Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and
correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The
estimates of these parameters can provide important information for a breeder in the
selection of parents, the most efficient design for evaluation of seedlings and advanced...

A long standing problem has been the question of what maps to select for acquisition in a college map library. This thesis addresses
the problem and provides a carto-bibliography of basic maps for a map library. Following a brief review of pertinent literature, criteria for evaluation and selection of maps...
Glutathione, a ubiquitous intracellular tripeptide, protects cells by reacting with electrophiles and radicals that can damage cellular macromolecules. However, glutathione conjugation is now recognized as one mechanism by which drugs and xenobiotics can also be converted to reactive intermediates having toxic consequences to cells. The halogenated alkane 1,2-dichloroethane forms S-(2-chloroethyl)...
The behavioral repertoire of the sea anemone, Anthopleura
xanthogrammica, was investigated to test for the occurrence of any
immediate response to various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Monochromatic radiations in the visible and ultraviolet spectral
regions were produced by a 150-watt xenon lamp or a ZOO watt mercury
vapor lamp...
In order to determine the total number of cytochrome P-450 isozymes
present in a given species following various treatments, mature
male rats (Sprague-Dawley) were injected intraperitoneally with the
classic mixed-function oxidase inducers phenobarbital (PB), pregnenolone-
16a-carbonitrile (PCN), 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC), or the appropriate
control vehicle.
Hepatic microsomes were solubilized and P-450...
Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 has been extensively studied because of its plant growth promoting properties and potential as a biocontrol agent. The genome of SBW25 has been sequenced, and among sequenced strains of pseudomonads, SBW25 appears to be most closely related to P. fluorescens WH6. In the authors' laboratories, WH6...

Abstract
Background
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa antimetabolite L-2-amino-4-methoxy-trans-3-butenoic acid (AMB) shares biological activities with 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine, a related molecule produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens WH6. We found that culture filtrates of a P.aeruginosa strain overproducing AMB weakly interfered with seed germination of the grassy weed Poa annua and strongly inhibited growth of Erwinia amylovora, the...
To evaluate the immunologic and metabolic effects of OmniGen-AF® (Phibro Animal Health corporation, Quincy, IL; OG) supplementation in growing beef cattle, we designed three studies using replacement beef heifers (8.5 and 10.5 months of age) and steers supplemented across backgrounding, transition, and finishing periods. In Study 1, the effect of...
