How does varying intensity of light impact the rate of cell division of Allium fistulosum? My independent variable will be the amount of light the onions are exposed to ( 0 watts, 40 watts, 100 watts). My dependent variable will be the mitotic index of samples taken from each of the germinated onions. This will be calculated using root tip squashes. Background Information: Allium fistulosum, commonly called the spring onion, is an evergreen perennial. Underground bulbs are approximately the same

Plausible cases of herb-drug interactions include: bleeding when warfarin is combined with ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), garlic (Allium sativum), danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) and decreased bioavailability of digoxin, theophylline, and cyclosporine when they are combined with St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) etc.,(Shu-feng et al., 2007).

Lab 4 Thoughtful Observation In this lab, we viewed Allium Root Tip and Whitefish Blastula cells under the microscope in order to view the different stages of Mitosis. The purpose of this activity was to visualize the process of cell reproduction, and the results of our experiment conclude that 44% of the Whitefish Blastula cells were in Prophase, 18% in Metaphase, 21% in Anaphase, and 17% in Telophase, so cells generally spend a longer amount of time in Prophase. The results of the lab showed that
However, a revered ayurvedic physician Yadavji Trikamji Acharya, suggested a different proportion of ingredients in preparation of ksheerapaka as 1:15:15.

Abstract: Our group was curious about the stages of the cell cycle in living tissue, generally and specifically in the meristematic cells of the root of garlic and hence considered the duration of the stages of mitosis in relation to the whole cell cycle and compared it to how mitosis was affected after applying petroleum jelly on the garlic root. The first part of the experiment was examining the normal cells of the garlic root and focusing on the shape and cell cycle of those cells. After considering
