Estimates of heritability and associations of tiller number,
seed number, seed weight, and seed yield were determined in two
groups of tall fescue. Group E was early maturing and had eight
parental clones, while group I was intermediate in maturity and had
nine parental clones. The parents and five progeny...
In order to properly model the temperature distribution of a nuclear fuel pin, the thermal conductivity
of the fuel must be known. For sphere pac fuel, the
modeling of the conductivity is complicated due to the
fact that the fuel is a collection of spheres in a random packed bed....
The objectives of this study were (a) to measure the amount
of cross-pollination caused by three bee species at 10, 20 and 40
rods distance from a foreign pollen source, (b) to measure the effects
of bee species, planting pattern and season on broad sense heritability
estimates for seed yield...
Six parent clones and their 15 single-crosses of tall fescue (Festuca arundinaceae, Schreb) were row-planted in Corvallis, Oregon, row and sward-planted in Columbia, Missouri, and evaluated for genetic variability, genotyp-eenvironment interactions and interrelationships in acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), hemicellulose (HCL), crude protein (CP) and in vitro...
