Description
Gibberellin is a hormone found in many plants whose purpose is to promote the growth of stems and leaves. The application of gibberellin in differing concentrations was applied to different strains of dwarf mutant millet plants and was compared to a control of nonmutant wild-type millet plants. After the initial sprouting of each seed, 4 different concentrations of gibberellin: 0g gibberellin/1L water, 0.02g/L, 0.05g/L, and 0.15g/L, were applied to the stem of each plant. A regression analysis was performed on the heights of each plant to determine the effectiveness of the varying gibberellin concentrations on the growth of millet plants. The study will determine whether the highest concentration of gibberellin will encourage the growth of taller millet plants.
