back Propagation Environment $200 A micaceous mineral that absorbs water yet allows drainage; contains magnesium and potassium and when moistened is easily compressed

back Propagation Environment $400 The most widely used structured sheet material today for greenhouses providing 90% light transmission

back Propagation Environment $600 The state change of water to vapor in air

back Propagation Environment $800 The ability of soil per unit bulk volume to hold water

back Propagation Environment $1000 A photomorphogenic receptor functioning as a biological switch turning responses on and off

back Seeds $200 Seeds that are unable to withstand maturation drying

back Seeds $400 A mechanical or chemical treatment process that allows water to penetrate seeds with a hard seed coat

back Seeds $600 Appears positive in the presence of dehydrogenase enzymes involved in respiration

back Seeds $800 Type of dormancy in which the radicle emerges and develops in the first season after planting but the plumule does not emerge until the second season

back Seeds $1000 Seed production of new plants without mixing of gametes

back Cuttings $200 Stem cutting of a deciduous plant taken from dormant, mature wood in late fall, winter or early spring, after the leaves have abscised.

back Cuttings $400 Root that develops on a cutting only after the cutting is made, in response to the wounding effect in preparing the cuttings.

back Cuttings $600 A plant hormone, natural or artificially applied, that is a requirement for initiation of adventitious roots.

back Cuttings $800 Plant or plant part made up of two or more genetically distinct tissues growing adjacent to one another.

back Cuttings $1000 The capability of previously developed, differentiated cells to return to a meristematic condition and develop a new growing point.

back Grafting/Budding $200 The top part of the grafted plant or the portion that is to become the top of the grafted plant.

back Grafting/Budding $400 A type of grafting in which the scion consists of only one bud, a small section of bark, and a piece of wood.

back

Grafting/Budding $600 The proximal end of a scion is attached to the distal end of the stock to change the scion of an established planting.

back Grafting/Budding $800 Relatively simple and economical production no transmission of viruses, and sometimes deeper and more firmly anchored roots are advantages of this class of rootstock.

back Grafting/Budding $1000 The tendency for some plants to become reproductive sooner than others of the same kind.

back Micropropagation $200 Cell division of non- differentiated parenchyma cells

back Micropropagation $400 The potential for each living cell to reproduce an entire organism

back Micropropagation $600 Adenine-based compound used in multiplication stage of micropropagation

back Micropropagation $800 Developmental stage of micropropagation where cells shift from heterotrophic to autotrophic condition

back Micropropagation $1000 Development of embryos from vegetative cells rather than from union of male and female gametes
