The Effects Of Irradiating Dormant Maize Seeds With Xrays And Thermal Neutrons, Rosalind Morris, E. F. Frolik

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

In 1951 a research program was started at the University of Nebraska to compare the developmental effects of thermal neutrons and X rays on different crop seeds. Three crops, barley, tomato and maize, were chosen for additional information involving induced chromosomal aberrations and seedling mutations. The maize investigations are presented in this bulletin, along with a comparison among the three crops with respect to irradiation effects.

The Performance Of Alfalfa Synthetics In The First And Advanced Generations, W. R. Kehr, H. O. Graumann, C. C. Lowe, C. O. Gardner

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

During alfalfa breeding investigations conducted at the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station, numerous superior clones were selected and tested as clones, and in polycross progeny tests. Information was needed on the performance of synthetic varieties in the first and advanced generations, on the optimum number of clones to include in a synthetic variety, and on parent-progeny relationships. Clones with high general combining ability for forage yield as measured by polycross progeny tests, and in certain instances specific combining ability based on single-cross tests, were intercrossed in various ways to produce synthetic varieties. A group of synthetics varying in number of parents …

The Living Network In Prairie Soils, J. E. Weaver

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

This study treats of our midcontinental soils and of the wonderful network of roots within them of a vegetation which has clothed them for untold centuries. This vegetation has almost vanished so great has been the toll of the tractor-drawn plow, over- grazing and trampling, injudicious use of poisonous sprays, building of highways, and other causes. Virgin prairie and undisturbed soil occur in quantity only in areas where limestone underlies a shallow soil and prevents plowing or in sand so unstable that destroying the vegetation with its binding roots is almost synonymous with losing the soil. The many thousands of …

A Reappraisal Of The Relationship Between Free And Bound Coumarin In Melilotus, Francis A. Haskins, Herman J. Gorz

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

In early work on coumarin in sweetclover, the assumption was made that the free form of the compound predominated in the intact plant. Subsequent investigations demonstrated the presence of bound coumarin in addition to free, and it was then thought that both forms were normally present. Recent work indicates that when suitable extraction procedures are used, virtually all the coumarin is obtained in the bound form. Such extraction procedures must provide for the rapid inactivation of β-glucosidase, thus preventing the hydrolysis of bound coumarin (apparently the glucoside of cis-o-hydroxycinnamic acid) during the extraction process. In the present study, inactivation …

An Ecological Study Of An Exclosure In The Mountain Brush Vegetation Of The Wasatch Mountains, Utah, Elray S. Nixon

Theses and Dissertations

This is a comparative study of the vegetation and soils of an exclosure in the mountain brush vegetation of the Wasatch Mountains, Utah. The exclosure was fenced and initially analyzed during the summers of 1949-1950. The study area is located in Pole Canyon in the Uinta National Forest, a few miles northeast of Provo, Utah. The dominant woody species of the vegetation in the exclosure are big toothed maple (Acer grandidentatum) and Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii). After settlement of the area in and around Provo, Pole Canyon became overgrazed by livestock. Since 1949 the area has been protected from grazing. …

An Analysis Of A Hybrid Complex Involving Agropyron Subsecundum, Agropyron Trachycaulum And Elymus Glaucus, Lewis Kay Shumway

Theses and Dissertations

In the past twenty years many workers have made contributions to a better understanding of hybridization and introgression through studies of members of the grass family. The present study is an attempt to increase the understanding of the importance and amount of hybridization and introgression in members of the Tribe Hordeae. This study is concerned with a hybrid complex involving Agropyron subsecundum (Link) Hitchc. (bearded wheatgrass), Agropyron trachycaulum (Link) Malte (slender wheatgrass) and Elymus glaucus Buckl. (blue wild rye).

Progress From Recurrent Selection Procedures For The Improvement Of Corn Populations, John H. Lonnquist

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The possibilities of developing synthetic varieties suitable for the fringe areas of the corn belt, where cost of hybrid seed is high relative to the value of the expected crop, and in areas where hybrid corn might not be a feasible approach for other reasons, made it seem a worthwhile objective for study. Effort has been made in recent years to increase the productivity of hybrid combinations through selection of new superior lines using standard breeding procedures. The limited progress realized has resulted in an increased interest in the possible use of alternate methods for the development of superior germplasm …
