The F₂ progeny from a diallel cross involving seven winter
wheat parents along with the parents were grown at the Hyslop
Agronomy Farm near Corvallis, Oregon to determine the influence
of three plant densities on gene action estimates for yield and its
primary components. The plant densities were designed to...
Studies of some components of test weight in Soft White wheat
revealed distinct subclass differences. Wheat kernels of Soft White
more completely occupied a given volume than did kernels of White
Club. The Soft White kernels were larger and had a higher density
than the White Club kernels. Because of...
Wheat is an important cereal crop in the Willamette Valley of
Oregon and the stiff-strawed, high-yielding varieties are the predominant
types grown. Observation of the effect of seeding rates
on the yield and yield components are useful in determining which
of the components contributes most to the yield of a...
Seven winter wheats were evaluated for plant height, the components
of yield and yield in a diallel cross at Pendleton, Oregon and
Lind, Washington. An additional parent was added to the diallel cross
at Pullman, Washington. Two levels of nitrogen and five replications
were utilized at each of the locations....
Two lots of six White Leghorn male chickens were fed diets containing
7.3% linoleic acid and either .075% ethoxyquin (lot 1) or 32.4
mg/kg of added vitamin E (lot II) for 47 weeks both of which were
designated as positive controls. A third group (lot III) containing 30
males received...
A diallel cross consisting of ten parents was grown on the
Hyslop Agronomy Farm near Corvallis, Oregon, in order to obtain
estimates of the gene action contributing to yield and its components
in wheat. Gene action estimates were obtained by two methods of
diallel analysis and from narrow sense heritability...
Six wheat hybrids from two sets of parents and their respective
parents were grown at Hyslop Agronomy Farm near Corvallis, Oregon
in the year 1965-66. The object of the experiment was to evaluate the
influence of population densities and different planting patterns on
grain yield and factors which determine grain...
Over 50 fertilizer experiments on winter wheat have been conducted in Baker, Union, and Wallowa counties since 1957. Results of these experiments indicate that nitrogen and moisture are the main factors limiting wheat production in this area.
The volatile flavor fraction of lightly milled wheat grown in
eastern Oregon was isolated for study by two methods: steam distillation
under vacuum and steam distillation at atmospheric pressure.
The sample obtained under vacuum was extracted with ether
which was then evaporated to yield the desired wheat essence.
Steam distillation...
