The impact of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast on the aroma and flavor of Vitis vinifera L. cv. 'Pinot Noir' wine

Creator:: Takush, David G.
Abstract:: The impact of yeast on the aroma and flavor of Vitis vinifera L. cv. 'Pinot Noir' wine was investigated. Due to the presence of naturally occurring yeast and bacteria on grapes and wine equipment, and the influence these microorganisms have on wine, a means of eliminating microorganisms from grape must...

Dietary soy and green tea in the prevention of prostate cancer

Creator:: Hsu, Anna
Abstract:: Prostate cancer risk is significantly lower in Asian countries compared to the US, which has prompted interest in the chemo-preventative action of dietary components such as soy and green tea commonly found in Asian diets, such as soy and green tea. Studies have suggested that soy isoflavones and green tea...

Fruit quality evaluation of strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) grown in California and Oregon

Creator:: Jetti, Rajesh R.
Abstract:: Five genotypes from California (Ventana, Caniarosa, San Miguel, 13G97, and Venice) and Oregon (Totem, Puget Reliance, Puget Summer, Hood and Independence) were evaluated for quality. The volatile compounds were analyzed using head space solid phase micro extraction-gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GGFID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Odor activity values of...

Effects of esfenvalerate on native macroinvertebrates representative of Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Johnson, Katherine R.
Abstract:: Aquatic insects are essential components of healthy stream ecosystems, contributing to nutrient cycling, trophic dynamics and other ecological functions. Aquatic insect species, particularly those in the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT taxa) are however, extremely sensitive to insecticide contamination. Given that urban and agricultural use of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides...

Environmental contaminants in male river otters collected from Oregon and Washington, 1994-99, with reproductive organ hypoplasia observed in otter males

Creator:: Grove, Robert Allan
Abstract:: A large number of river otter (Lontra canadensis) males were collected from areas of high and low contaminant concentrations throughout western Oregon and Washington during the fall and winter of 1994-99. Few significant non-reproductive organ morphometric differences were found in the large series of male otters collected, except for adrenal...

Fish assemblage organization in the Amazon River floodplain : species richness, spatial distribution and recruitment processes

Creator:: Petry, Paulo
Abstract:: The composition and distribution of fish assemblages was examined in a floodplain lake system in the Amazon basin. Quantitative samples were collected during the 1992-1993 flooding season at Marchantaria Island, Solimoes River. A total of 25,819 specimens representing 8 orders, 30 families, 101 genera and 139 species of fish were...

Genetic diversity of populations of Astragalus oniciformis using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers

Creator:: Alexander, J. Andrew
Abstract:: Astragalus oniciformis Barneby is a xerophyte of the sagebrush deserts of central Idaho. It is a narrow endemic of the upper Snake River Plains where it inhabits stabilized, aeolian sand deposits over Quaternary basalt flows. The objective of this study was to determine the levels and distribution of genetic differentiation...

Development of an adventitious shoot regeneration system in cherries

Creator:: Meneghelli, Luigi P.
Abstract:: Shoot regeneration in vitro is a difficult problem for cherry species. This study addressed three approaches to the problem, regeneration of adventitious shoots from roots and leaves of mature cherry clones, and from cotyledons of open-pollinated 'Royal Ann' cotyledons. Regeneration on roots occurred at a very low frequency. Adventitious shoots...
