Environmental biology of Eriosoma pyricola Baker and Davidson

Creator:: Sethi, Satnam Lal
Abstract:: A method of culturing Eriosoma pyricola on detached root pieces was developed to ensure a regular supply of aphids for experimental work. Another method was designed for studying the alate sexuparae formation in woolly pear aphid, whereby growing plants were infested so that the aphids or their progeny could be...

Biology and downstream drift of some Oregon Ephemeroptera

Creator:: Lehmkuhl, Dennis Merle, 1942-
Abstract:: Six species of Ephemeroptera were studied in two sample areas in Western Oregon: the Metolius River, Jefferson Co., and Oak Creek, Benton Co. The Metolius River is characterized by low fluctuations in flow and water temperatures (8-13 C); whereas, Oak Creek is characterized by large fluctuations in volume of flow...

Biology studies of Macrosiphum avenae (Fabr.), Acyrthosiphon dirhodum (Walker), and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) on Gramineae in western Oregon

Creator:: Greene, Gerald L.
Abstract:: Field biology studies of three grain aphids, Macrosiphum avenae (Fabr.), Acyrthosiphon dirhodum (Walker), and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) were conducted near Corvallis, Oregon, from 1961 to 1964. Populations of M. avenae were found on grain plants, and alatae entering spring barley may have been from wheat fields. Specimens were found more...

Purification and characterization of a cytoplasmic apyrase plumules of Pisum sativum

Creator:: Nishikawa, Alfred Hirotoshi
Abstract:: The 105,000 x g supernatant fluid (S[subscript HS]) from extracts of pea seedlings (Pisum sativum, var. Alaska) etiolated for 60 hours yielded a very potent adenosine triphosphatase activity. This activity was designated as an apyrase when the reaction stoichiometry indicated that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was hydrolyzed to adenosine monophosphate (AMP)...
