  • Genetics of low erucic acid and cytological analyses of wide hybrids in meadowfoam

    Creator:
    Gandhi, Sonali Dilip
    Abstract:
    Cultivated meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) is an annual oil seed crop native to southern Oregon. California and British Columbia. The genus Limnanthes is composed of nine species and divided into two sections, Inflexae and Reflexae. The seed oil of meadowfoam is a rich source of erucic acid and several novel...

  • Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying genome-wide recombination rate and mating system differences in meadowfoam

    Creator:
    Kishore, Venkata Krishna
    Abstract:
    Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Bentham; Order: Brassicales; Family: Limnanthaceae) is a self-compatible, predominantly allogamous, insect pollinated species. Meadowfoam oil is a source of novel unsaturated very-long-chain (VLC) seed oils (C₂₀ and C₂₂) with low concentrations of saturated fatty acids (typically less than 2%) and outstanding oxidative stability. Here we report the...

  • Effects of lactofen herbicide on cellular uptake of glyphosate herbicide in malva parviflora L.

    Creator:
    Wells, Barbara Heard
    Abstract:
    Time-course growth chamber studies were conducted on little mallow (Malva parviflora L.) to determine whether sublethal doses of lactofen (1'-(carboethoxy)ethyl-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2- nitrobenzoate) would enhance uptake of glyphosate (N'-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) by altering membrane permeability. Lactofen-induced membrane peroxidation was determined by harvesting leaf discs, measuring stress ethylene evolution, and recording increases in...
