Creator:: Starbuck, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine if the plagiotropic growth habit of rooted cuttings of Douglas-fir might result from a system favoring the accumulation of indoleacetic acid in the adaxial side of the shoot in response to vertical placement. Actively growing excised branch terminals were subjected to gravitational disorientation to determine...

Creator:: Yang, Jenq-chuan
Abstract:: Genetic variability in natural populations of Douglas-fir was studied at molecular level by investigating the variations of some primary gene products, i. e. enzymes. Using the techniques of disc gel electrophoresis and biochemical staining, the isoenzyme patterns of leucine aminopeptidase, esterase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase are characterized in young seedlings...

Creator:: Abee, Albert
Abstract:: To investigate the movement of elements (N, P, k, Ca, and Mg) from the tree crowns by natural litterfall and leave wash, plots were established on six 450 year-old growth stands at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The following are the results of the data analyses. Elemental concentrations contained...

Creator:: Kilpatrick, Kran James
Abstract:: The objectives of this investigation were to measure the seasonal and diurnal variations of starch as well as to relate these variations to growth of the trees. This study also microscopically examined the needles to determine if starch exists in granular form in Douglas-fir. The objectives were designed to gain...

Creator:: Pope, Walter William
Abstract:: Net photosynthesis was measured for photosynthetic light efficiency and capacity on two-year-old plants from eight different seed sources in three measurement periods. The measurement periods corresponded to the physiological periods 1) prior to bud swelling, 2) after needle elongation, and 3) predormancy. Measurement period differences in both photosynthetic efficiency and...
