The filbert is propagated by layerage and a faster method is
needed to keep pace with the rapidly expanding industry and the demand
for new cultivars. Propagation by seedage and graftage were the
two methods selected for evaluation in the research. Seed experiments
were initiated to identify optimum treatments for...
A rapid and sensitive HPLC method for quantifying both the
reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione simultaneously in woody
plant tissues was developed. This method was applicable to a variety
of woody plant species and different tissues. Total glutathione
content in the bark tissue of seven of the woody plant...
Chilling requirements of 43 apple and 38 pear cultivars
were estimated over a 2 year period by cutting shoots in the
field at weekly intervals and forcing them in a warm
greenhouse for 4 weeks. For apples, the mean values ranged
from 490 Chill Units (CU) +- 1 for 'Dorsett...
Lasting, effective solutions to nitrogen (N) loss from container nurseries must
address layers of complexity ranging in scale from whole system nursery management
to gene expression. Group-based On-site Active Learning (GOAL) was developed to
aid nursery managers and related stakeholders (e.g. neighbors, policy makers,
regulating agencies, researchers) in developing a...
