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...
A study was conducted of the influence of various climatic and
soil factors on the development of onion pink root disease and of the
influences of temperature, light, pH, carbon and nitrogen sources,
and vitamins on the growth in vitro of an Oregon isolate of the pink
root fungus, Pyrenochaeta...
The study of the vegetation of one of the natural coastal
prairies in Oregon was undertaken for the purpose of describing
some of its synecological features. Specific objectives of the study
were to describe certain plant assemblages in the study area, present
phenological relationships on some of the assemblages, and...
The purpose of the work is to enable students of botany to identify
accurately Oregon ferns, both as living plants and as dried specimens.
Therefore, it provides vegetative keys to the families, genera
and species of the ferns (Class FILICINAE) found in Oregon. Correct
names have been determined using the...
