Gristlessness

Treading water mainly

Figure 1. Elongation rate verus time for six roots transplanted onto 300 nM oryzalin at time zero. Each root shown in a different color, and each curve is the average of three replicate measurements.

Time course, round 1

Lots of graphs! An experiment that is more than fiddling with the system. Actual data!

Figure 1. Root growth rate vs time for roots that had been inserted into the agar at time zero. Data for each root shown in a given color.

Outlaw of averages

In which irregularity behind an average is unmasked.

Figure 1. Time course of root elongation rate versus time for 6 maize roots. Each root has a different color.

Agar shelf holding up

A brief comment about repetition.

Fig. 1. Diagram of the setup for experimenting with roots in agar. Seeds will be set up for germination with doofuses on Kimwipes (not shown). Agar will be poured into a plate with a Plexiglas divider (blue slab, left). When later removed, there will be a shelf of agar, into which roots can be inserted (right). The shelf will hold the seedlings. I hope!

Drip drip drip

In which the slow and careful progress of trial and error drips and drips.

One version of the maize ghost. Taken from here: http://card-wa.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost_of_Maize. I have no idea about the original context (!) but the image fits.

The pause that refreshes

A scary post featuring a poltergeist!
