  • Fruit color development in red pears

    Creator:
    Dussi Dehais, Maria Claudi
    Abstract:
    A fruit color descriptive study was conducted on 'Max' and 'Sensation' Red Bartlett, 'Columbia' and 'Gebhard' Red Anjou, 'Rogue Red', 'Rosired', 'Red Clapp' and 'Cascade' red pear varieties. A parallel comparative study was done to test differences between related red strains. 'Max' was compared with 'Sensation' in three different growing...

  • Development of PCR-based markers for identifying grape rootstocks

    Creator:
    Xu, Hong, 1968-
    Abstract:
    Sequence-specific PCR markers were derived from one new and eight previously identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers for the purpose of identifying grape (Vitis) rootstocks. The markers were developed because the RAPD assay was found to be inconsistent and the original RAPD markers unreliable. Southern hybridization analysis of the...

  • Enhancement of biological control with beneficial insectary plantings

    Creator:
    Colley, Micaela Ruth
    Abstract:
    Five field experiments were conducted to evaluate the relative attractiveness of potential beneficial insectary plants to aphidophagous hover flies and parasitic Hymenoptera and the effectiveness of interplanting selected flowering plants in a broccoli field to enhance biocontrol of the cabbage aphid and green peach aphid. In 1996 we established a...

  • Micropropagation of Pyrus rootstocks

    Creator:
    Yeo, Dennis
    Abstract:
    The availability of new pear rootstocks could be increased by development of an efficient micropropagation system. Many P. calleryana, P. betulifolia and P. communis rootstocks are resistant to many pear diseases and are graft compatible with leading cultivars. Explains of three potentially useful rootstock selections P. calleryana Decne 'OPR 157',...

  • Investigation of novel sources of genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight

    Creator:
    Lunde, China F.
    Abstract:
    To identify novel host genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller, ninety European hazelnut {Corylus avellana L.) varieties and interspecific hybrids (with C. americana Marsh, or C. colurna L.) were screened for response to the eastern filbert blight pathogen after inoculation in...

  • Biological control of insects using entomopathogenic nematodes

    Creator:
    Bezdek, Tanya M.
    Abstract:
    Biological control is the action of predators, parasitoids, or pathogens to maintain a pest organism's population at lower numbers than would occur in the absence of the agent. Entomopathogenic nematodes can be used as biological control agents for insect pests. These nematodes infect insects and release a toxic bacterium that...

    Creator:
    Murray, Helene
    Abstract:
    Calls for increased farmer involvement in research and extension programs have been numerous and well supported. One approach to integrate the collective knowledge and experience of agricultural scientists and farmers is through whole farm case studies (WFCS). An interdisciplinary team of 34 research and extension personnel at Oregon and Washington...

  • Strategies for machine harvesting of mature coffee (Coffea arabica L.) fruits

    Creator:
    Tongumpai, Peeradet
    Abstract:
    Greenhouse and field grown coffee plants were used to study the synchronization of flowering and fruiting. The purpose of these studies was to develop methods of improving the selective harvesting of mature coffee fruits by machine. The studies were divided into 4 parts: 1) Synchronization of flowering, 2) Synchronization of...

  • Ripening pear flavor volatiles : identification, biosynthesis and sensory perception

    Creator:
    Suwanagul, Anawat
    Abstract:
    Volatile compounds of eight pear varieties were isolated and identified by GC/MS. A total of 112 components were identified from headspace of intact fruits, including 47 compounds reported for the first time in pear. The volatile profiles of these pear varieties were characterized by esters, alcohols, hydrocarbons, aldehydes and ketones....
