Day 13: September 22, 2025
Today was the first day of measurments for the plants. Only the rosettes have grown so far, so that is the only thing that was measured. The mutant plants are slightly larger than the wild type plants. They have not been treated yet, so there are no control and experimental group differences. Today was the first day of treament for the plants; four drops of the 0.11M solution was added to each of the experimental pots.
Day 17: September 26, 2025
Day 17: September 26, 2025
Today, the rosette widths and bolt heights were measured. Most of the plants have started bolting, even if they are very small. Only one of the mutant plants has not started bolting. There was some white and green mold-like growth on the soil of some of the plants. The plants were bottom watered with distilled water today to rehydrate the soil and give the plants some much needed water.
Day 20: September 29, 2025
Day 20: September 29, 2025
Today, the bolt heights and the rosette widths were measured. The experimental group was treated with four drops of Urea for each pot. The bolt heights had a drastic increase compared to Day 17 when they were last measured. It was observed that a noticeable amount of green mold has begun growing on the plants. The rosette leaves on wild type experimental 1 are turning yellow, and mutant experimental 2 is turning purple. When a plant starts to purple it can be inferred that it is stressed.

Day 24: October 3, 2025
Today, the rosettes and bolt heights were measured. The siliques are visible now, but they are still growing. After measuring and observing the plants, they were watered.
Day 27: October 6,2025
Day 27: October 6,2025
Today, the plants were measured and watered. While measuring, a multitude of color changes were noticed. The majority of the wild type plants turned brown. The wild types turned brown due to most of the energy being used to produce more siliques.
Day 31: October 10,2025
Day 31: October 10,2025
Today, the rosette widths, bolt heights, and silique counts were measured and watered for the last time. There was an increase in color change on the rosettes due to allocating nutrients to seed pots. The yellow and brown spots indicate that the plant is aging and could have disease. A disease could have easily come from issues with the water, but more research is required. The mutants appear to be more stressed likely due to the deleted AAP6 gene.
