Gene transfer via interspecific hybridization within Phaseolus has
been limited by abnormal hybrid development and the rapid loss of
hybridity in subsequent generations. The most advanced embryo
development occurs in P. vulgaris x P. coccineus where mature seeds
form. However, the reciprocal cross still results in abnormal embryos
unable to...
This thesis research is a series of five studies dealing
with various aspects of hazelnut quality:
1. Identification of kernel mold and its incidence among
hazelnut varieties.
2. Seasonal development and composition of kernels.
3. Hazelnut oil composition (fatty acids and
tocopherols) of seventeen varieties.
4. Hazelnut oil composition compared...
This thesis describes the development of a flash analog-to-digital converter based on
current-mode technique. The advantages of current -mode technique are higher speed,
smaller chip area, and simple division of reference current based on current mirror. A
current-mode comparator is designed consisting of a cascode current mirror and a
current...
A micropropagation system was developed for hazelnut cultivars and
rootstocks. Culture establishment was affected by explant source, explant collecting
season, and type of explant. The highest frequency of culture initiation and lowest
tissue oxidation and contamination were obtained from internodes with single axillary
buds from grafted greenhouse-grown plants early in...
