The easy picking characteristic, expressed as low pod detachment force (PDF),
offers a way to decrease pod damage in bush green beans mechanically harvested for
processing and fresh market, and makes hand picking easier and faster. This study was
undertaken to examine inheritance in a cross of two green bean...

‘Sacajawea’ (OSU 540.130) was developed and evaluated at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, and was released in February 2006. Compared to ‘Barcelona,’ ‘Sacajawea’ is a slightly smaller tree but has a higher yield efficiency, a higher percent kernel, fewer kernel defects, and smaller nuts. Nuts mature and fall free of...
'Santiamʼ (OSU 509.064) was developed and evaluated at Oregon State
University, Corvallis, Oregon, and it was released in February 2005. This cultivar has complete resistance to eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Resistance is conferred by a single dominant gene from ʻGasaway.ʼ Compared to ʻBarcelona,...
"'Yamhill' (OSU 542.102) was developed and evaluated by the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, and was released in January 2008. Trees of 'Yamhill' are completely resistant to eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Compared to 'Barcelona', trees of 'Yamhill' are smaller...
This publication includes tables that summarize characteristics of the main hazelnut varieties produced in the United States, lists varieties' susceptibility to eastern filbert blight, and shows varieties' compatibility with each other for pollination.
This publication outlines characteristics of each pollinizer cultivar, including incompatibility alleles, flowering and nut characteristics, and pest tolerance. The data presented in this publication were collected from the original seedling tree of each pollinizer cultivar, and these cultivars currently are being evaluated in replicated trials and commercial plantings.
Therefore, we...
Clark is a hazelnut selection developed by Oregon State University.
Trees of this genotype are about 30 percent smaller than ‘Barcelona’ yet
have comparable yields to ‘Barcelona.’ This selection has good quantitative resistance to eastern filbert blight (EFB).
Harvest is 7–10 days earlier than‘Barcelona’ and nuts are free-husking.
Nuts have...
Metals are a persistent form of freshwater pollution and have been shown to bioaccumulate in aquatic macroinvertebrates through direct contact with contaminated water, sediments, and through consumption of contaminated organisms. This research explored the longitudinal bioaccumulation patterns of 5 common trace metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) in the...
