Crown gall infected and healthy Kalanchoe pinnata (Lam.)
Persoon plants were analyzed for soluble amino acids. Specifically
the amino acids in young leaf, mature leaf, stem, root, and gall
tissues were quantitatively measured. The plants were inoculated
with the bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith and Townsend)
Conn., on one side of...
A method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of hybrid
poplar (Populus alba x P. grandidentata) suspension cultures and
regeneration of transformed plants is described. The best protocol
was one in which suspension cultures were inoculated with
Agrobacterium tumefaciens to a density of 10⁷ cfu's/ml, cocultivated
for 48 hours, plated to cellulose acetate...
The purpose of this study of the Lyons flora is to determine the age and paleoecology of the flora through the examination and identification of the fossil plant species of the flora. The plant fossils comprising the Lyons flora were collected from a locality in the upper Thomas Creek area,...
Truancy and dropout are two issues plaguing school districts across the nation.

The cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., x=17) is one of the most important annual oilseed crops in the world. There are very few publicly shared sequence-based DNA markers and genetic maps in sunflower, even though molecular DNA markers and genetic maps have become widely used in all areas of genetic...
Boron sprays produced fruit set increases in 'Barcelona'
hazelnut orchards in 1984 and in 1985. The absolute fruit set was
correlated with leaf B content but not with nut B. With relative
fruit set (RFS), B content of nuts in May (r = 0.63**) was more
strongly related to set...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a contextual model for integrating lessons
from the LifeKnowledge curriculum into the agricultural science and technology (AST) course content. This was measured using the National FFA Organization’s online precept indicator which is part of the LifeKnowledge 3.0 curriculum. Ninth grade students at...
