Effect of row cover and supplemental Ca fertilization on blossom-end rot in bell pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum, Grossom Group)

Creator:: Alexander, Shara E.
Abstract:: A 2-year trial was conducted at Oregon State University's Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center to examine the effects of spunbonded row cover and supplemental calcium fertilization on blossom-end rot in two varieties of bell pepper. Blossom-end rot is a common cause of bell pepper yield losses, especially at the...

Modeling of dormancy and cold hardiness in red-osier dogwood (Cornus sericea L.)

Creator:: Kobayashi, Kent
Abstract:: Effects of temperature and growth stage on vegetative bud development and stem hardiness of red-osier dogwood during winter dormancy were investigated. Results were related to a degree growth stage model and were used to develop models to predict growth stages, to quantify development, and to predict hardiness. Maximum rest development...

Delay of anthesis in 'Bartlett' and 'Bosc' pears (Pyrus communis) by evaporative cooling

Creator:: Collins, Margaret Dorothy
Abstract:: The influence of evaporative cooling for delay of 'Bartlett' and 'Bosc' fruit bud development for frost avoidance was investigated. Two mist systems, one in a mature pear orchard and the other in a young pear hedgerow, delayed 'Bartlett' and 'Bosc' bloom up to 15 and 8 days respectively. A low...

Identification of cytokinin reductase in Phaseolus embryos

Creator:: Martin, Ruth C.
Abstract:: A critical balance of hormones is necessary for normal plant development. Therefore, precise mechanisms must exist to maintain proper levels of cytokinins, a group of hormones regulating cell division and differentiation. Structural modifications of the naturally occurring cytokinin, zeatin; including the oxidation, O-glycosylation and reduction of the N⁶-side chain; may...

The need to breed crop varieties suitable for organic farming using wheat, tomato and broccoli as examples: A review

Creator:: Lammerts van Bueren, E. T., Jones, S. S., Tamm, L., Murphy, K. M., Myers, J. R., Leifert, C., and Messmer, M. M.
Abstract:: It is estimated that more than 95% of organic production is based on crop varieties that were bred for the conventional high-input sector. Recent studies have shown that such varieties lack important traits required under organic and low-input production conditions. This is primarily due to selection in conventional breeding programmes...

Effect of maturity and storage on quality of "Gala," "Braeburn," and "Fuji" apples

Creator:: Plotto, Anne
Abstract:: In apples, the rapid changes occurring in fruit metabolism when approaching maturity affect their quality at harvest and after storage. The interest in the newly introduced cultivars, 'Gala', 'Braeburn' and 'Fuji' has initiated the following study on maturity indices and storage in the conditions of the Pacific Northwest. 'Gala', 'Braeburn'...

Frost hardiness of buds, flowers and fruit of pear (Pyrus communis L.)

Creator:: Strang, John George
Abstract:: Spring frost damage to pears in the Pacific Northwest frequently results in substantial crop losses. This research was undertaken to investigate the effects of frost on pear buds, flowers, and fruit through controlled freezing tests and field studies in order to better understand the frost phenomenon and refine frost protection...
