1. The xylem pressure inducing 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity due to embolism
widely used for comparisons of xylem vulnerability among species and across aridity
However, despite its utility as an index of resistance to catastrophic xylem failure
drought, P5o may have no special physiological relevance in the context of...
"Nine (9) sediment samples and 1 QC duplicate were collected from Yaquina Bay and South Beach Marina (see Figures 1) on May 31, 2000.

Yeast mannoproteins released during the process of aging wine on the yeast lees have been reported to make important contributions to wine quality. However, few mannoproteins have been identified in wine and their lifespan during aging is unknown. As a first step towards better understanding the contributions of yeast mannoproteins...
Yellow starthistle, a native of the Mediterranean region, arrived in this country in 1869 as a contaminant in alfalfa seed. It is a strong invader of disturbed areas, rangelands, and roadsides and thrives in areas of summer drought. A yellow starthistle invasion will reduce biodiversity by choking out native plants....
