The teliospore of Tilletia caries germinates to produce a promycelium
with a whorl of primary sporidia at its tip. The time between
emergence of the promycelium and the development of primary sporidia
averaged 2.3 h. Fusion between compatible sporidia occurred within
an additional 3.8 h. Primary sporidia appeared to be...
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...
A major objective of this investigation was to determine the
possible roles, if any, of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate and products of
its metabolic breakdown in symbiotic nitrogen fixation by nodule
bacteroids. Changes in poly -β- hydroxybutyrate content and in
activities of nitrogenase, β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, and
isocitrate lyase were studied under various conditions...
A herd of re-introduced California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis
californiana) was studied from 15 June 1976 to 31 August 1977.
Thirteen major and seven minor habitats were delineated and described.
Habitat use by bighorns was observed throughout the study and
a habitat preference value (H.P.V.) was calculated based on use...
