Three chemicals SD 55446, SD 55447 and WL 84245 were found to
induce male sterility in cultivars of wheat or triticale. Both SD 55446
and SD 55447 when applied at a concentration of 0.896 kg/ha resulted
in 90% male sterility. However, SD 55447 caused female sterility at
the same concentration...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an in-service project for teachers of the social studies (K-12). The project was sponsored by the Region II Committee of the Oregon Council for Curriculum and Instruction (O.C.C.I.) during the period from November 1, 1966 to April 1, 1969....
The need to develop a shorter life cycle wheat cultivar which
would be more adapted to multiple cropping systems prompted this
study. Thus the following information was obtained.
Greatest variations in developmental patterns were found in the
stem elongation, booting, inflorescence emergence and anthesis for
five winter and five spring...
Three genetically different dwarf cultivars of spring wheat were
evaluated as potential sources of short stature to use in a wheat improvement
program. The study involved a five parent diallel cross
which included a semidwarf, a standard height and three dwarf cultivars.
The genetic sources of dwarfism included a Norma...
The major objective of this study was to determine why certain
winter wheat cultivars, when hybridized, will produce a greater proportion
of desirable plants in subsequent, segregating generations.
Three winter wheat parents were chosen as the experimental material,
based on their known performance as parents. Yamhill and
Pullman Selection 101...
Seven winter wheats were evaluated for plant height, the components
of yield and yield in a diallel cross at Pendleton, Oregon and
Lind, Washington. An additional parent was added to the diallel cross
at Pullman, Washington. Two levels of nitrogen and five replications
were utilized at each of the locations....
Effects of temperature and growth stage on
vegetative bud development and stem hardiness of red-osier
dogwood during winter dormancy were investigated.
Results were related to a degree growth stage model and
were used to develop models to predict growth stages, to
quantify development, and to predict hardiness.
Maximum rest development...
The teliospore of Tilletia caries germinates to produce a promycelium
with a whorl of primary sporidia at its tip. The time between
emergence of the promycelium and the development of primary sporidia
averaged 2.3 h. Fusion between compatible sporidia occurred within
an additional 3.8 h. Primary sporidia appeared to be...
Gynoecious inbred lines of cucumbers (Cucumis sativus
L.) with high (HF), medium (MF) and low (LF) percentage of
gynoecious plants were used in crosses with monoecious
Chinese cultivars with high (HN), medium (MN) and low (LN)
percentage of nodes with female flowers. F₁ and F₂ progenies
from these parents crossed...
