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...
Numerical results are presented using a higher-order pseudo-spectral method in order to solve the Zakharov-Craig-Sulem formulation of the Euler model. We study the effects of variable bathymetry on weakly-dispersive, weakly-nonlinear, shallow water waves. Improved predictions on wave amplitude and shoaling behavior are developed by analytical means in the context of...
Concerns have been expressed that wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars selected under optimum conditions may lack adequate adaptation for stress environments. Experimental populations were grown under three environmental conditions 1) optimum, 2) reduced irrigation, and 3) high temperature. Field experiments were conducted at the Center for Northwest Experimental Station (CIANO),...
To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
