Albumin, as a percent of total proteins in both the coelomic
serum and the blood serum, was determined for four groups of
developing Rana catesbeiana tadpoles by cellulose acetate electrophoresis.
Also, using Folin phenol reagent, the total protein of
each the blood serum of metamorphosing tadpoles and the coelomic
serum...
Hop varieties were compared under field and greenhouse conditions to determine their relative susceptibility to the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticac Koch. A fertility schedule was prepared for mites on resistant and susceptible varieties, and tests were conducted to compare sex ratio, oviposition rate, survival rate, and developmental rate of...
The insect fauna of a small second order intermittent stream
near Corvallis, Benton County, Oregon was studied. The species
composition was determined, attempts were made to monitor migration
to the stream, qualitative and quantitative benthos samples were
taken, emergence was sampled, the dry stream bed was examined
for forms of...
Factors limiting effective extraction and purification of bean
yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) were investigated. Since the use of published
techniques for purifying BYMV resulted in low yields of partially
purified virus, an improved method for partial purification of this
virus was developed. The following treatments of infectious crude extract
decreased...
