Taisei Succeeds in Germinating Water Plant Seeds Buried in Lake and Pond.Tokyo, Japan, Feb 3, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Construction company Taisei announced on February 1 that it has developed a technique to promote the germination germination, in a seed, process by which the plant embryo within the seed resumes growth after a period of dormancy and the seedling emerges. The length of dormancy varies; the seed of some plants (e.g. and growth of buried water plant seeds. In collaboration with the Faculty of Horticulture at Chiba University Chiba University (千葉大学 Chiba Daigaku , the company has succeeded in germinating buried seeds collected in Lake Inbanuma, Chiba. Specifically, the new technique, which regulates temperature conditions, can germinate buried seeds in a tank. In the experiment, the two partners germinated and grew three submerged plants: water nymph nymph, in Greek mythology nymph (nĭmf), in Greek mythology, female divinity associated with various natural objects. It is uncertain whether they were immortal or merely long-lived. There was an infinite variety of nymphs. , tape grass and charophyceae. In particular, water nymph and charophyceae are designated as endangered species endangered species, any plant or animal species whose ability to survive and reproduce has been jeopardized by human activities. In 1999 the U.S. government, in accordance with the U.S. and listed in the Red Data Book of Japan published by the Ministry of the Environment. The new technique has demonstrated the feasibility of repopulating rare water plants from buried seeds. Further, it will contribute to the rehabilitation of waterfront environments. Going forward, Taisei will further proceed with research on waterfront environment preservation. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
