Gibberellic Acid And Rosette Dwarf Flowers

The combined influence of gibberellic acid and amount of sunlight plays an important role in the development of plants. This study is aimed at the model effectiveness evaluation concerning the speed of development of wild type and Rosette Dwarf flowers. The group of flowers were divided into 4 different categories; wild type plants were split into the controlled and experimental group, and the same was done for Rosette Dwarf. The subgroups were formed based on what growth hormone each plant received or didn’t receive. Then the plants were measured each week by how high they grew, and the amount of flowers opened. During the controlled examination, both flowers received extra water, which made up for the amount of water in the gibberellic acid, which was given to the experimental group. After collecting data, the controlled examination allowed us to determine the full effect …show more content…

There were many physical differences between the mutant fast plant and the wild type fast plants. As shown on the graph above, the wild type plants grew bigger and fast tean the mutants. Along with height, the wild type fast plants opened more flowers. For the experimental group, we applied the gibberellic acid on the intersection of the leaves and stems. For the controlled group, the plants had received more water to balance out the amount water given to the experimental group, which was in the acid. We specifically used gibberellic acid to show an increase in plant growth, measuring in centimeters. What surprised us most is that the GA did not have an effect on the Rosette Dwarf plants until week 3. There was an increase of growth towards the end, which raises the question as to why. Why did it take so long? How much time does it take for the gibberellic acid to kick in and affect cell division? It allows us to raise more questions and continue with our
