The Flowering Of Ecology: Maria Sibylla Merian's Caterpillar Book, Kay Etheridge

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

The Flowering of Ecology presents an English translation of Maria Sibylla Merian’s 1679 ‘caterpillar’ book, Der Raupen wunderbare Verwandelung und sonderbare Blumen–Nahrung. Her processes in making the book and an analysis of its scientific content are presented in a historical context. Merian raised insects for five decades, recording the food plants, behavior and ecology of roughly 300 species. Her most influential invention was an 'ecological' composition in which the metamorphic cycles of insects (usually moths and butterflies) were arrayed around plants that served as food for the caterpillars. Kay Etheridge analyzes the 1679 caterpillar book from the viewpoint of …

Characterizing Patterns In Texas Gulf Coast Beach Dune Plant Species Composition, Cody Foster

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Regional vegetation patterns of Texas beach plant communities were analyzed using cluster analysis, ANOSIM, SIMPER, NMDS, and ISA for fives zones representing the foredune complex of twenty Gulf Coast beaches. ANOVA revealed that zones differ in terms of percent bare sand, percent vegetative cover, and species richness. Cluster Analysis, ANOSIM, and SIMPER results indicate that Texas beaches can be divided into northern and southern regions based on differences in species composition of plant communities. Indicator Species Analysis (ISA) indicates that northern beaches are characterized by the presence of Rayjacksonia phyllocephala, Ambrosia Strophostyles, Ambrosia psilostachya, and Panicum amarum …

Genome-Wide Association Mapping And Genomic Prediction Of Anther Extrusion In Cimmyt Hybrid Wheat Breeding Program Via Modeling Pedigree, Genomic Relationship, And Interaction With The Environment, Anil Adhikari, Bhoja Raj Basnet, Jose Crossa, Susanne Dreisigacker, Fatima Camarillo, Pradeep Kumar Bhati, Diego Jarquin, Yann Manes, Amir M.H. Ibrahim

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Anther extrusion (AE) is the most important male floral trait for hybrid wheat seed production. AE is a complex quantitative trait that is difficult to phenotype reliably in field experiments not only due to high genotype-by-environment effects but also due to the short expression window in the field condition. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association scan (GWAS) and explored the possibility of applying genomic prediction (GP) for AE in the CIMMYT hybrid wheat breeding program. An elite set of male lines (n = 603) were phenotype for anther count (AC) and anther visual score (VS) across three field …

Pengaruh Frekuensi Penyiraman Terhadap Pertumbuhan, Hasil, Dan Fenologi Tanaman Hanjeli Ratun Di Dataran Medium, Arifa Syahanna Mahdya, Tati Nurmala, Yuyun Yuwariah

Jurnal Kultivasi

Salah satu keanekaragaman tanaman pangan yang dikembangkan untuk mengurangi konsumsi beras yaitu tanaman hanjeli pulut (Coix lacryma-jobi L. var mayuen). Permasalahan yang dihadapi pada budidaya hanjeli adalah umur panen yang cukup lama dan produktivitas yang rendah. Ratun diharapkan dapat meningkatkan indeks pertanaman, namun dapat bermasalah ketika memasuki musim kemarau. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari perbedaan pertumbuhan, hasil, dan fenologi tanaman hanjeli pada kondisi kekurangan air. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari 2019 – September 2019 di Kebun Percobaan Ciparanje, Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif-kuantitatif. Tanaman diberi perlakuan frekuensi penyiraman yang berbeda, yaitu …

Parallel Strategies To Control Bacterial Panicle Blight Of Rice, Laura Ortega

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Bacterial Panicle Blight (BPB) of rice is a seed-borne disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia glumae. This disease has affected rice production worldwide and its effects are likely to become more devastating with the continuous increase in global temperatures especially during the growing season. Field data has shown that the disease has been more prevalent in years when the temperatures have been unusually high especially at night possibly due to the bacterial adaptation to grow at temperatures higher than 40oC. With the continuous rise in global temperatures, it is likely that this disease will be more problematic. The bacterium can …

Genomic Selection Of Forage Agronomic Traits In Winter Wheat, Frank Maulana, Ki-Seung Kim, Joshua D. Anderson, Mark E. Sorrells, Twain J. Butler, Shuyu Liu, P. Stephen Baenziger, Patrick Byrne, Xue-Feng Ma

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications

Genomic selection (GS) can improve genetic gain of complex traits in plant breeding. Phenotyping agronomic traits of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for dualpurpose use is expensive and time-consuming. In this study, we compared the prediction accuracies of four GS models (RR-BLUP, GBLUP, GAUSS, and BL) for forage yield (FY), plant height (PH) and heading date (HD) of the hard winter wheat diversity panel (n = 298) using random and stratified sampling methods. In addition, we determined the appropriate training population (TP) size and marker density for GS of the traits. Moderate to high prediction accuracies ranging from 0.66 …
