Permanganates and Plant Growth

Plant growth and cultivation.

There is a variety of methods used for growing plants indoor for laboratory research. In most cases plant research requires germination and growth of plants. Often, people have adapted plant cultivation protocols to the conditions and materials at hand in their own laboratory and growth facilities. Here I will provide a guide for growing some of the most frequently used plant species for resear...

Response of Germination and Seedling Growth of Pepper cultivars to Seed Priming by Plant Growth Regulators

In order to study the germination and growth of pepper seeds, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted. The first factor was consisting of five cultivars of pepper (Marquiza, Cadia, California Wonder, California Wonder 310 and California Wonder 300) and the second factor was gibberellic acid with three levels (0 as control, 250 and 500...

Modeling plant growth and development.

Computational plant models or 'virtual plants' are increasingly seen as a useful tool for comprehending complex relationships between gene function, plant physiology, plant development, and the resulting plant form. The theory of L-systems, which was introduced by Lindemayer in 1968, has led to a well-established methodology for simulating the branching architecture of plants. Many current arch...

Plant Cell Growth and Elongation

The plant cell wall is a strong material that resists expansion when water is taken up by the protoplast; for cells to expand irreversibly, the existing wall architecture must be loosened to permit the insertion of newly synthesized wall polymers. Biochemical approaches have identified changes in wall composition that occur during growth and some of the enzymes involved in wall loosening, whils...
