Rainbow Trout Cage Culture And Benthic Production In East-Central South Dakota Dugouts, Glenn David Schuler Jan 1984

Rainbow Trout Cage Culture And Benthic Production In East-Central South Dakota Dugouts, Glenn David Schuler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Forty-five cages, encompassing 1.0 m3 of water, distributed between three dugout ponds, were stocked with rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) fingerlings to determine the feasibility of raising annual fish crops. Growth rates were compared between feeding rate (0, 3, and 5% body weight/day [bwt/day]) and stocking rate (35, 52, and 70 fish/cage). Growth was significantly (P ≤0.05) greater at feeding rates of 3 and 5% bwt/day than 0% bwt/day. The fish fed 0% bwt/day decreased in mean weight by 0.7 g; the weight gain for the 3 and 5% bwt/day feeding rates were 47.2 and 45.2g, respectively. Significant differences (P ≤ …

Environmental, nutritional, and physiological parameters associated with hoof growth and wear were evaluated using data from 140 Holstein cows in five herds. Growth and wear of the dorsal and lateral regions of the front and rear outside claws were measured at approximately 2 mo intervals over a 14 mo period. Housing facilities varied from continuous confinement on concrete to confinement in dirt lots and included loafing sheds, free stall barns, and one comfort stall facility with rubber mats. Lateral hoof regions grew 24% faster than dorsal regions in the front and 20% faster in the rear hooves. Rear hooves grew …


The Efficiency Of Four Selection Schemes For Improvement Of Cold Tolerance And Disease Resistance In Maize, Andrew Rocholl Bettendorf Jan 1984

The Efficiency Of Four Selection Schemes For Improvement Of Cold Tolerance And Disease Resistance In Maize, Andrew Rocholl Bettendorf

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The economic worth of any individual (plant or animal) is usually dependent on more than one trait. Since there is usually more than one trait involved in selection, a breeder’s problem is determining the relative importance of each of these traits. They must then be placed in some logical order so that the best material is selected for the following generations. Arriving at reasonable economic weights for each trait may be fairly difficult, especially if not much is known about the material one is working with. other factors to consider when selecting within a population are, how heritable the trait …


An Epidemiological Study Of Listeria Monocytogenes Using Virulence, Agglutination, And Agglutinin Adsorption Techniques, James R. Hoffman Jan 1984

An Epidemiological Study Of Listeria Monocytogenes Using Virulence, Agglutination, And Agglutinin Adsorption Techniques, James R. Hoffman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The serological characterization of Listeria monocytogenes apparently began with the work by Seastone, who determined that a close serological relationship existed between cultures collected from humans and animals. Schultz et al. and Julianelle et al. later suggested that two serological types existed that could be connected to the origin of the strain. These initial studies were expanded by the work of Paterson, who studied the antigenic structure of Listeria monocytogenes using agglutination and adsorption techniques. Paterson studied somatic and flagellar antigens. The somatic antigens were prepared by growing bacteria on 1% glucose agar at 37°C for 18 h, removed with …


A Morphometric Analysis Of Ultrastructural Changes In The Shoot Apex Of Glycine Max During The Morphogenetic Shift From Quiescence To Germination, Saba Mebrahtu Jan 1984

A Morphometric Analysis Of Ultrastructural Changes In The Shoot Apex Of Glycine Max During The Morphogenetic Shift From Quiescence To Germination, Saba Mebrahtu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research is a study of a morphogenetic shift of the soybean shoot apex from quiescence to germination. The minute changes in the organelles were recorded with the use of stereological methods. The ultrastructural data was statistically analyzed. The ultimate goal was the recognition of relationships between the cell's functional units and its structural units, with the identification of morphogenetic regulation mechanisms. Morphometric image analysis of cellular organelles indicated that storage reserves were transformed from lipid bodies to plastid starch. Proplastids and promitochondria, so difficult to differentiate in early stages of germination became obvious by 96 hours post germination. Significant …

Factors Affecting Biological Control Of Pythium Ultimum On Alfalfa Using Seed Treatment With Gliocladium Virens, Trichoderma Harzianum And T. Hamatum, Dawelbeit A. Abdelwahab

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Gliocladium virens Miller et at. applied as a seed treatment controlled alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. ‘Travois’) damping-off in natural soils artificially infested with high levels of Pythium ultimum Trow, but Trichoderma hamatum (Bon.) Bain and Trichoderma harzianum Ragai were not effective at relatively high soil pH levels. Biocontrol with G. virens was nearly as effective as metalaxyl seed treatment, and better than Captain in most environments. Biocontrol was optimum at sail temperatures between 15 and 30 C, soil moistures of 15% to 30%, soil pH of 6 to 8 and when seeds had been treated with conidial concentrations of 10 …

Ultrastructure Of Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Leaf Cells Infected With Leaf Rust (Puccinia Recondita), And Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus, Saleh H. Shrief

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Puccinia recondita ultrastructure resembles that of other rust species. The urediospore infection was characterized by the formation of a specialized structure, the haustorium, within the leaf cells. The haustorium contains organelles such as nuclei, mitochondria, microbodies, ribosomes, lipid bodies, and vacuoles. A haustorial neck connects the haustorium with the haustorial mother cell, and contains a neck band made up of darkly stained material. The neck band was located at the last one third of its length toward the haustorium. The haustorial mother cell was situated intercellularly, and closely adhering to the cell wall, but contained few organelles, and the nucleus …
