The literature available on the silica content of herbaceous biomass, and its relative mobility in leaching/extraction systems, includes studies that have employed several different methods for silica quantification. This makes comparison of the data difficult. The objective of this thesis research was to determine the quantitative relationships between the measured...
The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin control plant development through a complex network of interactions which include synergistic, additive, and opposite effects whose mechanisms are unknown. The auxin-insensitive diageotropica (dgt) mutant provided a tool to dissect the relationship between auxin- and cytokinin-induced responses in tomato. Morphological, physiological, and molecular data support...
Unfertilized ova from spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) were examined for the presence of classical salmonid
inmmunoglobulin. Immunodiffusion techniques in which rabbit anti-salmonid
immunoglobulin was reacted against an ova homogenate
and rabbit anti-ova homogenate was reacted against immune chinook
serum failed to detect classical-type antibodies within these eggs.
A lectin...
