Genetic mapping of Cuphea lanceolata : molecular-marker linkage to quantitative-trait loci affecting seed capric acid, seed oil, and embryo development

Creator:

Webb, David M. (David Morton), 1954-

Abstract:

Cuphea is an herbaceous genus having species whose seed storage lipids are predominantly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Cuphea lanceolate Ait, and Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. are central to the breeding of Cuphea as a new commercial source of MCTs. The objectives of this thesis were to develop a reliable method to extract...

Affecting Seed Capric Acid, Seed Oil, and Embryo Development by David M. Webb A THESIS submitted to
The effect of precipitation variation on soil moisture, soil nitrogen, nitrogen response and winter wheat yields in eastern Oregon

Creator:

Glenn, D. M. (David Michael)

Abstract:

The semi-arid regions of the Pacific Northwest are characterized by a high degree of annual temperature and precipitation variation. As a result of this climatic variation, dryland nitrogen fertilizer trials on fallow- ,wheat rotations typically demonstrate a variable response. Wheat growers in the area must not only cope with this...
