Longevity and germination of seed of western dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f. campylopodum) of ponderosa
pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) was investigated to determine:
1) the influence of humidity and temperature on seed viability and
deterioration during storage; 2) the physiology of seed dormancy;
3) the composition of seed reserve food...
The purpose of this study was to study in some detail
host factors which influence the population dynamics of
bark beetle. The dissertation objectives were to ascertain
the applicability of utilizing osmotic pressure
values and relative turgidity values of phloem tissue as
indicators which reflect upon the physiological profile
of...
