Hydroponics research paper

This protocol describes the hydroponic system set up in detail and the preparation of plant material for successful experiments. Most of the materials described in this protocol can be found outside scientific supply companies, making the set up for hydroponic experiments less expensive and convenient.

Hydroponics isn’t a new practice; yet, it is somewhat of a new technology. This means that the principles behind hydroponics have been around for years, but the study of it has only been around recently.

Growing crops with hydroponics take up less space, requires less work, and are easy to harvest. Some of the disadvantages to using hydroponics are that plants will need to be supervised to insure they are growing properly.

In a hydroponic experiment, the symptoms and phenotypes of plants responding to different nutrient conditions represent the beginning of what could be extended into more elaborated analyses such as gene expression (transcriptomics) and protein abundance (proteomics).
