Parental and segregating populations derived from four winter x
spring wheat crosses were investigated to obtain information concerning
the inheritance and association of earliness, grain yield and yieldrelated
traits. Feasibility of selecting in early generations for these
characteristics was also evaluated. Four winter wheat cultivars
(Hyslop, Yamhill, Bezostaia 1, and...
Gas exchange, leaf area development, leaf anatomy and stomatal characteristics of four tall fescue selections differing in forage yield were examined to provide further insight into characteristics associated with yield differences of these selections. Winter-growing TFM 26 and TFM 16, the highest and lowest-yielding selections, respectively, and summer-growing selections TFK...
Several experiments involving broilers, chicks, layers, roosters,
poults and breeder turkeys were conducted with the primary objective
of examining research methods for evaluating poultry feed grains, their
additives and supplements. A secondary objective was to improve and
maximize the production responses of poultry fed locally grown grains.
Feed grain research...
The objective of this study was to determine interrelationships among agronomic traits in early and late maturing populations. Two populations were obtained from the crosses, Roussalka/Tesopaco 76 and Yamhill/Aspen. Seeds were space planted with split plot design and nine agronomic traits were observed. In comparative studies between early and late...
Spore dispersal gradients and pod disease gradients from point
inoculum sources of Botrytis cinerea were measured over time in two
snap bean field experiments. Laboratory grown inoculum was placed
at ground level in a 30 x 30 cm square at bloom initiation and
removed at full bloom. Dispersal of inoculum,...
Triticale, a newly man-made cereal from a wheat-rye cross offers a
unique food and feed potential because of its higher protein content
with nutritionally balanced amino acid composition as compared to other
cereal grains. However, some cereal proteins such as trypsin inhibitors,
present in triticale and rye, can affect the...
Four isogenic lines possessing different combinations of height
reducing genes Rht₁ and Rht₂ from 'Norin 10' were crossed to a short
stature, early maturing, septoria susceptible cultivar identified as the
'Tibet Dwarf'. The isogenic lines originated from the backcross
population of 'Itana'/3/'Norin 10'/'Brevor 14'//6*'Itana'. Parents, F₁
and F₂ generations provided...
