About 50 volunteer wheat plants found in that field were tested and no genetically engineered plants were detected, he said.
A pot experiment was set up with wheat plants.
Wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Dacke) were grown in this study.
After germination, plants were reduced to 24 wheat plants per pot.
CeO2 nanoparticles were found to be translocated into pumpkin shoots but not in wheat plants.
The aphids are the most harmful insects that affect wheat plants.
After germination, the wheat plants were thinned out, leaving ten plants in each pot.
However, the CeO2 nanoparticles were translocated in pumpkin shoot but not in wheat plants.
Castor meal was used as an organic fertilizer for wheat plants (Gupta et al. 2004).
Selected potential isolates were further tested in pot experiment for their effect on wheat plants.
Effect of the size of rhizospheric bacterial populations on germination of seeds and development of simple terrestrial "wheat plants - rhizospheric microorganisms - artificial soil" and "wheat plants - artificial soil" systems has been studied.
