The primary cause of "early dying" disease of potatoes in
Oregon is Verticillium dahliae; however, Colletotrichum atramentarium,
Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc) and E. carotovora
subsp. atroseptica (Eca) are also commonly isolated from
diseased plants. Therefore, field and greenhouse studies were
initiated to determine the relative involvement of each pathogen,...
A great deal of responsibility accompanies the
person who becomes an academic department chairperson.
However, the new department chairperson is often a temporary
occupant of the chair and will return to a
teaching faculty role within a relatively short period
of time. In addition, there are few training programs
in...
Bioavailability (BA) of vitamin B6 (B-6) from foods may be
limited. The knowledge of the BA of B6 from food is important in
that this would help to understand if the B6 present in the diet of
individuals will meet the requirements for this vitamin.
The purpose of this study...
Fruit juice concentrates- hard pear, soft pear, fig,
prune, raisin, white grape, and pineapple, and sweeteners-invert
beet, invert cane, and high fructose corn syrup
(HFCS) were characterized by sugar profiles, nonvolatile
acid profiles, UV spectral profiles, and mineral content.
These fruit juices and sweeteners were also used to
adulterate commercial...
This publication was prepared for 4-H leaders and livestock club members, but will serve as a guide for others with interest in improving carcass merit.
A study, consisting of two sequential greenhouse experiments, was
designed to determine the effects of soil liming upon the fungal
partner in a mycorrhizal association. A Willamette Valley foothill
soil, of the Jory series, was limed in increments to achieve a range
of acidity and alkalinity. The P-deficiency and P-fixing...

Electrical stimulation of beef carcasses (n=18) did not cause a
significant reduction in microbial population on three different sampling
positions immediately following slaughter. In constrast, significant
microbial reduction (P > 0.05) was found at position 2 (muscle
above aitch bone), but not at position 1 (inside of neck) or position...
