Despite many investigations genotype by environment interaction remains
one of the least understood factors in plant improvement. Understanding genotypic
differences responsible for such interactions could assist in making more informed
breeding decisions. The components of yield being less complex than grain yield
per se may be useful for selection to...
Streamflow variability can provide valuable information for nonpoint source
pollution monitoring program planning. The research papers presented in this thesis
examine selected properties of streamflow variability in Oregon to advance its application
in regional planning of water quality monitoring programs. The products of this research
depict Oregon streams by their...

The thesis begins with an introduction to signal transduction
and an analysis of current understanding of plant signal
transduction. There are similarities between plants and animals,
but also key differences, including lack of protein kinase C and of a
cAMP signaling pathway in plants, and presence in plants of
calcium...
