Genetic variability in the eastern filbert blight pathosystem

Creator:: Osterbauer, Nancy K.
Abstract:: The heritability of resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala, in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) was evaluated in the progeny of seven cultivars crossed in 12 combinations. Progeny produced by crossing 'VR6-28' with three susceptible cultivars segregated 1:1 for complete resistance to eastern filbert blight. Histograms of disease...

Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) biology and management in red clover (Trifolium pratense) seed production

Creator:: Lins, Ryan D.
Abstract:: Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is a parasitic weed that attaches to the roots of red clover (Trifolium pratense). Small broomrape invasion presents a significant threat to the future of red clover seed production in Oregon. This study was conducted to investigate and develop small broomrape management options for red clover...

Electrical conductivity of additively colored potassium chloride crystals

Creator:: Seevers, Robert Edward
Abstract:: When the dc conductivities of various pure KC1 crystals were compared it was found that crystals grown under an HC1 atmosphere, from salt purified by ion exchange, exhibited lower knee temperatures than any of the crystals studied. These knee temperatures were found to be approximately 350°C. From this the total...

Studies on luteinizing hormone and gonadal steroids in male and female llamas (Lama glama)

Creator:: Reed, Pamela J.
Abstract:: A series of studies was performed to more clearly evaluate gonadal function in llamas. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone (P₄) concentrations were compared following natural or hormone-induced ovulation. Luteal regression was evaluated following administration of the prostaglandin F₂α analog cloprostenol. The interaction of age, season and castration on testosterone (T)...

Larval settlement and juvenile group dynamics in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella)

Creator:: Booth, David J. (David John), 1958-
Abstract:: Patterns of settlement of larvae and population dynamics of juveniles are poorly known for coral reef fishes. During 1987 to 1989, I studied these phenomena in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella), a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Larvae settle onto branching coral heads as new recruits (10-15 mm in...
