The Regional Adaptation Of Corn In Nebraska, T. A. Kiesselbach, F. D. Keim
The Regional Adaptation Of Corn In Nebraska, T. A. Kiesselbach, F. D. Keim
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this investigation was to determine some of the factors involved in the regional adaptation of corn. The procedure has been to make a comparative study of native corn types, known to be locally adapted to various regional areas in Nebraska through long growth there. The work has been confined to the single species group - Zea mays indentata. No one variety of a common source is grown throughout the state, and therefore it has been impossible to keep within a single variety. It would appear that the data should indicate morphological and histological plant characteristics involved …
The Relative Frequency Of Crossing Over In Microspore And In Megaspore Development In Maize, R. A. Emerson, C. B. Hutchison
The Relative Frequency Of Crossing Over In Microspore And In Megaspore Development In Maize, R. A. Emerson, C. B. Hutchison
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
One of the early developments in the study of linkage in Drosophila was the discovery that the phenomenon of crossing over is confined to the female sex (Morgan 1912). The fact that no crossing over occurs in the male Drosophila holds true not only for sex-linked genes but for factors in the autosomes as well and is so well established that it affords a most convenient method of determining to which of the different linkage groups a new factor belongs.
The same phenomenon, but with the sexes reversed, obtains in the silkworm moth. Tanaka (1914, 1915) has found from back-cross …
Heritable Characters Of Maize: Ix. Crinkly Leaf, R. A. Emerson
Heritable Characters Of Maize: Ix. Crinkly Leaf, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
In 1910 a strain of dent corn obtained at the National Corn Exposition held at Omaha was crossed with a strain of flint corn obtained from the Department of Agronomy of the University of Nebraska. The F1 plants of this cross were normal and no abnormalities had been observed in the parent strains. But since the latter had not been subjected to self-pollination, there is no assurance that one or other of them did not have in it the character to be described here. In the F2 generation of this cross there occurred a tpe of plant that …
Freezing Injury Of Seed Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach, J. A. Ratcliff
Freezing Injury Of Seed Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach, J. A. Ratcliff
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The object of the investigations in this bulletin has been to determine the conditions under which freezing injury may occur to seed corn; to indicate, if possible, the vital changes in the embryo resulting in such injury; and to point out ways by which seed corn of strong vitality and satisfactory yielding capacity may be obtained.
Heritable Characters Of Maize Ii.-Pistillate Flowered Maize Plants, R. A. Emerson
Heritable Characters Of Maize Ii.-Pistillate Flowered Maize Plants, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
In the "freak"
class at the Annual
Corn Show held at Lincoln, Nebraska,
in the winter of 1913-14,
there was exhibited a corn tassel
with a heavy setting of seeds. A few
seeds are not infrequently found in the
staminate inflorescence of maize, particularly
in pod com, and tillers of various
corn varieties often end in ears instead
of in tassels or have tassels, the central
spikes of which are ear like. The freak
exhibited at the com show, however,
was a large. much branched affair.
wholly tassel-like in form except for the
fact that it bore a heavy crop …
Genetical Studies Of Variegated Pericarp In Maize, R. A. Emerson
Genetical Studies Of Variegated Pericarp In Maize, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Two years ago there were presented some results of a study of the inheritance of self pattern in the pericarp of maize seeds, occurring as a sporophytic2 variation in variegated ears (EMERSON1 914). Further results, in entire accord with those previously reported, have now been obtained. In addition, data bearing upon new phases of the problem are also available.
The chief results reported in the earlier paper were the following: ( I ) The more nearly self-colored the pericarp of any seed of a variegated ear, the more likely is the progeny of that seed to produce a self-colored ear …
Transpiration As A Factor In Crop Production, T. A. Kiesselbach
Transpiration As A Factor In Crop Production, T. A. Kiesselbach
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The object of experiments reported in this bulletin has been to determine principles according to which water is used by crops. In many agricultural districts, water is frequently a seriously limiting factor in crop production. It has been thought that some means might be devised through a correct understanding of the principles involved, whereby economy in the use of water in farm practice could be increased. In this effort there are two chief points of attack, namely, (1) adjusting the external factors to the needs of the plant, and (2) selecting plants adapted to the conditions.
A Genetic Study Of Plant Height In Phaseolus Vulgaris, R. A. Emerson
A Genetic Study Of Plant Height In Phaseolus Vulgaris, R. A. Emerson
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
When pole and bush beans are crossed, 3:1 segregation results whether the pole bean is very tall or only medium in height and whether the bush bean is very short or relatively tall. To determine the interrelation of these two types of behavior by an analysis of the factors concerned in height of plants in beans and by a study of their mode of inheritance was the object of the investigations reported here.
The Inheritance Of A Recurring Somatic Variation In Variegated Ears Of Maize, R. A. Emerson
The Inheritance Of A Recurring Somatic Variation In Variegated Ears Of Maize, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
The inheritance of variegation has special interest and importance in genetics. It is with forms of variegation that the only two certainly known cases of non-Mendelian inheritance have had to do. I refer to Baur's experiments with Pelargonium, in which crosses of green-leaved and white-leaved forms exhibited somatic segregations in F1 that bred true in later generations, and to Correns 's work with Mirabilis, which showed green and white leaf color, to be inherited through the mother only. De Vries's con- ception of "ever-sporting" varieties was apparently founded largely upon the behavior of variegated flowers in pedigree …
Multiple Factors Vs. "Golden Mean" In Size Inheritance, R. A. Emerson
Multiple Factors Vs. "Golden Mean" In Size Inheritance, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Groth's preliminary note on the "golden mean" in the inheritance of sizes in SCIENCE of April 17, 1914, pp. 581-584, deserves the attention of geneticists. Its publication is of such recent date that I need only call attention to one or two points that seem to me of particular moment.
In brief, Groth's hypothesis is that the mode
of inheritance in Fl not only of surfaces and
volumes, but also of linear dimensions is to be
expressed by √ab rather than by a + b /2
where a and b are parent sizes. The hypothesis
is based upon …
Shorter Articles And Reports: The Simultaneous Modification Of Distinct Mendelian Factors, R. A. Emerson
Shorter Articles And Reports: The Simultaneous Modification Of Distinct Mendelian Factors, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
In another paper on the inheritance of a recurring somatic variation in variegated ears of maize, it was shown that the amount of red color developed in the pericarp of variegated seeds bears a definite relation to the development of color in the progeny of such seeds. The relation is such that the more color there is in the pericarp of the seeds planted the more likely are they to produce plants with wholly self-red ears and correspondingly the less likely to produce plants with variegated ears. Self-red ears thus produced behave just as if they were hybrids between self-red …
Shorter Articles And Discussion Simplified Mendelian Formulae, R. A. Emerson
Shorter Articles And Discussion Simplified Mendelian Formulae, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
I was somewhat surprised by 'Morgan's and Castle's suggestions for a simplification of Mendelian formulae. My surprise was not occasioned so much by the forms these suggestions took as by the fact that any pronounced changes were deemed necessary. I had not only employed the usual formula in my own work but had found no difficulty worth mentioning in understanding the formula used by most other workers in Mendelian fields. My experience with students in elementary courses in genetics had not prepared me for the idea that such formula were particularly difficult. Nevertheless I believe in simplifying the formulae if …
The Possible Origin Of Mutations In Somatic Cells, R. A. Emerson
The Possible Origin Of Mutations In Somatic Cells, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
That mutations are accompanied by some change in the germ-plasm is, I take it, indisputable. Have we, however, any reason to suppose that the change takes place within the germ cells? I am not sure, as a matter of fact, that genetists in general regard the gametes as the place of origin of mutations. It is true, however, that experiments in the artificial production of mutations in plants have been limited largely to treatments of the ovaries from about the time of the reduction division to about the time of fertilization. This suggests a belief on the part of investigators …
The Unexpected Occurrence Of Aleurone Colors In F2 Of A Cross Between Non-Colored Varieties Of Maize, R. A. Emerson
The Unexpected Occurrence Of Aleurone Colors In F2 Of A Cross Between Non-Colored Varieties Of Maize, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Before the Mendelian methods of analysis became available, considerable wonder would doubtless have been excited by the "mysterious" appearance in F2 of one colored grain-purple or red-to every five or six white ones in case of a maize cross, both parents and F, of which had only white grains. An occurrence of this sort has recently been noted in one of my maize cultures and the F2 numbers are explained here as a trihybrid or tetrahybrid ratio. The crosses in question were made primarily for a study of size inheritance and fairly large numbers have been grown. The varieties …
Discussion And Correspondence Coupling Vs. Random Segregation, R. A. Emerson
Discussion And Correspondence Coupling Vs. Random Segregation, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
To the editor of science: The suggestion offered by Morgan, in SCIENCE of September 22, to account for the coupling and repulsion of factors for various characters in inheritance in such forms as Abraxas, Drosophila, fowls, sweet peas, etc., incites this note.
Briefly Morgan's hypothesis is (1) that the materials representing factors that couple are "near together in a linear series" in the chromosomes; (2) that, when pairs of parental chromosomes conjugate, "like regions stand opposed "; (3) that "homologous chromosomes twist around each other," but that the separation of chromosomes is in a single "plane"; (4) that, thereby the …
The Inheritance Of Sizes And Shapes In Plants, R. A. Emerson
The Inheritance Of Sizes And Shapes In Plants, R. A. Emerson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Some years ago Lock reported a cross of a tall race of maize with a shorter race which produced an intermediate height in F1 and exhibited no segregation in F2 when crossed back with one of the parents. Castle's results with rabbits are very similar to those of Lock with maize. Castle summarizes his results in part as follows:
A cross between rabbits differing in ear-length produces offspring with ears of intermediate length, varying about the mean of the parental ear-lengths. . . . A study of the offspring of the primary cross-breds shows the blend of the …
