To determine the effect of bud pollination, compared to pollination
of open flowers and crossing, on field characteristics of broccoli progenies,
an experiment was conducted in 1974 and 1975 at Corvallis, Oregon.
Single plants of 55 broccoli lines were pollinated, using four methods,
i.e. bud pollination (BP), open flower pollination...
Twenty-eight bean breeding lines and cultivars were classified
for resistance to bean yellow mosaic virus type strain 7634 (BYMV)
and severe strain Gilbert 6 (BYMV-S). 'Great Northern U.I. 31'
(G.N. 31) and breeding lines (S-lines) selected from a cross between
G.N. 31 and O.S.C. 21 were chosen as parents for...
The inheritance mode of pea-resistance to the Lentil
Strain of Pea Seedborne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV-L) was
studied. In addition, commercial pea cultivars, Plant
Introduction (P.I.) lines and Oregon State University
(OSU) breeding lines were tested for susceptibility to
this virus. These lines were also tested for their
reaction to Bean...
An inbred cabbage line (Brassica oleracea L. (Capitata group))
and an inbred broccoli line (B. oleracea L. (Italica group)) were
crossed. F₁ progeny were vigorous annuals. Of 3,260 F₂ plants, 250
were biennials and 70 developed cabbage heads. Of these 70, 32 were
annuals. Days to first visible buds of...
The easy picking characteristic, expressed as low pod detachment force (PDF),
offers a way to decrease pod damage in bush green beans mechanically harvested for
processing and fresh market, and makes hand picking easier and faster. This study was
undertaken to examine inheritance in a cross of two green bean...
To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
