Arabidopsis Update

Here is the update for my arabidopsis growth. It still seems to me that the plants in 10% D2O are doing better than the plants in DDW. I’ll have to make a huge purchase of D2O and DDW (still don’t understand why DDW is more expensive than D2O since one is a by product of the other) and try lower concentrations of deuterium (like 0-10% amounts).

Notice that the seeds in 99% D2O germinated (mostly likely due to D-exchange), but haven’t grown in 3 weeks.

I wanted to take images of the root growth, but my camera couldn’t see clearly enough in the agar to take decent pictures.
