A week of trials

Week 4: June 27 – July 1, 2011

Mostly this week was spent doing multiple trials of the control and the initial experimental conditions again. For the experimental conditions, the plants were exposed to methyl jasmonate. We did the control plants Monday and Tuesday and the experimental plants Wednesday and Thursday. Friday was catching up on data analysis.

The C-11 exportation and fixation results look really great! You can tell there is a significant change on the different time points in the controls and experimental conditions. Most of all, you can tell there is a significance between the controls and the experimental conditions. Furthermore, Dr. Ferrieri taught me how to calculate the above ground percentage of the plant from the images that I take during the study.
