History of the African Violet:
The African Violet is a very common houseplant. African Violets, are also known as, Saintpaulia Ionantha. The African Violet was founded in 1892 in Northeast Tanga and German East Africa. The man who found the plants was named, Saint Paul. Once Saint Paul found them, he gave some to his father who lived in Germany. Once people began to see these plants, it quickly became a trend. The African Violet plants stayed in the Europe area for about two years, before eventually making its way over to the United States. There are many different colors of African Violets that can be derived from the original cultivar. The African Violet has a neat construction of the leaves on the outside of the plant and the flowering parts in the middle. The flowering part in the middle is the part that can be changed through a cultivar. The different colored flowers are, red blue, purple, lavender, pink, white, or a combined color. African Violets are easy to maintain but they need the right environment to grow in. The most important thing with the environment is that the temperature has to be relatively in the 70-80 degree area for the daytime, and has to have high humidity. Another suitable thing about African Violets are that they can handle a lot of shade. This means that the African Violet plants cannot have too much light or else they will not grow as healthy (ag.auburn).
This African Violet is one that is a house plant. As you can see the flowering plant in the purple and the leaves.
Propagation Methods used for African Violets:
African Violets, just like any other plants, have many ways that they can be propagated. They can be propagated through leaf cuttings, or by tissue culture. Leaf cuttings are a very easy...

7. After the Incubator: After the plant has grown in the incubator, and you see shoots and roots then you can transfer the plant to only a little soil, or none. Then as time goes on slowly give it soil, light, and lower the humidity (Biotech).
- Methods practiced during a lab session like the one Horticulture 202 did in Lab Week 7.
Conclusion: African Violets are such a great plant to have as a houseplant. There are different ways to propagate this plant, by a leaf cutting, or by tissue culture. Tissue culture is becoming more and more popular each and every year. African Violets need to be in a greenhouse at very warm temperatures and need shaded. This common houseplant is becoming more and more popular as the years go on.
The first reason Amos should not have bought Violet is that she cost a lot, She cost a lot to purchase, She also stole his money,And Amos would need to double clothing buy a new house and feed more people than he is use to,
Brassica rapa is a mustard plant that can be found throughout North America, and is common in areas undergoing extreme change, such as changes in climate. There is an important relationship between the ecological and genetic factors that influence the growth of Brassica rapa (Mitchell-Olds 1996). So, the environmental elements, as well as the genetic information, are essential to the growth rate and survival of Brassica rapa. This plant is capable of reproducing quickly, and the root systems are usually quite small, although some Brassica rapa have developed larger root systems (Mitchell-Olds 1996). This plant is commonly used in experiments because of its ability to germinate rapidly. Brassica rapa is capable of sprouting within a stage of about two weeks, and this trait allows scientists to perform experiments in a short period of time.
Violet is a very cute, feminine name which fits the character’s role as the femme in the lesbian relationship. One could accentuate the fact that whenever Violet is away from Caesar, she appears to be less feminine. Also, whenever Violet is talking to men, her voice becomes high-pitched which seemingly makes her vulnerable ensuring her to be taken care of. This can be seen in many scenes from the film especially the scene where Caesar opens the briefcase and finds nothing in it except a stack of newspapers. Caesar asks “Where could the money be?” Violet replies with her...
Orchids are the most common plant in the Amazon. There about 25,000 to 30,000 species of Orchids. Orchids can live in every continent except antarctica and the arctic because its too cold for the Orchids in the antarctic and the arctic. Some Orchids grow bigger than a dinner plate that you eat off of. Orchids scientific name is Orchidaceae. Dactylorhiza fuchsii are the most common species of all Orchids. There are no known poisonous Orchids but since there are so many species that is virtually impossible to test all of them. Since Orchids are very common i don’t know...

Kalanchoe is part of the Crassulaceae plant family, which includes relatives such as Jade and Stonecrop. A native of Madagascar, the plant requires sun and a well-drained, light soil, one suitable for cacti. There are over 125 species of the Kalanchoe tropical plants, only one species of the crassulaceae family originates from the America, 56 from southern & eastern Africa and 60 species in Madagascar. They are also found in south-eastern Asia and China. The name Kalanchoe comes from a phonetic transcription of the Chinese words 'Kalan Chauhuy' meaning "that which falls and grows", likely in reference to the plantlets that drop from many of the species but others believe it from the ancient Indian words 'kalanka' meaning "spot" or "rust" and 'chaya' meaning "glossy" in reference to the reddish glossy leaves of the Indian species Kalanchoe. It is typically grown indoors as a houseplant which requires warm temperatures from 60 to 85 degrees and is very sensitive to the cold. Too high or low temperature may cause flower to die. Kalanchoe are naturally spring bloomers. When grown outside the plant thrives on most soils. Use a soil made of equal parts of coarse sand and good potting soil or compost with a tablespoon of dry manure. Kalanchoe has dark green, thick waxy leaves with scallop-edges and small four-petal flowers, while other Crassulacae have five. If the plant is over watered it will cause the root to rot, the soil should dry slightly between watering. Kalanchoe only needs one light application of fertilizer each year with minimal care and grows about 12 inches tall. The flowering occurs within four months after exposure to six weeks of fourteen hour nights. Kalanchoe can be re-bloom next season if it is cared for correctly. A...
The Brassica rapa plants were bred to live in the colder states of America, such as Michigan and Wisconsin. Up there they have very few times it is actually warm enough for plant growth. So to take advantage of those few short moments, Dr. Williams bred a ...
The cultures were maintained at 25±20C under 16 hr illumination of 4000 lux intensity. The results are presented in Table 1, it can be seen from the data that pH of the medium had significant effect not only on regeneration frequency but also on number of shoots developed in each culture. Maximum 62.5±4.7 percent cultures in CoS 98259 and 67.3±4.9 percent in CoS 767 developed shoots at pH 6.0 while regeneration frequency was the lowest at pH 5.6. An increase in pH form 6.0 to 6.2 and 6.4 reduced the frequency of shoot regeneration from the callus (Table
Taxonomically, Atropa belladona is classified in the Solanaceae, a family that also includes the common potato, tobacco and chile pepper. This species probably came originally from southern Europe and Asia, but is today naturalized in many parts of the world. The plant itself stands between two and six feet in height. Its green berries change to a shiny purplish-black as the plant matures. Some people say the berry is sweet and others say its bitter tasting, but all agree that the size is like the common cherry. To many, the entire plant has a very nauseating odor. The plant also has a thick root, a five-lobed calyx, leaves that are simple, ovate and alternate, and solitary bell shaped flowers.
This experiment was performed to test two hypotheses concerning the plant hormone gibberellic acid and a mutant rosette shaped phenotype of the plant Brassica rapa. This experiment was done in order to test the effects o gibberellic acid on plants and its effect on rosette shaped complexes. The two hypotheses in this experiment are as follows: Hypothesis number one states that Gibberellic acid allows for stem elongation in plants. Hypothesis number two. The rosette complex in the rosette phenotype plant contains less gibberellic acid naturally and therefore grows shorter.
In the short stories, Marigolds by Eugenia Collier, and The Bet by Anton Chekhov, both Lizabeth and the Lawyer, along with their understanding of life, are similar, as well as very different. While both Lizabeth and the Lawyer develop a deeper understanding and knowledge of their situations by the end of each story, the processes that lead them to these realizations are very different, as race, gender, and social class all play a role in how the two characters develop.
The aim of the experiment is to better understand the process and stages of mitosis. Prepare specimens of onion root in order to visualize all stages of mitosis, and estimate the relative length of each stage of mitosis.

These flowers also have a wide range of colors; white, yellow, blue, pink, and red. They are bisexual and may either be protogynous, perigynous, or epigenous flowers. The flowers themselves have many stamen and petals depending on the genera that it is a part of. From research the main parts of the flowers that are investigated are the initiation of stamen, sepals, carpels and petals of the flower and also the phyllotaxy or arrangement of the petals and sepals of the flower. Initiation is the way the stamen can be inside of the flower. The initiations of stamens are simultaneously multi-whorled and those of carpels are simultaneously single-whorled in the Nymphaeaceae family (Guang-Wan and others, 2009 ). Furthermore, there are other characteristics of this family that make them quite interesting and this is due to the fact of their blooming and size. This flower can bloom night or day, Nymphaea genera does both, and will become dormant after each blooming and can become up to 15 inches wide, those are mainly found in the Victoria genera. The most important part of the flower is reproduction and pollination. These two actions are different than in other flowering plants because they are submerged in
