The Flat Pod Rogue In Snap Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.), Lynn B. Kerr
The Flat Pod Rogue In Snap Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.), Lynn B. Kerr
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Segregation patterns of several pod shapes of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Tendercrop, were studied. The causes of build-up of off-type pods in a seed stock were examined as were possible means of reversing the buildup. Natural selection factors such as germination, vigor, earliness, and ease of threshing, favored the off-types. Careful, selective milling was found to be an aid to roguing in keeping stock seed as free as possible of the off-type pods.
Some Effects Of The Under Snow Environment On Growth And Carbohydrate Content Of Claytonia Lanceolata Pursh, Bryce D. Bennett
Some Effects Of The Under Snow Environment On Growth And Carbohydrate Content Of Claytonia Lanceolata Pursh, Bryce D. Bennett
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Studies were conducted in a mountain habitat to determine the effects of altered light and temperature upon the natural growth and/or carbohydrate cycles of Claytonia lanceolata during the period of winter snow cover. Treatments included natural control, light exclusion, and temperature alteration by insulation and by heating for a brief period. Monthly measurements were made of soil temperature (upper 12 cm), shoot development, soluble sugar, and soluble starch. The quantity and quality of light penetrating the snow cover was also determined.
About 0.0052% of the available visible light (400-750 nm) penetrated 70 cm of snow and 0.02% penetrated 50 cm …
A Study Of Ultrastructural Changes In Tolerant And Susceptible Lines Of Alfalfa Induced By Stem Nematode (Ditylenchus Dipsaci Kühn), Dorris C.N. Chang
A Study Of Ultrastructural Changes In Tolerant And Susceptible Lines Of Alfalfa Induced By Stem Nematode (Ditylenchus Dipsaci Kühn), Dorris C.N. Chang
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Fine structural analyses of host tissue (alfalfa, Medicago sativa L.) response to infection by the stem nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci Kühn) were conducted. Hypocotyl regions were taken on 1,3 and 7 days after inoculation.
Electron micrographs of infected tissue indicated the types of damage were the same between Lahontan (tolerant line) and Ranger (susceptible line). Only the infection rate (in percent) and degree of damage were different between lines and among the different temperatures (15, 20 and 25 C). The higher the temperature, the more injury resulted. After 3 to 7 days of infection, the symptoms observed were swelling and …
Effects Of Soil Fumigations With Telone And Nemagon On Physio-Chemical And Ultrastructural Changes In Carrot Roots And Sweet Corn Seeds, Maureen Mei-Chu Chen
Effects Of Soil Fumigations With Telone And Nemagon On Physio-Chemical And Ultrastructural Changes In Carrot Roots And Sweet Corn Seeds, Maureen Mei-Chu Chen
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Carrots (Daucus carota L. cv. Royal Chantenay) and sweet corn (Zea mays L. cv. Iochief) were grown on the Utah State University's Greenville farm in 1969 and 1970. The soil was fumigated with Telone (a mixture of 1, 3-dichloropropene and other chlorinated hydrocarbons) at the rates of 10, 20, and 30 gal/acre and Nemagon (1, 2-dibromo-3-chloropropane) at the rates of 1, 2, and 3 gal/acre one week before planting. Samples of uniformly mature carrot roots were taken for the studies of total carotenes, β-carotene, total and reducing sugars, respiration, and ultrastructural changes; and those of sweet corn seeds for the …
Effects Of Dmso And Propham On Mitosis In Root Tips Of Secale Cereale, Max Rosequist
Effects Of Dmso And Propham On Mitosis In Root Tips Of Secale Cereale, Max Rosequist
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and propham (isopropyl carbanilate) were investigated to determine their effect singly and in combination on mitoses in rye (Secale cereale) root tip cells. Root tips were prepared for observation by the paraffin and aceto-carmine squash methods. Results showed DMSO caused the following abnormalities: arrested metaphases, multipolar spindles, multinucleate cells, stickiness, shortened chromosomes, and mitotic inhibition. Cells from propham treated root tips exhibited the same abnormalities as those treated with DMSO. In addition, propham treatments resulted in polyploid cells and chromosome granulation. In combination, DMSO and propham caused all the abnormalities mentioned above except polyploidy. In …
The Regulatory Effects Of Certain S-Triazine Compounds On The Nutritive Composition Of Seeds And Leaves Of The Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) And Sweet Corn (Zea Mays L.) And Responses Of Metabolic Systems, Ming-Tsung Wu
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The study was conducted to investigate the influence of eight s-triazine compounds--simazine, atrazine, terbutryne, GS-14254, propazine, prometryne, prometone, and ametryne--on the composition of seeds of peas and sweet corn through soil and foliar application. In order to understand the mechanism of the effects of these a-triazines on protein accumulation, the responses of the metabolic systems of pea and sweet corn seedlings to s-triazine treatment was studied with emphasis on the stimulation of certain enzymes, and the changes in the rates of incorporation of 14C-L-leucine (U) into soluble protein. In addition, the effect of simazine on the ultrastructure …
Effects Of Controlled Atmosphere Storage On Quality And Certain Physiological Characteristics Of Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L., Cultivar "Great Lakes"), Christopher Chi-Chuen Yang
Effects Of Controlled Atmosphere Storage On Quality And Certain Physiological Characteristics Of Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L., Cultivar "Great Lakes"), Christopher Chi-Chuen Yang
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Lettuce heads (Cultivar "Great Lakes") were stored in different concentrations of O2 and CO2, including 1 percent O2 and 1 percent CO2, 2.5 percent O2 and 2.5 percent CO2, 5 percent O2 and 0 percent CO2, and 5 percent O2 and 5 percent CO2; temperatures of 35 and 70 F; and with or without microbe- and senescence-inhibiting chemicals and packaging. The samples were taken on the twentieth and fortieth days in the first series of experiments; and in the subsequent experiments, on the fifteenth, thirtieth, …
