Disease Progress And Yield Loss Regressions For Several Spring Wheat Cultivars Infected With Fusarium Graminearum At Various Times After Anthesis, Marvin D. Yahnke
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This paper deals with the assessment of yield loss due to wheat scab. The following paragraphs discuss the topic of why loss estimates are needed, why they are difficult to obtain, and how the research provides information toward these ends. Reasonably accurate loss estimates are needed for two purposes: one of the most important may be to guide further research on the problem. In addition, methods of loss assessment are needed to evaluate the degree of control provided by fungicides, cultural practices, or resistant cultivars. Loss estimates are difficult to obtain for two reasons. First, the time period during which …

Isolation And Characterization Of Temperature-Sensitive Protein Synthesis Mutants Of Escherichia Coli By Directed Mutagenesis Of The Defective Bacteriophage Lambda Fus2, Kenton L. Lohman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mutagenesis of the defective transducing bacteriophage lambda fus2 was used to isolate a collection of temperature-sensitive mutants of E. coli in the major ribosomal protein gene cluster. Four mutants were examined in detail. Two of the mutants were resistant to the ribosomal antibiotics neamine and spectinomycin. Another mutant was defective in 50S ribosomal subunit assembly at 42(DEGREES)C. The 30S subunit proteins S17 and S19 were changed in two different mutants. Each protein migrated as a more basic species in two-dimensional gels of ribosomal proteins. Ribosomes from each of the four mutants examined showed a temperature-dependent reduction in translational activity in …

A Study Of Principals’ Supervisory Methods And Emphases In Tennessee School Systems, Bobby J. Bowers
A Study Of Principals’ Supervisory Methods And Emphases In Tennessee School Systems, Bobby J. Bowers
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of this study was to determine if there were differences in principals' supervisory emphases and practices in school systems where the superintendent is appointed and in school systems where the superintendent is elected by popular vote. A total of three hundred principals was surveyed using a Supervisory Practices Inventory developed by Albert and Judith Canfield. The principals responded to questions about supervisory emphasis and practices. The supervisory emphases areas were people, tasks or results, paralleling those developed by Peter Drucker and George Odiorne. The other area of response was in supervisory practices. Three methods were measured by the …

Plant Regeneration In Callus Cultures Derived From Young Inflorescences Of Switchgrass (Panicum Virgatum L.), Wayne A. Sargent
Plant Regeneration In Callus Cultures Derived From Young Inflorescences Of Switchgrass (Panicum Virgatum L.), Wayne A. Sargent
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a native, tall, warm season, perennial, sod-forming grass with vigorous roots and rhizomes. It is found growing throughout most of the United States. However, it is most abundant in the Great Plains Where it is a co-dominant of the Tall Grass Prairie. Grasses have played a predominant role in natural pastures and reseeded grasslands. The world's human population depends heavily on grasses for food and they are a major source of protein and energy for animal growth and performance. Improved breeding methods for grasses are therefore needed to produce higher yielding and better quality forages …
Ozonation And Manganese Greensand Filtration For Iron And Manganese Removal From A Municipal Groundwater Supply, Cary Pieterick
Ozonation And Manganese Greensand Filtration For Iron And Manganese Removal From A Municipal Groundwater Supply, Cary Pieterick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Stoebner and Schjodt both used a pilot plant which treated raw water with ozone gas for the oxidation of iron am manganese and then passed the treated water through an anthracite coal filter. Both agree that the degree of iron and manganese oxidation was greatly affected by changes in ozone dosage but was not greatly affected by changes in detention time. Both also experienced limited filter runs between backwashing because of iron and manganese breakthrough in the filter effluent. Kirscherman used a pilot plant that involved aeration, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) treatment, basin detention, and filtration through a dual media (manganese …
Evaluation Of Gravel Excavation On Ground Water Movement And Quality, Nilaksh Kothari
Evaluation Of Gravel Excavation On Ground Water Movement And Quality, Nilaksh Kothari
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The resource ground water is used by nearly one-half the nation's population for drinking purposes, and 70% of all ground water used is for irrigation. Yet, surprisingly protection of the ground water resource is not covered by a single federal act. Consequently, ground water is a subject of widespread misconceptions. These misconceptions have adversely affected the development, conservation and quality of the ground water. In the mining areas detailed information on the hydrologic environment is needed due to recent mining regulations. In Brookings county of South Dakota, large scale gravel excavations have occurred during the last twenty years. These excavations …
Ribonuclease Ii :A Glycoprotein With Differential Distribution In Tissues Of Two Nonacclimated Cultivars Of Winter Barley, Gregory James Bunkers
Ribonuclease Ii :A Glycoprotein With Differential Distribution In Tissues Of Two Nonacclimated Cultivars Of Winter Barley, Gregory James Bunkers
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research was to develop a more efficient procedure that would enable purification of adequate RNase necessary to further characterize the physical, chemical, and catalytic properties-of the enzymes involved. Two cultivars of winter barley were selected because of previous observations showing differences in RNase amounts and types which was related to freeze survival potential. Plant RNases from many species and cultivars of plants have been studied. Reddi proposed a classification system for plant ribonucleases that was later extended by Wilson. All enzymes that cleave a polynucleotide can be identified as either a nuclease or a phosphodiesterase. Wilson …

Construction Of Shuttle Lac Plasmid Pbw314 And Transformation Of Escherichia Coli And High Ethanol Yielding Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Strains With This Plasmid, Safiollah Bagherpour
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Cheese whey is a by-product of the dairy industry and contains approximately 5% lactose, 0. 9% nitrogenous compounds, and small amounts of vitamins and minerals. It has often been treated as waste. In addition to the loss of these nutrients, its disposal creates pollution problems. Lactose which is the chief nutrient in whey, could be more profitably utilized by being converted into ethanol. Unfortunately, naturally occurring strains of brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) are unable to metabolize lactose and hence cannot convert it to ethanol. The overall objectives of my study were: 1.) To construct a S. cerevisiae - Escherichia coli …
Evaluation Of Seasonal Habitat Use By White-Tailed Deer In Eastern South Dakota, Thomas James Kramlich
Evaluation Of Seasonal Habitat Use By White-Tailed Deer In Eastern South Dakota, Thomas James Kramlich
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Seasonal use of selected habitat types by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was investigated using radio telemetry locations during 1983 and 1984, on a predominantly agricultural area in east-central South Dakota. In the summer of 1983, radio-collared deer used corn, shelterbelts, and wetlands in proportion to their availability. Soybeans, grainfields, and grasslands were avoided. Deer selected shelterbelts in the fall and wetlands during the winter months, for protective cover. Habitat use shifted in the spring and shelterbelts received heavy use, once they became free of drifted snow. Shelterbelts continued to be selected by deer during the summer of 1984. IN the …

The Effect Of Age On The Sensitivity Of Cell Cultures To Clostridium Difficile Toxin, Jo Anne Tichota-Lee
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Clinical microbiology laboratories performing C. difficile toxin assays usually elect to maintain only cell lines shipped from suppliers. In this study, four cell lines, primary human foreskin (HFS), Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO-Kl), HEp-2, and WI-38 were tested for sensitivity to the effects of C. difficile cytotoxin. The influence of the age of the culture and duration of the assay, 4 versus 24 hours, was also examined. Twenty-eight positive and 13 negative patient specimens were tested. Tubes of cells were inoculated at ages of 3,4,5,6,7,9, and 14 days and examined for cytopathic effects at 4 and 24 hours post inoculation. The …

Colchicine Induction Of Tetraploid Plants From Cultured Bulbscale Discs Of The Easter Lily Lilium Longiflorum Thumb, Omar M. Kafawin
Colchicine Induction Of Tetraploid Plants From Cultured Bulbscale Discs Of The Easter Lily Lilium Longiflorum Thumb, Omar M. Kafawin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The demands for genetic improvement of plants are rising and the methods to propagate superior plants are improving through tissue culture. Lilium species are commercially propagated by scaling. The base of each bulbscale initiates a few bulblets. Recently, slices of bulbscales were successfully cultured in vitro and numerous bulblets were directly initiated from the explants, producing an abundance of plantlets. This practice of in vitro vegetative propagation of Lilium species not only increases efficiency of multiplying plantlets but also facilitates induction of polyploidy. Polyploids are frequently demanded for genetic studies and also for their desirable characteristics. Except for the tiger …

Identification Of Volatile Compounds Produced By Brevibacterium Linens That Inhibit Molds, Samuel E. Beattie
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Mold contamination of processed food and its raw ingredients is a major concern in agriculture. Although at one time mold contamination of cheese and other foods was considered to be of little conse9uence, discovery of carcinogenic and/or teratogenic toxins (73) produced by molds commonly associated with food has changed this innocuous and frequent inconvenience into a serious health consideration. The presence of mold on or in cheese is a common occurrence, indeed, many cheeses depend upon molds to provide characteristic cheese flavor and texture. Cheeses such as blue, Roquefort, Camembert, and Brie are ripened under controlled conditions by species of …
