  • Production of haploid plants in selected winter wheat genotypes through anther culture and intergeneric crosses with maize

    Creator:
    Mendoza, Maria Graciela
    Abstract:
    A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent a random sample of gametes from the parental...

  • Farmer perspectives on the transition to organic agriculture : an Oregon study of farmer motivations and barriers

    Creator:
    Lloyd, Deanna M.
    Abstract:
    In the midst of double-digit growth in market demand for organic products, there is a lag in the growth of certified organic production in the United States. This thesis investigated the motivations and barriers farmers face when making the transition to organic agriculture. Three distinct organic farmer typologies were identified:...

  • DNA fingerprinting and genome mapping in meadowfoam

    Creator:
    Katengam, Sureeporn
    Abstract:
    Marker information in the new oilseed crop, meadowfoam, is limited. Molecular markers to facilitate meadowfoam breeding and cultivar improvement are not available. The knowledge of genetic relationships among recent germplasm is not known. The objectives of this study were (i) to gain an understanding of genetic diversity and relationship patterns...

  • Molecular mechanisms underlying the high oleic acid phenotype in sunflower

    Creator:
    Schuppert, Gunnar Felix
    Abstract:
    Wildtype sunflower typically produces 12-24% oleic acid (18:1) and 70-82% linoleic acid (18:2). High-oleic sunflower, by contrast, produces up to 80-94% oleic acid. The monounsaturated oleic acid has a greater oxidative stability than the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, predominant in wildtype sunflower, and has greater nutritional benefits than polyunsaturated and saturated...
