Pollination biology and pollinator alternatives in mermaid meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth.)

Creator:: Jahns, Thomas R.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (cultivar Mermaid) is an entomophilous winter annual oilseed crop that has historically produced an average of only two of five seeds per flower. Reference to inadequate meadowfoam pollination exists in the literature, but quantitative evidence is lacking. Studies were undertaken to: 1) quantify meadowfoam pollination requirements and 2) evaluate...

Bees Associated with Linden (Tilia spp.) Trees and their Susceptibility to Toxic Sugars in Nectar

Creator:: Argoti, Adriana G.
Abstract:: Bees provide critical pollination services to diverse agricultural crops, native plants and trees. Globally, there are reports of bee declines which have been attributed to diseases, exposure to pesticides and changes in land use that are believed to have led to a reduction in foraging resources and nesting habitats for...

Growth and development of three meadowfoam (Limnanthes spp.) lines

Creator:: Fiez, Timothy E.
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes R. Br. spp.), a source of C₂₀ and C₂₂ fatty acids, is a new industrial oilseed crop adapted to the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Increased oil yield per land area may increase the rate of meadowfoam commercialization. Using two half-sib L. floccosa x L. alba lines, 85-765 and...

Chemically induced male sterility and natural out-crossing in selected wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell)

Creator:: Ekse, Ali Osman
Abstract:: Three chemicals SD 55446, SD 55447 and WL 84245 were found to induce male sterility in cultivars of wheat or triticale. Both SD 55446 and SD 55447 when applied at a concentration of 0.896 kg/ha resulted in 90% male sterility. However, SD 55447 caused female sterility at the same concentration...

Chemically induced pollen supression and subsequent natural outcrossing in selected wheat cultivars (Tritcum aestivum L. en Thell)

Creator:: Lewis, Hal A.
Abstract:: Effective chemical control of pollination would provide an alternative to the cytoplasmic male-sterile system in hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The objective of this study was to determine concentration, formulation, growth stage of application and genotypic effects on levels of induced pollen suppression and subsequent natural out-crossing from foliar...

Allozyme genetics and mating systems of Cuphea Laminuligera and Cuphea lutea

Creator:: Krueger, Sharon K.
Abstract:: Cuphea laminuligera Koehne and Cuphea lutea Rose in Koehne are undomesticated species having potential as oilseed crops. Genetic markers and mating systems have not been described for these species. Our objectives were to survey these species for allozyme variation, analyze the segregation and linkage of polymorphic loci, estimate autofertility and...

Effects of floral position, stamen quality, hand pollination, and temperature during reproductive development on meadowfoam seed set and seed yield

Creator:: Alba, Elena L.
Abstract:: Inconsistent seed yields of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) interfere with profitable production of this new oilseed crop. Significant correlation of field grown meadowfoam seed yields with years having temperatures above 24°C in mid-May at Corvallis, OR., led to the hypothesis that ambient temperature during reproductive development affects meadowfoam seed yields....

Trinexapac-ethyl timing and rate effects on crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed yield and seed yield components

Creator:: Morad, Mohammed
Abstract:: Oregon is the world’s leading producer of crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) seed. Recent research has reported that seed yield has been increased in cool-season grass and red clover (T. pratense L.) seed crops with the application of trinexapac-ethyl, a gibberellic acid biosynthesis inhibiting plant growth regulator (PGR) and lodging-control...
