Abstract:: A rapid and efficient procedure that required no partitioning was developed for the purification of abscisic acid (AbA) from the needles of Douglas-fir seedlings. Extracted needle pigments were removed by a PVP column and the eluted AbA was concentrated on a DEAE column. The AbA was eluted from the DEAE...

Creator:: Malavasi, Marlene de Matos
Abstract:: The physiological and biochemical responses of Douglas-fir seeds to stratification, redrying, storage and subsequent germination were determined. Stratification increased seed vigor, embryo and gametophyte phosphorylative efficiency and RNA synthetic ability. Redrying seems to increase the rate of enthryonic nucleic acid synthesis, speed of germination and seedling vigor. ATP, total adenosine...

Creator:: Graff, Joseph Edward
Abstract:: In study 111, four Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) stocktypes (1-0, 2-0 standard nursery run and low density bareroot seedlings, and 1 year old container stock) were outplanted in a randomized incomplete block design to an old field in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in a factorial experiment t4 stocktypes...

Creator:: Duryea, Mary L.
Abstract:: Chapter 1 Growth and Survival of Root-Wrenched Douglas-fir Seedlings Root wrenching of seedlings (severing the roots 15 cm below the soil surface) was investigated as a nursery practice to improve growth and survival of field-planted Douglas-fir from six local seed sources in the Pacific Northwest. At lifting, shoots of wrenched...

Creator:: Wolff, Scott
Abstract:: One of the largest problems facing the forester in the Pacific Northwest today is the economical, rapid rehabilitation of cut-over lands. Many of these cut-over lands are planted to Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco]. Previously, both aerial and spot seeding techniques have been evaluated for their efficiency in Douglas-fir regeneration....

Creator:: McClain, K. M.
Abstract:: Significant post planting mortality of young conifer seedlings often occurs on drought prone sites because seedlings fail to either establish, or maintain favourable water relations. Survival is contingent upon growth which occurs when turgor pressure is above a threshold level. Since growth after planting is influenced by nursery cultural practices,...
