The Effects of Calcium Nitrate on Arabidopsis Thaliana

Group 3

Our Hypotheses

(WTC vs. WTE) 1. If a low molarity of 1 mM of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) is added once weekly to a Wild-Type Experiment Arabidopsis thaliana, then the plant growth will increase compared to the Wild-Type Control, indicated by more siliques, the rosette diameter will grow, bolt height will grow, and the plant color will become more green on the Wild-Type Experiment.

(WTC vs. MC) 2. If a low molarity of 1 mM of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) is not added to Mutant Control Arabidopsis thaliana, and the Wild-Type Control Arabidopsis thaliana, then the Wild-Type Control will show more growth indicated by more siliques, the rosette diameter will be larger, bolt height will grow, and the plant color will become more green.

(WTC vs. ME) 3. If a low molarity of 1 mM of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) is added once weekly to a Mutant Experiment Arabidopsis thaliana, then the plant growth will increase compared to the Wild-Type Control indicated by more siliques, the rosette diameter will be larger, bolt height will grow, and the plant color will become more green.
