Four agronomically and genetically diverse spring
barleys were used in a crossing program to study the
inheritance of lysine in barley and to determine its
possible association with certain agronomic and morphological
characters. The cultivar Hiproly was used as the
source of high protein and lysine. Characters measured
included plant...
A conceptual model was developed to further the understanding
of the evolution and fate of volatilized ammonia in
the atmosphere. Recent trends in livestock rearing have
been toward confinement facilities in which high animal concentrations
are maintained. One of the impacts of these
facilities has been increased local concentrations of...
Footrot of wheat (Cercosporella herpotrichoides Fron) is a
major disease of winter wheat in certain areas of the world having a
cool, damp winter and early spring climate. In Oregon, it is an
economic problem in the higher rainfall wheat-growing areas in the
eastern portion of the state. This study...
A technique previously designed to screen wheat cultivars and
segregating populations for tolerance to Aluminum utilizing nutrient
solutions in growth chambers was found to be efficient in differentiating
among cultivars of wheat, rye, and triticale for tolerance to Al
under greenhouse conditions. A 5°C increase in temperature, from
25°C to...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an in-service project for teachers of the social studies (K-12). The project was sponsored by the Region II Committee of the Oregon Council for Curriculum and Instruction (O.C.C.I.) during the period from November 1, 1966 to April 1, 1969....
Four agronomically and genetically diverse winter wheat parents
were utilized as the experimental organisms. Atlas 66 and NB 68513
were selected as cultivars with a high and stable protein content when
grown under different environmental condidtions. They are intermediate
for grain yield when grown in the Pacific Northwest. Yamhill
and...
