Variation in Broccoli Cultivar Phytochemical Content under Organic and Conventional Management Systems: Implications in Breeding for Nutrition

Creator:: Renaud, Erica N. C., Lammerts van Bueren, Edith T., Myers, James R., Joāo Paulo, Maria, van Eeuwijk, Fred A., Zhu, Ning, and Juvik, John A.
Abstract:: Organic agriculture requires cultivars that can adapt to organic crop management systems without the use of synthetic pesticides as well as genotypes with improved nutritional value. The aim of this study encompassing 16 experiments was to compare 23 broccoli cultivars for the content of phytochemicals associated with health promotion grown...

The need to breed crop varieties suitable for organic farming using wheat, tomato and broccoli as examples: A review

Creator:: Lammerts van Bueren, E. T., Jones, S. S., Tamm, L., Murphy, K. M., Myers, J. R., Leifert, C., and Messmer, M. M.
Abstract:: It is estimated that more than 95% of organic production is based on crop varieties that were bred for the conventional high-input sector. Recent studies have shown that such varieties lack important traits required under organic and low-input production conditions. This is primarily due to selection in conventional breeding programmes...

Hot electron transport and relaxation in quantum wells and superlattices

Creator:: Lary, Jenifer Edith
Abstract:: Electron transport and relaxation may be substantially different in low-dimensional systems compared to that observed in bulk material. In the present work, Monte Carlo models are used for the solution to the Boltzmann transport equation, with scattering rates calculated quantum mechanically for superlattice and quantum wells. Carrier relaxation following optical...

Breeding and genetics of lilacs and hardy hibiscus

Creator:: Lattier, Jason D.
Abstract:: Lilacs are a group of ornamental trees and shrubs in the Oleaceae family consisting of 22 to 30 species. There are six series within genus Syringa: Pubescentes, Villosae, Ligustrae, Ligustrina, Pinnatifoliae, and Syringa. Fertility and cross-compatibility among cultivars, species, and series have yet to be formally investigated. Over three years,...

Breeding an open pollinated broccoli for organic production systems using participatory methods

Creator:: McKenzie, Laurie R.
Abstract:: Organic agriculture is an important and growing sector of U.S. and world food production. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in the production practices and impacts associated with agriculture and as such, are showing a preference for sustainably produced, raised, and harvested foods. In order to continue to meet...

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Genomic Shifts under Different Agricultural Management Systems

Creator:: King, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Although the concept of breeding crops for organic agricultural systems has been around for decades, few studies have been reported for vegetable crops to quantify and compare how conventional and organic systems differ in their selection pressures on genotypes advancing through the breeding cycle; especially research utilizing modern sequencing capabilities....

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Quantification and Application of Key Traits

Creator:: Park, Hayley E.
Abstract:: Improving crop cultivars for use on organic farms is pertinent, as current elite germplasm is less resilient within the more variable context of organic farm environments. Although a growing number of studies have focused on organic plant breeding in cereal crops, very few have focused on vegetable crops, especially those...

Advancing Naked Barley: Malting Protocol Manipulation and Embryo Retention Insights

Creator:: Vallejos, Cristiana L.
Abstract:: Naked (hull-less) barley has historically been grown for food, but interest in, and breeding efforts for, its use in malting and brewing have increased due to the potential benefits: reduced off-flavors, reduced spent grain, and higher malt extract. These benefits are offset by limiting factors such as high b-glucan and...

Temperature effects on the growth of Douglas-fir seedlings

Creator:: Wommack, Donald Everett
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to determine the effects of different chilling treatments during the dormant season upon growth of Douglas-fir seedlings0 In addition it was planned to determine whether seedlings native to various geographic areas differ in their chilling requirements0 The hypotheses were advanced, based on previous studies, that chilling...

The function of the homeobox transcription factor Pitx2 during mammalian skeletal muscle development

Creator:: Shih, Hung Ping
Abstract:: Homeodomain transcription factors control developmental processes. They pattern body formation, specify cell lineages and switch the onset of gene regulatory cascades. Pitx2, a bicoid-related homeodomain transcription factor, is asymmetrically expressed in the left lateral plate mesoderm and mesoderm-derived tissues. Pitx2 null mice are characterized by failure of body wall closure,...
