The effects of five cytokinin antagonists on the growth
of cytokinin-autonomous lines of Phaseolus lunatus cv.
Kingston, Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Great Northern, and
Nicotiana tabacum cv. Wisconsin 38 callus tissues have been
compared. The antagonists tested included four N⁴-substituted 4-amino-2-methylthiopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines
bearing the following N⁴ side chains, 4-n-pentyl-
(ms²pnN⁴Prp), 4-n-hexyl- (ms²HxN⁴Prp),...
1-Phenyl-3-(2-Thiazoly1)-2-Thiourea (PTTU), has been reported to
inhibit dopamine-fi-hydroxylase (a copper-containing enzyme involved in
the pathway of biosynthesis of adrenaline in animal systems). In the
present study, PTTU has been shown to have cytokinin activity in the
tobacco bioassay. The cytokinin activity of PTTU suggested that
cytokinin-active N⁶-substituted adenine derivatives might...
The research presented in this thesis was designed to evaluate
the effects of feeding alfalfa hays from the Klamath Basin of Oregon
in practical dairy rations on milk fat production in high-producing
Holstein cows. Thirty-two second lactation or older animals estimated
to be capable of producing at least 70 lbs...
The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...
Forty-eight young adult males were ranked on the basis of mean
hand-grip strength scores and the middle one-third, the medium
strength range, were chosen as subjects. These sixteen subjects were
given 30 serial trials in each of four tests; knee flexion, knee
extension, elbow flexion, and elbow extension. Each trial...
