Although differences between selective pressures in hatcheries
and streams have been theorized to cause genetic divergence between
hatchery and wild salmonids, evidence of this is lacking. This study
was initiated to document the presence or absence of genetic change
in hatchery and wild stocks by characterizing genetic traits in fish...
Boron deficiency or toxicity can reduce yield and
quality of vegetables. Seven vegetable crops, varying from
low to high boron requirements were grown in field plots at
Corvallis in 1987. Leaf-B and yield components of green
bean, cucumber, potato, carrot, tomato, broccoli and table
beet were examined under conditions of...
