Why cardamine as a model system

Easy to culture and maintain.
It is found throughout India so can be easily collected and grown.
Closely relative of Arabidopsis thaliana. belongs to the family Brassicaceae mustard family.
Bears small flowers with distinguishable characteristics.
Can produce a large number of seeds even in a single plant itself.
It will germinate within 7 days.
And they having a very short life cycle(40 to 45 days).
It is a powerful model system for studying transgenic effects by a simple method called the floral dip method.

Objective - To determine effect of kanamycin on germination and growth rate of cardamine seeds.

Hypothesis - Cardamine seeds will germinate but will not grow in kanamycin medium at different concentrations.

Setup date - 20 September 2020

Design of experiment

Control - tap water ( seeds submerged in Tapwater )
Replicate - 2
No of seeds - 20 ( 10 seeds in each replicate)

Test - tap water + kanamycin antibiotic at different concentrations.

Stock solution of kanamycin antibiotic was
prepared by adding 1000mg of kanamycin in
1000ml of water ( 1litre ) . This stock solutionwas diluted at different concentrations. The dilutions are as
follows:
•10mg/L – 10ml of stock
solution + 990 ml of water.
• 30mg/L – 30 ml of stock solution +
970 ml of water.
• 50mg/L– 50ml of stock
solution + 950ml of water.
• 70mg/L – 70 ml of stock solution

  • 930ml of water.
    • 90mg/L – 90ml of stock solution + 910ml of water
    These dilution was used in test medium.

Replicates used for each concentration - 2
No of seeds - 20 seeds
