Creator:: Carroll, Jesse L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest region of the United States is known for quality production of blueberries, blackberries, and red raspberries. However, as the climate shifts to warmer, drier, and more extreme summers, growing these water intensive berry crops is becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, water regulations within agriculture are becoming more prevalent...

Creator:: Kumar, Mohan B.
Abstract:: Genetic stability of micropropagated and cold-stored Fragaria x anannasa cultivar 'Pocahontas' was evaluated by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay. Plantlets grown for eight months on M & S medium with 5 μM and 15 μM N6- benzyladenine (BA) were analyzed. No evidence of mutations was seen in over 200...

Creator:: Ludy, Robin L.
Abstract:: Effects of amount of applied water and frequency of irrigation on head rot and yield of three broccoli cultivars were evaluated in 1987 and 1988. Two irrigation frequencies were established with a line-source sprinkler system for 5.5 weeks during heading. The low-frequency experiment was watered once per week and the...

Creator:: Li, Ning
Abstract:: Imaging spectra of plant tissues yield considerable potential and useful information for basic studies and agriculture practice. We constructed an imaging spectrophotometer with spectral range from 400 nm to 1100 nm, which was used to study various physiological events of plant germplasm: location of bundle sheath and mesophyll cells in...

Creator:: Bonanno, A. Richard
Abstract:: Field experiments were conducted in 1981 and 1982 to develop a method for using remotely measured leaf canopy-air temperature differences (stress-degree-days (SDD)) to schedule irrigations and to evaluate the effects of differential irrigation on snap bean cultivars, 'Oregon 1604' and 'Galamor'. Effects on soil water potential (SWP), leaf water potential...

Creator:: Wallace, Lyle T.
Abstract:: Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon. Research by Stevens and colleagues showed that Blue Lake flavor could be reconstituted in a bland bean by adding 0.4ppm of 1-octen-3-ol and 1.6ppm of 3-hexen-1-ol. These two volatile...

Creator:: Mauk, Craighton Stiles
Abstract:: During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon 1604', a determinate snap bean. High and low plant densities were...
