  • The biology and control of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) on irrigation ditchbanks

    Creator:
    Comes, R. D. (Richard Durward), 1931-
    Abstract:
    Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) is a desirable pasture grass on wet areas in the Northern United States and Southern Canada, but it is a serious and troublesome ditchbank weed in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain States. The purpose of this study was to learn more about the development,...

  • Response of strawberry plants to manganese nutrition

    Creator:
    Sabharwal, Sudarshan Lal
    Abstract:
    The effects of manganese nutrition on growth, mineral composition, carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, IAA oxidase and phenols of 'Northwest' strawberry plants are reported. Growth and mineral composition response were investigated in sand culture and Hoagland's solution 2 modified to contain 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 12.5, 25.0, 62.5 and 125.0 ppm substrate...

  • 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...

  • A biochemical investigation of the nitrogenase system from soybean root nodules

    Creator:
    Koch, Burton Lee
    Abstract:
    The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the conditions necessary for the preparation of cell-free extracts of nodule bacteroids capable of catalysing the reduction of acetylene to ethylene and nitrogen to ammonia. Initial investigations were conducted to determine whether intact soybean root nodules would reduce acetylene to ethylene...
