Microbial activity within elevated CO2 and oxygen depleted environments changes with
density driven stratification overturn in the seasonally anoxic region of Devil’s Hole,
Bermuda. The temperature gradient developed during the summer months creates a
natural laboratory to study bacterial and virus population density and microbial
community dynamics in the anoxic...
The spring bloom is a key oceanic phenomenon in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA), where it supports the regional ecosystem, fisheries, and CO2 sequestration. Despite its significance, mechanisms that trigger NGA blooms are still debated, largely due to a lack of sufficient data from late winter through spring. New...
Salmon and other anadromous fish are consumed by vertebrates with distinct
life history strategies to capitalize on this ephemeral pulse of resource availability.
Depending on the timing of salmon arrival, this resource may be in surplus to
the needs of vertebrate consumers if, for instance, their populations are limited
by...

Recommendations are provided in this watershed analysis to identify actions and management decisions on the part of BLM that might improve watershed health in the Trask River watershed.
The effectiveness of early generation selection for yield and
yield stability and the possible identification of superior parental
combinations were studied in winter wheat populations representing
different levels of genetic diversity. Experimental material for
evaluating yield stability consisted of nine bulk and seven modified
bulk populations derived from nine parental...
Visual selection for grain yield may be a limiting factor in
identifying superior yielding genotypes in a breeding program. This
investigation was conducted (1) to compare the effectiveness of
visual selection for grain yield by three selector groups representing different levels of plant breeding experience, and (2) to
examine the...
Five winter wheat cultivars and their diallel crosses were evaluated for plant height, harvest index, deading-maturity duration, the components of yield, (spikes per plant, spikelets per spike, kernel weight and kernels per spikelet)and total plant yield. Two diverse locations, Moro, a dryland site (250 mm annually) located in central Oregon...
The major objective of this study was to determine why certain
winter wheat cultivars, when hybridized, will produce a greater proportion
of desirable plants in subsequent, segregating generations.
Three winter wheat parents were chosen as the experimental material,
based on their known performance as parents. Yamhill and
Pullman Selection 101...
Six winter wheat cultivars were evaluated for their breeding
value in transmitting superior genetic factors for grain yield to subsequent
progeny. The cultivars were selected on the basis of their
potential grain yield and divided into two populations. Population I
was comprised of three cultivars which have been in commercial...
Winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated for
their response to water stress and adaptability to a wide range of
moisture limited environments. Grain yield was analyzed for ten
cultivars at six locations across four years. Regression of the cultivar
mean on the year-location mean was used as a measure...
Three chemicals SD 55446, SD 55447 and WL 84245 were found to
induce male sterility in cultivars of wheat or triticale. Both SD 55446
and SD 55447 when applied at a concentration of 0.896 kg/ha resulted
in 90% male sterility. However, SD 55447 caused female sterility at
the same concentration...
Five newly released and two Eastern European winter wheat
cultivars were grown under five different seeding rates (80, 160,
240, 320, 400 seeds per m²). Four of these newly released cultivars
were grown at three different locations which have different environmental
conditions. Data were obtained on grain yield, tiller number...
The F₂ progeny from a diallel cross involving seven winter
wheat parents along with the parents were grown at the Hyslop
Agronomy Farm near Corvallis, Oregon to determine the influence
of three plant densities on gene action estimates for yield and its
primary components. The plant densities were designed to...
