Abstract:: Meadowfoam (cultivar Mermaid) is an entomophilous winter annual oilseed crop that has historically produced an average of only two of five seeds per flower. Reference to inadequate meadowfoam pollination exists in the literature, but quantitative evidence is lacking. Studies were undertaken to: 1) quantify meadowfoam pollination requirements and 2) evaluate...

Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes R. Br. spp.), a source of C₂₀ and C₂₂ fatty acids, is a new industrial oilseed crop adapted to the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Increased oil yield per land area may increase the rate of meadowfoam commercialization. Using two half-sib L. floccosa x L. alba lines, 85-765 and...

Abstract:: Cuphea is an herbaceous genus having species whose seed storage lipids are predominantly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Cuphea lanceolate Ait, and Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. are central to the breeding of Cuphea as a new commercial source of MCTs. The objectives of this thesis were to develop a reliable method to extract...

Abstract:: A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent a random sample of gametes from the parental...

Creator:: DeNoma, Jeanine Streeter
Abstract:: The hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is a dioecious, diploid (2n=2x=20) species. Triploid hops (2n=3x=30) are easily obtained from tetraploid by diploid crosses and are preferred because of their natural seedlessness and increased vigor. The female inflorescence is used for flavoring beer. Because brewers require product consistency, the brewing characteristics of...

Abstract:: There is no information available on water management of birdsfoot trefoil grown for seed. Information is also not available describing how to minimize seed losses due to shattering in order to obtain consistently high birdsfoot trefoil seed yields. The objectives of this research are to: (i) quantify crop water use,...
