The effect of three Strains of tobacco mosaic virus on peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity in nicotiana tabacum
(1965)Polyphenol oxidase activity, peroxidase activity and virus titer were determined at 2-day intervals for 22 days in tobacco leaf tissue singly infected by three strains of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). The aucuba and yellow ... -
Effect of initial clod size on characteristics of splash and wash erosion
(1968)Wash erosion increased as initial clod size increased from 0.5–2 mm to 8–30 mm on a Marshall silty clay loam except in the case of clods from continuous bromegrass (Bromus inermis). Wash losses increased as size increased ... -
Microenvironment and plant characteristics of corn (Zea mays L.) planted at two row spacings
(1970)Development and yield of hybrid corn planted at 50- and 75-cm row spacings and thinned to final stands of 44,000 plants/ha were studied. Micrometeorological parameters were recorded during the 3 weeks before and 3 weeks ... -
Frequency Distribution of Maize Yield Before and After Reciprocal Recurrent Selection
(1977)Reciprocal recurrent selection in populations of Zea mays L. will be of great value if the increase in mean performance is accompanied by a corresponding increase in performance of hybrids found in the upper tail of the ... -
Metabolism of Myo-Inositol and Growth in Various Sugars of Suspension cultured Tobacco Cells
(1978)Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells were cultured in a liquid medium which contained sucrose as a source of carbon and energy. Various cell-wall constituents and wall precursors (Larabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-mannose, ... -
Antibiosis/Antixenosis in Tulip Tree and Quaking Aspen Leaves Against The Polyphagous Southern Armyworm, Spodoptera eridania
(1984)Previous studies have shown leaves of tulip tree, Liriodendron tulipifera L. (of the Magnoliaceae) and of Populus tremuloides Michx. (of the Salicaceae) to be antixenotic/antibiotic to many Lepidoptera, including one of ... -
Consumption and Utilization of Experimentally Altered Corn by Southern Armyworm: Iron, Nitrogen, and Cyclic Hydroxamates
(1985)The effects of differential leaf water, leaf nitrogen and cyclic hydroxamate (DIMBOA) concentrations in corn seedlings were analyzed for a polyphagous insect, the southern armyworm (Spodoptera eridania Cram.). Six different ... -
Neonate Larval Survival of European Corn Borers, Ostrinia Nubilalis, on High and Low Dimboa Genotypes of Maize: Effects of Light Intensity and Degree of Insect Inbreeding
(1985)Neonate (newly eclosed) larvae of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilasis Hubner, were studied in regard to their feeding responses on 9 different genotypes of field corn, Zea mays L., which were grown under two different ... -
Studies on Peat in the coastal Plains of Sumatera and Borneo
(1988)the physiography and geomorphologi of the coastal plains in jambi and south kalimantan were studied with the aim of describing the recent sediments deposited there. -
Comparison of the non-volatile ethyl acetate-extractable reaction products formed in a xylose-lysine model system heated with and without pH control
(1993)Aqueous solutions of xylose (1 m) and lysine monohydrochloride (1 m), initial pH 5.27, were refluxed for 1 h, either without pH control (final pH 2.83) or by maintaining the pH at 5 throughout heating by the addition of ... -
Increase of Seed Yield and Physical Quality in a Pinus radiata Control-Pollinated Meadow Seed Orchard
(1995)Experiments were initiated to increase seed yield and physical quality in a new zealand pinus radiata controlled pollinated (CP) seed orchad. -
The effect of fungicides on vesiculararbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
(1995)Two experiments were conducted uder controlled environmental conditions to determine the effects of the three fungicides, Benlate@, and Aliette@ and Ridomil@, on efficiency of P uptake from the soil and transfer across the ... -
The effects of early-season treatments with doramectin on set-stocked calves naturally exposed to trichostrongyles
(1995)A study was carried out to evaluate the effects of strategic early-season treatments with doramectin on first-season grazing calves exposed to trichostronglylid infection on a naturally contaminated pasture. Two groups of ... -
The use of dilution rate cycling to stabilise recombinant plasmids in continuous culture of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(1995)The use of dilution rate cycling to stabilise multiple copies of recombinant plasmid pLG669-z in continuous culture of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae over different amplitudes and different frequencies of cycling was ... -
Surveys on Postharvest Handling, Aspergillus Flavus Infection, and Aflatoxin Contamination of Maize Collected from Farmers and Traders
(1996)Postharvest handling, Aspergillus flavus infection, aflatoxin contamination, moisture contents, and percentages of damaged kernels of maize were surveyed in Central Lampung (Lampung province) and Kediri (East Java province) ... -
Managing Tropical Rice Pests Through Conservation of Generalist Natural Enemies and Alternative Prey
(1996)The cultivation of tropical Asian rice, which may have originated 9000 yr ago, represents an agricultural ecosystem of unrivaled ecological complexity. We undertook a study of the community ecology of irrigated tropical ...
