The expression and inheritance of a leaf distortion of beans was
studied in a group of the Oregon State University breeding lines and a
commercial cultivar. Of seven parents involved, two were without distortion
and classified normal, and the remainder were affected by
various degrees of distortion. The distortion affected...
The temperature-dependent development of pupae and adults of strawberry root weevil (SRW) Otiorhynchus ovatus (L.) was studied in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. var. 'Totem'). The development of pupae and adults was investigated at constant temperatures from 3-33°C at 3°C intervals. Major emphasis was on the development of a weighted...
Experiments were performed to determine whether a direct
correlation exists between the growth rates of tall and dwarf peas
grown either in the light or in the dark and endogenous gibberellin
(GA) content. Three separate but related experimental approaches
were utilized: (1) the determination of possible qualitative and /or
quantitative...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), also called English ryegrass, is a cool-season perennial bunchgrass native to Europe, temperate Asia, and North Africa. It is widely distributed throughout the world, including North and South America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.
Large barite (BaSO4) structures mark cold seeps in the southern San Clemente Basin. Barium flux to San Clemente sediments is two to three times greater than fluxes measured in surrounding California Borderland basins. Analyses of sediment trap material, water column samples, sediments and pore water indicate that expected bariumbearing mineral...
