The effects of modifying air temperature, soil temperature,
and soil moisture levels on flowering, fruiting, and chemical composition
of Tendercrop snap beans were studied in experiments in
the field and in the greenhouse during 1961, 1962, and 1963.
High maximum temperatures of 95-105° F. during bloom reduced
the percent set...

Interspecific hybridizations between P. vulgaris and P. acutifolius
and between P. vulgaris and P. lunatus were investigated. Prefertilization
events were similar in inter- and intra-specific crosses. Fertilization
was completed in all crosses and the time of fertilization was
dependent on the maternal parent, reflecting differences in the time of
maturation...
The single-cross and most F₂ progenies of 19 genotypes of
tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb. ) were used to study the
breeding behavior of forage yield. Parental genotypes were selected
for high self-sterility, high chromogen and high crude protein. These
were studied in two groups of nine intermediate and ten...

The objectives of these experiments were to determine
the feasibility of saving seed from snap bean fields in the
Willamette Valley that have been bypassed for canning and
freezing, and to study the effects of different seed production
methods on yield and quality of snap bean (Phaseolus
vulgaris L.).

Failure to reconstitute completely is one of the major drawbacks of dehydrated green beans. Shrivelled and flaccid beans are found in almost every reconstituted lot.
In the present study an endeavour was made to locate the chemical factors responsible for the different rehydration charac -teristics of dehydrated green beans.
Dehydrated...
