Legislation to reduce open field burning in grass seed fields within the Willamette valley of western Oregon changed established production practices. In the creeping grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) non-thermal management resulted in reduced yield. Studies were conducted to examine...
The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin control plant development through a complex network of interactions which include synergistic, additive, and opposite effects whose mechanisms are unknown. The auxin-insensitive diageotropica (dgt) mutant provided a tool to dissect the relationship between auxin- and cytokinin-induced responses in tomato. Morphological, physiological, and molecular data support...

Attempts to develop dual-purpose durum wheat cultivars for both pasta and bread-making
have been unsuccessful. To better understand this limitation, thirty durum
genotypes, selected based on their diverse geographical origin, and five bread wheat
cultivars were compared as to their flour mixing properties, dough physical characteristics
and baking performance. The...
