The Problem
The general purpose of this study was to determine the
completeness and adequacy of student personnel services in
Negro colleges of the South Atlantic States. Specifically,
the problem was (1) to identify and analyze the nature of
student personnel practices in Negro colleges of the South
Atlantic States;...
Investigations were conducted to study in detail some biochemical and physiological aspects of ripening in pears. Anjou pears
picked at different degrees of maturity were treated with Ethrel
(2-chloroethane phosphonic acid), 4000 ppm, and ethylene, 500 ppm,
for different lengths of time. Respiration rate was measured twice
daily and changes...
Procedures were developed for assaying the biosynthesis of (-)-
kaurene-¹⁴C and other intermediates in gibberellin (GA) synthesis
from mevalonic acid-¹⁴C in cell-free enzyme extracts of immature
pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) seeds. This system was utilized
to investigate three aspects of GA biosynthesis: (1) apparent capacities
for (-)-kaurene biosynthesis...
Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) is a desirable pasture
grass on wet areas in the Northern United States and Southern Canada,
but it is a serious and troublesome ditchbank weed in the Pacific Northwest
and Rocky Mountain States. The purpose of this study was to learn
more about the development,...
Many centers of population in the Pacific Northwest are dependent
upon employment in the forest based industries. Mary of these
timber dependent communities look to the public forests for their raw
wood requirements. In some localities the installed capacity has outstripped
the local wood supply. This necessitates reaching into other...
The effects of manganese nutrition on growth, mineral composition,
carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, IAA oxidase and phenols
of 'Northwest' strawberry plants are reported. Growth and mineral
composition response were investigated in sand culture and Hoagland's
solution 2 modified to contain 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 12.5, 25.0, 62.5 and
125.0 ppm substrate...
