The biosynthesis and metabolism of (-)-kaurene in cell-free extracts of immature pea seeds

Creator:

Coolbaugh, Ronald Charles, 1944-

Abstract:

Procedures were developed for assaying the biosynthesis of (-)- kaurene-¹⁴C and other intermediates in gibberellin (GA) synthesis from mevalonic acid-¹⁴C in cell-free enzyme extracts of immature pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) seeds. This system was utilized to investigate three aspects of GA biosynthesis: (1) apparent capacities for (-)-kaurene biosynthesis...

Alfalfa cutting management in the Columbia Basin

Creator:

Suttner, Donald Lee

Abstract:

Field studies to determine appropriate cutting management regimes consistent with yield, quality, and persistence of stand were conducted on several alfalfa varieties in the Columbia Basin region of Oregon. Two groups of treatments, including consecutive cuts at the same stage of maturity and cuts made at varying maturities, were imposed...
