Plant Blog post #3

We started to pollinate our flowers by getting pollin from the anther and putting it on the stigma. The effect of pollinating is this, right above our flowers we are seeing the anther get bigger. This happens when the pollen travels down the stigma to create seed pods. What has happened is just the first stage before it releases the seeds.

 

Our controlled plant has been growing little by little but mostly been producing seeds. The plant probably hasn’t been growing as much because the plant is mostly focusing on producing seeds or that the plant has grown quite a lot so the plant might not grow anymore. Maybe it has reached its maximum height. The manipulated plant has not been growing much since we took away a variable (air) from the plant. It looks like plants need air to survive.

 

I think that soon enough, our controlled plant will move to the next stage of producing seeds, (which is producing the seeds and then releasing them.) As for the manipulated plant, i think it’s going to stay as it is for now.
