Key points:

  1. we have two Hypothesis: A. Fruit Flies prefer the less wet area to the more wet area.
    OR
    Fruit flies prefer the less wet periphery than the wet area between the bait and the periphery
    B. More fruit flies at periphery becuase of fermented product and less in between zone(tomato and
    periphery) because of alcohol + water
    OR
    Fruit flies accumulate at the periphery pn account of a factor present in greater concentration there than in
    the zone between the bait and the periphery
  2. Concentration of Fermented product would be more on the tomato or on the paper??
  3. Or that concentration of fermented product is less on the periphery?
    References:
    Seed dormancy in Arabidopsis can be overcome by germination promoting factors such as after-
    ripening, light, cold treatment (also called stratification). Furthermore applied chemicals such as
    gibberellins and KNO3 (Derkx and Karssen, 1993a; Alboresi et al. 2005; Ali-Rachedi et al. 2004), NO
    (Bethke et al., 2007b) also have germination promoting effects (Fig. 1). None of these environmental
    factors are an absolute requirement for germination because the need for one factor depends on the other
    factors, as shown for the interaction between light and temperature by Cone and Spruit (1983

CUBE Chatshaala on 13th August 2020.

Continuing from the hypothesis put forward and discussed yesterday, another CUBist made a hypothesis on the same context of why are fruit flies sitting on the periphery (mark made by the dried tomato juice/liquid) and not on the tomato?
We had principles of chromatography being used in an experiment performed at a CUBists’ home lab.


A glimpse of the data presented by CUBists working on the model system, Cardamine. Here, the discussion was on an experiment on the germination rate of the old and new Cardamine seeds under manipulated conditions.

37 CUBists from 34 centres joined the webinar.
