1. The characteristic of the Brassica Oleracea that seem to exhibit the most variation seems to be the leaves of our plant, more specifically the ratio between the leaf length and width. Our group went out into the garden to record and get data from our plant. We measured both the width of the Brassica Oleracea and the length of the leaves on the Brassica Oleracea (Both the Kale and Brussels Sprouts). We then found the the characteristic of leaf length had more variation than the height of Brassica Oleracea. (We found the following leaf lengths and widths and have them shown below) Leaf Length Plant 1: leaf 1 - 11,5 cm Plant 1: leaf 2 - 9.5 cm Plant 1: leaf 3 - 13.5 cm Plant 1: leaf 4 - 10.5 cm Plant 1: leaf 5 - 11 cm Plant 1: leaf average - 11.2 cm Plant 2: leaf 1 - 9.5 cm Plant 2: leaf 2 - 8 cm Plant 2: leaf 3 - 8.5 cm Plant 2: leaf 4 - 10 cm Plant 2: leaf 5 - 11 cm Plant 2: leaf average - 9.4 cm Plant 3: leaf 1 - 14.4 ...
W hile studying our Brassica oleracea plants in the WGHS GOLD Main Garden me and my team discovered and observed a lot about the plants. We found that the shape size and texture of the different plants varied in the garden the most. Some of the plants had smooth thick ruffled leaves, some had hairy ruffled leaves ,and some had hairy flat leaves. All of the leaves also varied in size along with texture and collected this data by observing and taking measurements from the Brassica oleracea in the garden. This is a picture of the plant #1 leaf. From the picture you can see that this leaf is very smooth and thick and doesn't have any hairs or spines. It is a lighter green color with a blue hue and is very ruffled especially around the plant leaves edges. We measured the length of this leaf and it came in at 13.3 cm which is bigger than some of the plants but not as big as the ones you will see later. This is a picture of the plant #2 leaf. This leaf is very ...
