Anthracnose Kernel Rot Of Maize Caused By Colletotrichum Graminicola (Ces.) Wils.: Mode Of Entrance Into And Disease Progression In Ears, Claude Nankam, D. C. Foley

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The mode of establishment of Colletotrichum graminicola in maize ears to cause kernel infection was studied for two types of infective propagules and three sites of penetration. Shank inoculations with either oat-grain inoculum or spores induced a greater percentage of infected kernels than inoculations of the husk or kernel area with an infected oat grain or inoculations of the silks with an oat grain or a spore suspension in 1985. But in 1986, a spore suspension in the kernels ranked first among all the treatments based on the basis of disease severity on the kernels. However, a large percentage of …

The Taxonomy And Biology Of Strauzia (Diptera: Tephritidae), W. Bryan Stoltzfus

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The North American genus Strauzia is revised. Five new species are included with keys to adults of the 12 known species. Host plant, important larval characteristics, and life cycle information are given for 11 of the species. The evolution of the genus is discussed and 14 host plants are reported. All species bore in the stems of Asteraceae, pupariate in the crown area or in the soil, and are univoltine.

The Selection, Retelling And Illustration Of A Fairy Tale, Linda Rathe

Graduate Research Papers

Fairy tales continue to be a very popular form of children's literature. The contributions that fairy tales make to children's developmental needs have been investigated by various experts, who have analyzed the stories in terms of the theories of Freud, Jung, Piaget, Kohlberg, and various social scientists. In view of the consensus that it is best if children have access to both a large number and a large variety of folk and fairy tales, a fair tale from a translation of the Grimms' collection was selected, retold, and illustrated. This was done in a manner responsive to the following developmental …

Prefatory Note, Loree Rackstraw

Draftings In

Every now and then a university faculty member gets rewarded for reading self-multiplying freshman papers and attending university meetings designed to create new levels of ennui. Such was the case when I walked into a late afternoon class last fall and became acquainted with a delightfully diverse - and maybe even perverse - group of students assembled to read and discuss the novels of Kurt Vonnegut for a whole semester. A few English majors were scattered here and there in various states of sophistication and knowing. But subversives from anthropology and economics and marketing and philosophy lurked in the back …

Catalogue Of The Living Collection Of The Iowa State University Botany Department Greenhouses, Richard W. Pohl, Deborah Q. Lewis

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The Botany Department greenhouses at Iowa State University are a rooftop facility including 17 separate houses, divided into three temperature zones. Some illuminated houses are provided to encourage good plant growth during the winter. One greenhouse is operated as a short-day facility and provided with curtained chambers for short days. Summer cooling of the greenhouses is effected by evaporative coolers.

The living teaching and research collections include over 800 plane taxa, ranging from bryophytes to orchids and composites. Propagation materials, as available, may be provided to other educational institutions for teaching or research.

Distribution Of On-Campus Grades For Spring Semester 1988, Gerald D. Bisbey

History of Education Book Gallery

This report is the next in the sequence of such reports being sent each semester to give the University community information concerning grade distributions. These grade distributions are by instructional areas and/or programs rather than departments only. Thus areas such as Educational Media Center, Individual Studies, and Human Relations are also identified. By request, the Humanities and General Sciences areas have been retained with the appropriate departments.

Annual Report Of The Iowa Academy Of Science, 1987-88, James G. Macmillan

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Since 1975 when a history of the Iowa Academy of Science was written for the centennial of the founding of the Academy, an Annual Report has acted as a continuing record of the Academy’s activities.

This report encompasses the year beginning July I, 1987 to June 30, 1988 and is based on minutes of committee meetings, Board minutes and recollections of the author. Each part represents a major activity of the Academy.

An Industry Perspective On The Benefits Of And Regulation Of Genetically Engineered Plants, Nicholas M. Frey

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The seed industry has routinely incorporated new technology into its research and development programs. Plant generic engineering is the most recent technology to be utilized for seed product development efforts. New sources of herbicide, insect, and disease resistance are being incorporated into crop plants using cellular and molecular biology techniques.

New regulatory guidelines have been developed which require regulatory approval before genetically engineered plants can be reseed in the field and ultimately marketed. The impact of these regulations on product development is unclear. Hopefully a dialogue will develop among industry, government agencies, and the public such that reasonable and appropriate …

Agronomic Performance Of Sorghum Hybrids Produced By Using Different Male-Sterility-Inducing Cytoplasms, A. J. Maves, R. E. Atkins

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Experiments were conducted in three environments in Iowa to obtain information on the effects of different cytoplasms on agronomic characters in grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) hybrids. Compared with A1 cytoplasm, A2 and A3 cytoplasms delayed flowering; reduced the percentage of fertile pollen, the number of seeds per panicle, and grain yield; and increased 100-seed weight of the hybrids. Hybrids with A2 or A3 cytoplasm did not differ (p ≥0.05) from those in the A1 cytoplasm for plant height, panicles per plant, or for length, width, and area of the third and fourth leaves from the top of …

A Vascular Flora Of The Swaledale Railroad Prairie In North Central Iowa, Thomas L. Eddy

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

"Railroad prairies" are remnant native grasslands that grow along railroad right-of-ways. The Swaledale railroad prairie, which is in north central Iowa, occurs along the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company right-of-way in Cerro Gordo County.

The railroad right-of-way and an abandoned sand pit, which lies adjacent to the railroad embankment, harbor a collection of tallgrass prairie remnants. The sand pit supplied earthen fill which was used to elevate the original railroad embankment, circa 1887. It is noteworthy that the method of excavation for fill material helped to preserve earthen knolls that are covered with original tallgrass prairie.

Plant collections were acquired …

A New Name For A Continuing Publication, Marilyn D. Bachmann, Roger W. Bachmann

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

With this issue, the former Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science becomes The Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science, a change which coincides with the l00th annual meeting of the Academy. This concludes a process started in 1971 when the Proceedings became a quarterly periodical which also included papers that had not been presented at the previous annual meeting.
