The effect of O2 partial pressure on the germination and the respiration of 12 cultivated species was studied. The reciprocal of the time necessary to observe rootlet emergence in 50% of the seeds was ...
1. There is a notable increase in the respiration rate of dry seeds during the first day of subjection to favorable germinative conditions in the respirometer. 2. After this initial increases, the ...
Rice grown for seed rice was the focus of a yearlong investigation by the Arkansas Rice Processing Program using X-ray ...
Happy Earth Day! Get outside, breathe in the fresh air ( while social distancing) and appreciate our amazing planet. Or you can try this germination experiment. Did you know you can grow a bean in a ...
In 2021, MSU plant biologist Lars Brudvig dug for one of the Beal bottles to continue the seed germination study, first done by Wiiliam J. Beal in the 19th century. For nearly 150 years, researchers ...
A respirometer can be used to investigate the effect of, for example, changing the temperature on the rate of respiration. The diagram shows a respirometer set up which is being used to measure the ...
Germination close germinationThe process where seeds sprout and begin to grow. occurs when a new plant grows out from a seed. All seeds require three conditions for successful germination: Water ...
