THE EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTS OF HERBAL EXTRACTS ON BREAST CANCER CELLS.
John. Doe*, Mary Doe, Brenda Johnson, Jerry Jakes, and Kelly Ring.
ADVISOR: Prof. William O. White, Department of Biology
Biological stress is any change in environmental conditions that might reduce or adversely change an organism’s growth or development. Drought is one of many environmental stresses that crop plants may encounter. Prolonged periods without water can severely reduce crop vigor, and ultimately reduce crop yield. This reduction in yield is often times transferred to the consumer as higher prices. Our lab is screening of soybean for drought tolerance. The cultivars used in the study are Forrest and Hutcheson. The plants grew in 0.0, 0.4 and 0.8% NaCl for seven days. At the end of the seven-day exposure period, the total length, root length and root weight are recorded. The analyses of the results with ANOVA helped in determining the cultivar tolerant to salt. In comparing cultivars Forrest and Hutcheson, we found that Hutcheson is more tolerant than Forrest.
