Molecular-Marker-Facilitated Investigations Of Quantitative-Trait Loci In Maize. I. Numbers, Genomic Distribution And Types Of Gene Action, Jonathan F. Wendel, M. D. Edwards, Charles W. Stuber
Jonathan F. Wendel
Individual genetic factors which underlie variation in quantitative traits of maize were investigated in each of two F 2 populations by examining the mean trait expressions of genotypic classes at each of 17-20 segregating marker loci. It was demonstrated that the trait expression of marker locus classes could be interpreted in terms of genetic behavior at linked quantitative trait loci (QTLs). For each of 82 traits evaluated, QTLs were detected and located to genomic sites. The numbers of detected factors varied according to trait, with the average trait significantly influenced by almost two-thirds of the marked genomic sites. Most of …

Effects Of Drought On The Survival Of Rhizobium Leguminosarum Biovar Trifolii And The Nodulation Of Subterranean Clover In An Acid Soil, Carmen Bueno
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Twenty-nine Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii strains were tested for acidity tolerance in acidified liquid medium. Only 41% of the strains grew at pH 4.1. One acid-tolerant strain, USDA 2160, and one acid-sensitive strain, 162-X-103 from Nitragin Co., were inoculated on seeds of 'Nungarin', 'Seaton Park' and 'Clare' subclover cultivars. The inoculated and pelleted seeds were sown in potted Cluff soil with pH 5.7. Three desiccation levels were imposed by delaying watering for 0, 15 or 30 days. Four gravimetric soil water contents (6.0, 6.6, 10.5 and 12.5%) were maintained under a greenhouse line-source sprinkler system for 7 weeks. The desiccation …

In the first week of December, three blocks of containers were covered with one of the following: one layer of 4 mil, milky copolymer; one layer of quarter inch microfoam and one layer of milky copolymer; a sandwich of two layers of milky copolymer with 6 inches of wheat straw between them; the remaining block was left …
1987 Update Of Agronomic Performance Of Tall Fescue Varieties, Paul B. Burrus Ii, Garry D. Lacefield, J. Kenneth Evans
1987 Update Of Agronomic Performance Of Tall Fescue Varieties, Paul B. Burrus Ii, Garry D. Lacefield, J. Kenneth Evans
Agronomy Notes
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb.) is a well adapted, widely used pasture species occupying approximately 5.5 million acres in Kentucky and 35 million acres in the south central United States.
Commercial tall fescue varieties have been developed from plant materials of either northern European or Mediterranean origin. Varieties developed at the University of Kentucky -- Kentucky 31, Kenmont, Kenwell, Kenhy, and Johnstone -- trace to plant materials of northern European origin. The Kentucky varieties have later maturity dates and have greater resistance to certain foliar diseases during summer than varieties that are of Mediterranean origin (i.e., Alta, Fawn, Goar, and …
Effects Of Phosphorus On No-Till, Minimum-Till, And Conventional Till Irrigated Field Corn, John A. Mckay
Effects Of Phosphorus On No-Till, Minimum-Till, And Conventional Till Irrigated Field Corn, John A. Mckay
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This investigation involved three tillage treatments, fall plowed (conventional) (moldboard IS-centimeter depth), fall chiseled (ripped) (25-centimeter depth), and no-tillage (zero tillage) replicated four times on an established alfalfa field. Rye was planted in the fall and harvested prior to planting the corn. Soil samples contained an average of 5.9 ppm phosphorus in the 0-30 centimeter soil layer, indicating the need for additional phosphorus. Within each tillage treatment, six rows received 11 kilograms/hectare phosphorus with the seed and 34 kilograms/hectare phosphorus side-dressed. Six rows received 45 kilograms/hectare phosphorus side-dressed, and four rows received 0 phosphorus. All 16 rows received 64 kilograms/hectare …

Investigations Of Field Performance And Physiological Effects Of Metsulfuron And Metsulfuron Combinations On Field Bindweed (Convolvulus Arvensis L.), Hamid Rahimian Mashhadi
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) is a noxious perennial weed of many fallow and cropland fields all over the world. Present control methods are not satisfactory for field bindweed. Metsulfuron, 2[[[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2-yl) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] benzoic acid, is a new herbicide that has been shown to have activity on bindweed especially when tank mixed with other herbicides. This study was conducted to investigate the field performance and some physiological effects of metsulfuron on field bindweed.
Neither metsulfuron alone nor metsulfuron combinations gave persistent control of field bindweed. Metsulfuron usually increased the activity of other bindweed herbicides. Herbicide application to …

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Young plants of sorghum and sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) may be toxic to livestock because of the presence of the cyanogenic glucoside, dhurrin [p-hydroxy-(S}-mandelonitrile-β-Dglucoside), in the forage. In the present study a set of 11 chromosomal reciprocal translocations in 'Combine 7078' grain sorghum, involving each of the 10 chromosome pairs of sorghum in at least two of the translocations, was used to determine which chromosomes carried genes conditioning dhurrin content of sorghum seedlings. Each translocation stock was crossed and backcrossed once to a low-dhurrin line of sudangrass. Backcross progenies and parental plants were started in the …

Evaluation Of Two Methods For Estimating Belowground Production In The Great Dismal Swamp, Millie Symbula
Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
Two methods were used to estimate belowground production in a maple-gum stand in the seasonally flooded Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia. The first was an auger method which involved sequential core sampling. The second method was an implanted soil mass technique. Nylon mesh bags were filled with peat and buried at the study site. New growth into these implants was taken to be production.
Mean annual lateral root biomass and necromass to 40 cm, determined from soil cores, were 583 g·m-2 and 281 g·m-2, respectively. Production estimates for roots ≤ 5 mm in diameter, using soil cores, …

The Allelopathic Effects Of Pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana) Berry Juice, Steven R. Parris
Honors Theses
This paper is divided into three major sections. The first section is a limited overview of the field of allelopathy, from its origins to its potential future. Since the field of allelopathy is relatively young and there are only a very few texts on allelopathy available, much of this information is taken directly from journal articles. The second section reviews the publications concerning Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) and some of its close relatives, as well as information on a number of interesting and potentially useful compounds that have been isolated from them. The third section describes a series of laboratory experiments …

Effect Of Fertilizer Rates And Placement Practices On Yield Of Burley Tobacco, Kenneth L. Wells, G. D. Cantrill, J. L. Sims
Effect Of Fertilizer Rates And Placement Practices On Yield Of Burley Tobacco, Kenneth L. Wells, G. D. Cantrill, J. L. Sims
Agronomy Notes
Management of fertilizer practices in production of burley tobacco is very important in control of manganese (Mn) toxicity of the crop. In addition to the use of agricultural limestone, the use of fertilizers in the appropriate amounts, the appropriate kinds, and in the appropriate manner can strongly influence acidity in the rooting zone during the growth of burley. Studies of these effects have made up a major thrust of the University of Kentucky's research programs on fertility of burley, and have largely been conducted by J.L. Sims and his students during the past 15 years.

Adjusting Soil Ph On Heavy Textured Soils Of The Eden Hills, Kenneth L. Wells, R. M. Jones
Adjusting Soil Ph On Heavy Textured Soils Of The Eden Hills, Kenneth L. Wells, R. M. Jones
Agronomy Notes
The Eden Hills Area (also known as The Hills of the Bluegrass) of Kentucky lies adjacent to the Inner Bluegrass Area in a crescent shape within which a large area of several counties occur. Carroll, Owen, Grant, Gallatin, Pendleton, and Robertson Counties occur almost entirely within this physiographic region and several other counties have sizable acreages within it. Soils of the area have formed largely on Ordovician aged calcareous siltstones of the Garrard Formation and interbedded calcareous shales, thin limestones, and siltstones of the Eden Formation. Soils developed from these formations occur on strongly sloping to steep landscapes and have …

Using Leaf Fluorescence For Evaluating Atrazine Tolerance Of Three Perennial Warm-Season Grasses, Caroline Bahler, Lowell E. Moser, Kenneth P. Vogel
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Atrazine [6-chloro-N-ethyl-N’-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine] blocks photosymthetic electron transport in susceptible plants. The energy from the interrupted electron transport is fluoresced from the leaves of atrazine-treated plants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate leaf fluorescence as a nondestructive bioassay of the relative atrazine tolerance of 3 perennnial, warm-season grasses. Leaf section of switchgrass [Panicum virgatum L.] (high tolerance), indiangrass [Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash] (intermediate tolerance), and sideoats grama [Boutelouacurtipendula (Michx.) Torr.] (lower tolerance) were placed in distilled water for 20 minute and then in atrazine solutions. Fluorescence readings were taken prior to and after the atrazine treatment with …

Effect Of Herbicide Safeners On Sand And Little Bluestems, W. Roder, Steven S. Waller, James L. Stubbendieck, Lowell E. Moser, Alex Martin
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Weed competition is a major factor limiting establishment of warm-season grasses. Use of preemergence herbicides in conjunction with herbicide safeners can offer a successful weed control strategy. Effects of herbicide safeners applied as seed treatments, and soil-incorporated herbicides on sand bluestem [Andropogon gerardii var paucipilus (Nash) Fern.] and little bluestem [Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash] were evaluated in germinator and greenhouse studies. The safeners cyometrinil ((Z)-[cyanomethoxy)imino] benzeneacetonitrile), dichlormid (2,2-dichloro-N,N-di-2-propenylacetamide), and R-29148 (2,2-dimethyl-6-methyldichloroacetyloxazolidine) reduced germination and shoot growth of both grasses. Sand bluestem was protected against EPTC (S-ethyl dipropyl carbamothioate) and vernolate (S-propyl dipropylcarbamothioate) by R-29148, …
