The detailed plan for altering the plant's growth and reproductive characteristics. Introduction: Plant breeders play key role by focusing on desirable traits with great potential to increase plant yield. Hence, new technologies must be developed to accelerate breeding through improving genotyping and phenotyping methods and by increasing the genetic diversity in breeding germplasm. Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) is a marker technology used for specific phenotype chromosomal banding, a particular DNA or RNA motif, or a chemical tag that associates with the desired trait.

An introduction provides a reader with information about the importance and purpose of the Brassica rapa plant. It should be 4-6 paragraphs long. Provide a general background about Brassica rapa, and properly cite sources in the text Discuss why scientists would be interested in studying Brassica rapa, and discuss the importance of understanding Brassica rapa growth and how it can be applied to other scientific fields. Compare and contrast Brassica rapa growth and development with other organisms. Include any previous research on the effects of the variables chosen to manipulate in the Brassica rapa experiment. Include a hypothesis of Brassica rapa, as well as briefly state how to test a hypothesis and give dependent and independent variables.

You have been chosen as the lead student gardener for the CSUMB Future Farmers of America Club (FFAC). Your club is looking to you and your Bio211 plant experience to guide them. You arrive at the new FFAC garden plots where your club mates show you their cherry tree that they've been having trouble with. Originally, its leave would change color and fall off the tree, as expected, in the autumn. However, more recently the leaves started changing color and falling off in the spring time. Which hormone does the tree likely have in excess and why?
