The area of horticulture that involves scientists working with a variety of plant types, including landscape plants, turfgrasses, and woody plants, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Horticulture Research
The chemical equation for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water + sunlight --> sugar + oxygen
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
When a seed coat is physically weakened through the use of heat, abrasion, or chemicals to start germination
