germination (%)] (Abdul-Baki and Anderson, 1973) Vigour index-II = Final germination (%) × Seedling dry weight …show more content…

Seedling growth rate (SGR)= SL1/F1+(SL1-SL2)/F2+⋯+([SLn-SL(n-1)])/Fn (Copeland,1976)

Where, SL1 = the mean seedling length at first count; SL2 = the mean seedling length at second count; SL1−SL2 = the mean increase in length in second count; F1 = the days to first count; Fn = the days to final count and n = the number of germinated

    In addition, the average height of the seed, with pure water, after 8 days, was 8.9 centimeters whereas the average height of the seeds with 4% of “Miracle Gro” was 0.3 centimeters. The difference there is a whopping 8.6 centimeters. Not only that, but the seeds have a coating and when it separates from the seed that signals that the seed is beginning to germinate. After the 8 days, the seeds with only water were all separated from their covering, while the 4% solution only had 2 beginning to peel. Finally, we concluded that because of osmosis, the seeds with more “Miracle Gro” were bound to grow the least.

    The average growing period (days between each molt) will be calculated for each sample. This will be calculated by adding the amount of days a newly molted milkweed bug appeared in the specific stadium up until more than 50% of the milkweed bugs are at that stadium. The days will then be averaged to find the average amount of days it takes for the milkweed bugs to develop into that stadium. The final data that we will collect is survivorship rates. This will be calculated by the amount of insects that stay alive throughout the experiment.

Does the brand Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, Members Mark, Cottonelle, Scott, or Charmin when wet hold the most pennies? Does the brand Quilted Northern, Angel Soft, Members Mark, Cottonelle, Scott, or Charmin hold the most pennies when dry? HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that Scott will break apart the fastest in moving water because Scott is one-ply and the thinnest of all the toilet paper. My second hypothesis is that Quilted Northern will hold the most pennies when wet because it is one of the thickest toilet papers.

    The Study of Diffusion and Osmosis Using Deshelled Eggs Maquita A. Dieufene Jessica Thelwell(Partner) 10/09/2014 1611 Evening Lab   Introduction It is quite simple to overlook the roles diffusion and osmosis play in daily life. If one has ever spent too much time in the pool and watched as their fingers begin to turn prune-like, that is an example of osmosis. Osmosis is simply defined as the movement of a concentrated solvent through a semi permeable membrane to a more concentrated solvent.(Biology Corner) Relating to the earlier example of osmosis, your body acts as the more concentrated solvent for the water to penetrate. Diffusion is the exact opposite of osmosis.

    In this egg drop project, a container was built to house one egg and was then dropped at various heights. The purpose of this lab was to find how impact time affected the force with which an object, the egg container, hits another surface as the momentum moves to zero. Our hypothesis states that if the impact time is stretched longer then the force exerted on the egg would decrease, making the egg less likely to break. The independent variables for the egg drop project was the height at each drop; the dependent variables were impact time and survival of the egg. The controls were mass, design of the container, and the egg.

    ABSTRACT This paper scrutinises on the importance of agglutination reactions in clinical testing and diagnosis of various diseases. The ability of various antigens and antibodies to agglutinate when mixed in desired environment has been used as the basis to detect the presence of respective antigens in body. It focuses on importance of this method as it gives the results faster than various other methods and provides visible results. Diagnosis of various diseases can be done by this method provided the antibodies are present in blood, urine, plasma or fluid of bone marrow.
