Tall fescue often results in poor liveweight gains. This may be accounted for by variations in perloline content, nitrogen content, or digestibility of the plant. Two groups of tall fescue plants were examined for each of these traits. These groups consisted of (a) fifteen single-crosses of a six parent diallel...
A new photosystem-II mutant of the green alga Scenedesmus
obliquus D₃, strain PS-28, has been shown to lack a-tocopherol
(vitamin E). The photosynthetic activity of dark grown samples of
PS-28 is about 20% of the wild-type control. Culturing the mutant
at low light intentisites (10⁴ ergs/sec-cm ²) stimulates photosynthetic
activity...
