Relation Of Hybridity To The Expression Of Gene Dwarf-1 In Maize Coleoptile Growth, Martin C. Goffinet Jan 1971

Relation Of Hybridity To The Expression Of Gene Dwarf-1 In Maize Coleoptile Growth, Martin C. Goffinet

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

ABSTRACT - The plants used in this study were two inbred strains of maize and their hybrid. Each strain segregated for the mendelian gene dwarf-1, approximating a ratio of three normal to one dwarf, with l 00 per cent penetrance. The length of each of fifty coleoptiles per strain was determined at planting and after emergence of the seedlings until maturity of that organ. The dwarf seedlings were compared with their normal sibs within each strain to determine the degree of expression of the mutant gene. The growth parameters determined from the measurements were: l) total elongation of coleoptile after …

The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach Nov 1949

The Structure And Reproduction Of Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The primary purpose of this paper is to summarize investigations concerning the structure and reproduction of the corn plant (Zea mays L.). Because of wide interest in the reproductive process in connection with breeding and genetic studies the floral development, fertilization, and embryology are especially stressed. The morphology and development of the vegetative organs is also included. The botanical relationship, origin, genetics and breeding of corn are briefly considered.


Pollination Cycles And Pollen Dispersal In Relation To Grass Improvement, Melvin D. Jones, L. C. Newell Oct 1946

Pollination Cycles And Pollen Dispersal In Relation To Grass Improvement, Melvin D. Jones, L. C. Newell

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The plant breeder is initially concerned with gaining a knowledge of the breeding behavior of his plant materials in order that improvement may be undertaken effectively. It is important to know the different characteristic pollination habits of these plants. To develop and apply techniques applicable to the improvement of a given grass crop, it is desirable to know the time of day and the number of days that the grass sheds pollen. The effects of temperature, humidity, light, and wind on pollination must be considered. Once superiority of germplasm is obtained, the most important consideration is the maintenance of this …


Corn Investigations, T. A. Kiesselbach Jun 1922

Corn Investigations, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The purpose of the investigations reported in this bulletin has been primarily to determine some of the underlying principles involved in corn improvement. The work comprises a study of some of the physiological characteristics of the crop together with a comparison of various selection, breeding, and cultural practices in their relation to grain yield.


The Regional Adaptation Of Corn In Nebraska, T. A. Kiesselbach, F. D. Keim Apr 1921

The Regional Adaptation Of Corn In Nebraska, T. A. Kiesselbach, F. D. Keim

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

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 …


Freezing Injury Of Seed Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach, J. A. Ratcliff Jun 1920

Freezing Injury Of Seed Corn, T. A. Kiesselbach, J. A. Ratcliff

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

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.


Transpiration As A Factor In Crop Production, T. A. Kiesselbach Jun 1916

Transpiration As A Factor In Crop Production, T. A. Kiesselbach

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

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.
