A 2,500-Year Neolithic Revolution in the American Southwest
(11/3/2015 )
This presentation briefly reviews diverse early agricultural site complexes in both the southern and northern parts of the American Southwest and questions the usefulness of a single concept of how the elements of a ...
LIPID PRODUCTION, PHOTOSYNTHESIS ADJUSTMENT AND CARBON PARTITIONING OF MICROALGA CHLORELLA SOROKINIANA CULTURED UNDER MIXOTROPHIC AND HETEROTROPHIC CONDITIONS
(2014)
Microalgae have attracted growing attention for renewable biofuel production. In this work, microalga Chlorella sorokiniana was explored for its potential for lipid production. The results showed that C. sorokiniana could ...
A PREDICTIVE GENETIC KNOWLEDGE FOR APPLE "FRESH SENSATION" PROVIDES INFORMATION TO INCREASE BREEDING EFFICIENCY IN WASHINGTON
(2014)
Apple texture and flavor are fruit quality components that determine the success of new apple cultivars and consumer satisfaction. Better-tasting apples encourage greater consumption and health benefits. The combined suite ...
GENOMIC CHARACTERIZATION AND MOLECULAR INVESTIGATIONS INTO NEGATIVE-STRANDED RNA VIRUSES OF PLANTS
(2014)
Tospoviruses are economically important viruses affecting a wide range of field and horticultural crops worldwide. Tospoviruses contain large (L) RNA, medium (M) RNA and small (S) RNA. Sequence analysis of the NSs gene in ...
Quantifying Relationships between Ecology and Aesthetics in Agricultural Landscapes
(2013)
Biodiversity decline and ecological degradation continue unabated despite accumulation of ecological knowledge, proliferation of sustainability research, and efforts to conserve natural resources. This paradox underscores ...
Assessing Status of and Resistance to Phytophthora Root Rot on True Fir (Abies spp.)
(2016)
Many fir species (Abies) are susceptible to Phytophthora Root Rot (PRR). Poor drainage and standing water facilitate pathogen survival, proliferation, and spore dispersal. Disease is caused by numerous Phytophthora spp. ...
Statistical Applications in Plant Breeding and Genetics
(2012)
Statistical analysis has many applications ensuring the validity and reproducibility of plant breeding and genetics research. Crop plant germplasm collections are often too large to be of use regularly. A core subset with ...
INVESTIGATIONS INTO PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE CRITICAL WATER ACTIVITY FROM DYNAMIC DEWPOINT ISOTHERMS
(2015)
Moisture plays an important role in the stability and storability of grain and grain based products. Stability factors such as microbial growth and texture are impacted by moisture and are well correlated to water activity, ...
Agronomic and Sociological Aspects of Organic Cropping Systems in the Dryland Pacific Northwest
(2016)
Of the 4.8 million acres devoted to organic winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the U.S., less than 1% of organic wheat acreage is located in Washington State, despite the highly productive soils and record ...
Report: Antibiotic residues on plant tissues
(2013)
Antibiotics have been used to control plant diseases for over 50 years (McManus et al., 2002). The quantity of antibiotics used for crop protection is small relative to livestock production and potential human exposure ...
