"The Relationship of the Second Light Treatment to Cell Germination and Polarization in Ceratopteris Fern Spores" by Ao Liu

Abstract: This research about the Ceratopteris richardii fern spores, which is part of the Discovery Lab in Plant Biology course at UT Austin led by Dr. Stan Roux. We focused on the relationship between the second light treatment and germination as well as polarization of the spores. Several groups of students tested different amounts of light and darkness on the influence of germination rate and the gravity response of the germinated spores.
