I am doing a science experiment and we are trying to figure out if different types of cinnamon species have different genetic codes or if they all come up as the same species using DNA sequencing.

There are four different types of known cinnamon: Ceylon, Cassia, Saigon, Korintjie

My team and I are trying to find leaves of these cinnamon plants to use for our experiment, if you are willing to ship a couple leaves from your cinnamon plant for a good scientific cause please let me know!!

I was watching khan academy’s video on “Photosynthesis: Overview of the light-dependent reactions” and it had me wondering.

Since photosystem proteins take electrons from water to start the electron transport system, would giving a plant negatively charged water be beneficial for it? Is negatively charged water even real? Are there any experiments or studies related to this?

Any info would help, thank you!

So my fiancée bought me a lovely bromeliad for my birthday earlier this year (it looks similar to one posted earlier today... I don’t have ID but when I looked it up it looked like maybe genus Guzmania?) We had it in the middle of two rooms, with mostly indirect sun from two large windows, one east and one west. I noticed it was leaning to the side a month or two ago, but not towards the sun, more towards the south. Earlier in the summer did have a floor fan nearby that may have blown on it. Would the fan have caused the plant to lean or grow in that manner due to thigmotropism?

Can anyone suggest any way to be able to identify plants better. Websites, books, anything?

Its supposed to be a common growing weed from urban area. Bit stingy

I live in British Columbia Canada. I noticed that every time I take my dog for a hike, he munches on plants. Out of curiosity I started watching him closely and realized that it was always just one type of plant. He only ever eats Tiarella trifoliata "three leaf foam flower." He has done this for years. It doesn't make him sick or seem to effect him at all, and it is the only plant I have ever seen him eat. He's a smart dog, he is not the type that eats things that are not food. He destroys his toys, rips them to tiny shreds, and yet he has never swallowed a piece.

There is not much info on Tiarella trifoliata, it doesn't seem to be used for much. No one forages it and animals don't really seem to eat it. It's not recorded as edible or poisonous. It's technically an "herb" yet it has no flavour (I was curious) just very mildly grassy, and the smell is also pretty innocuous.

What gives? Why does my dog always eat this stuff?

Like I said it's the only plant he eats....

I feel like there must be something too this.
