Field, greenhouse, growth chamber and laboratory experiments
evaluated factors affecting establishment, survival and production
of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) and alfalfa (Medicago
sativa L.)
Field studies investigated the effects of a barley companion
crop, seedling year harvest management and nitrogen and phosphorus
fertilization upon stands, survival and subsequent production...
Chlorophyllin (CHL), a water-soluble derivative of the green plant pigment, chlorophyll, is an effective antimutagen and anticarcinogen in various model systems when used as a modulator against a class of carcinogens that, in general, have a structure consisting of at least three fused rings. Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBP), an extremely potent environmental...
Polypeptidyl derivatives of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease
(RNase) containing two or three tyrosine chains
with an average of two to three residues per chain have
been prepared. The effects of various perturbants such as
neutral salts, ethanol, urea and guanidine hydrochloride
on the thermal transition of the derivatives have been
studied....
Volcan Aucanquilcha, a Pleistocene to Recent composite volcano in northern Chile, is the youngest and center-most member of the 11 m.y.-old Aucanquilcha Volcanic Cluster (AVC). The AVC has produced [approximately]350 km³ of lava over its history. Magmatism started slowly and was punctuated by high rates of eruption between 4.5 and...
The antidote (1, 8 naphthalic anhydride) is recommended for
corn protection against EPTC injury where the antidote is applied at
a half percent by weight of corn seeds before planting.
Studies were
conducted to determine the factors affecting the action of antidote in
corn (Zea mays L. var. NB 501D)...
The focus of this study was to determine if S₁ family recurrent
selection might be successfully used for barley improvement.
Objectives were: 1) to identify suitable methods of evaluating grain
yield in small plots, 2) to study the effects of intermating on mean
values and variances of selected agronomic characters,...
