Productivity Estimation In Halodule Wrightii: Comparison Of Leaf-Clipping And Leaf-Marking Techniques, And The Importance Of Clip Height, Joseph L. Kowalski, Hudson R. Deyoe, Terry C. Allison, James E. Kaldy Jan 2001

Productivity Estimation In Halodule Wrightii: Comparison Of Leaf-Clipping And Leaf-Marking Techniques, And The Importance Of Clip Height, Joseph L. Kowalski, Hudson R. Deyoe, Terry C. Allison, James E. Kaldy

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences (Formerly Dept. of Biology)

We compared estimates of Halodule wrightii leaf growth rates obtained from leaf-clipping and leaf-piercing methods in a south Texas lagoon. Leaf clipping underestimated leaf production from 15 to 37% in winter and 25 to 60% in summer relative to leaf piercing. The underestimation of leaf-clipping derived growth rates were corrected using a linear regression between leaf growth rates determined by leaf-clipping and leaf-piercing methods. To examine the effect of clip height on H. wrightii leaf growth rate estimation, leaves were clipped at 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 cm above the sediment. Leaves clipped at 2 cm exhibited the fastest …

Volume Management In San Environment, Chang-Soo Kim, Gyoung-Bae Kim, Bum-Joo Shin Jan 2001

Volume Management In San Environment, Chang-Soo Kim, Gyoung-Bae Kim, Bum-Joo Shin

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Logical volume managers have long been key components of a storage system. Their key features are creation of logical or virtual views of physical storage devices and support for various software RAID levels. These make it possible to overcome the limits to capacity, availability and performance of a physical storage device. Most logical volume managers are operated in a single system environment. They are not adequate for SAN (storage area network) environments where several hosts share and access a logical volume at the same time. Some recent logical volume managers are run in a multi-host environment. However, they cannot support …

Susceptibility Of Different Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Cultivars To Agrobacterium Tumefaciens, Azi̇z Karakaya, Sebahatti̇n Özcan Jan 2001

Susceptibility Of Different Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Cultivars To Agrobacterium Tumefaciens, Azi̇z Karakaya, Sebahatti̇n Özcan

Turkish Journal of Biology

Although several direct gene transfer techniques have been developed, Agrobacterium tumefaciens is still preferred for the transfer of foreign genes into many plant species. Perhaps the greatest weakness of A. tumefaciens is the host range limitation. Therefore, in this study, the susceptibility of different bean cultivars to oncogenic A. tumefaciens strain A281 was assessed. The cultivars 4F-2409, Karacaşehir-90, Akman-98 and Eskişehir-855 resulted in higher frequencies of tumor formation than the other cultivars tested. Tumor formation was not observed in Afyon-3, IVD-10, Göynük-98, Yunus-90 or Şehirali-90 bean cultivars. Tumor formation was observed on both the hypocotyl and epicotyl portions of the …
