A rapid and sensitive HPLC method for quantifying both the
reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione simultaneously in woody
plant tissues was developed. This method was applicable to a variety
of woody plant species and different tissues. Total glutathione
content in the bark tissue of seven of the woody plant...
Lasting, effective solutions to nitrogen (N) loss from container nurseries must
address layers of complexity ranging in scale from whole system nursery management
to gene expression. Group-based On-site Active Learning (GOAL) was developed to
aid nursery managers and related stakeholders (e.g. neighbors, policy makers,
regulating agencies, researchers) in developing a...
The hump-shaped relationship that predicts highest species richness (species/unit area) at intermediate levels of productivity was examined for woody plants across the Pacific and Inland Northwest of the U.S. Many studies have examined this relationship at regional scales, but commonly use species range maps and surrogate measures of productivity (e.g....
Our goal was to develop knowledge that will enable insertion of foreign genes into Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] trees. This required improvement of a tissue culture system for producing adventitious shoots from cotyledons, and study of factors affecting gene delivery, expression, and analysis. Administering a short-duration, concentrated liquid pulse...
