Student will design and implement a germination study surrounding the \u2018Gilo\u2019 varieties being grown in the trial. Student will produce a cited paper for each study, focusing on methodology and findings. Additionally, compare soil germination with&nbsp;a more controlled germination study of the five varieties with the addition of S. melongena &#8216;Orient Express&#8217;, in petrie dishes within a growth chamber. Orient Express is a variety which exhibits cold tolerance.&nbsp;Student will be involved in all aspects of field work including transplanting, field preparation, watering, measurements, and pest and disease management. In addition to meetings to discuss work with faculty, the student will post weekly progress to the project\u2019s WordPress ePortfolio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left\">Learning Objective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to design and&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>implement a germination&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>study of the varieties of S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>aethiopicum \u2018Gilo\u2019 being&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>grown for the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Activities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The student will design, implement, and document a germination study of the varieties being grown in the trial, utilizing the paper \u201cEnhancement of seed germination in the African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum)\u201d by Deonice Amini Mshida. Student will use Excel statistical analysis on collected data to produce a conclusive paper explaining the experiment&#8217;s parameters and findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Evaluation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A final report on the germination study\u2019s design, methodology, and outcomes.
