Hard Fescue (Festuca longifolia Thuill.) has potential for in
creased turf use but does not respond well to normal seed production
management practices in Oregon. Field burning (the normal residue
management practice) results in reduced seed yields in commercial hard
fescue seed production fields but stimulates seed production in Chewings...
Dihydroquercetin [(2,3-trans)-3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavanonol]
was shown to be the precursor to the phenolic
stains that often develop in Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga
menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] sapwood. Douglas-fir sapwood was
extracted with methanol and the methanol solubles were
fractionated by solvent partition, thin-layer chromatography,
silica-gel column chromatography, and Sephadex gelpermeation
chromatography. Tyrosinase, a commercially
available...
Alcoholic off-flavor and accompanying volatile compounds produced by bananas (Cavendishii spp) held at 20°C and subjected to aerobic (air control treatment) or anaerobic conditions (nitrogen treatment) were compared by solid phase micro extraction (SPME), a newly developed method for volatile separation. In general, volatile production was suppressed under anaerobic conditions...
Nursery plants are often harvested, stored, and shipped bare-root for easier and more economical handling. Some species of woody and herbaceous perennials are less tolerant of postharvest handling than others. Desiccation stress during the handling of bare-root plants has been identified as a major problem contributing to poor survival and...

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) have a large impact on undergraduate instruction but are often poorly prepared to teach. Teaching self-efficacy, an instructor’s belief in his or her ability to teach specific student populations a specific subject, is an important predictor of teaching skill...
Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, Cryptococcus laurentii, and Rhodotorula glutinis maintained populations averaging 5 x 10⁶ cfu/fruit...
