  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
CONT

The Shredblock test is a field test to measure the relative instability of the snowpack in a backcountry setting with minimal equipment. The Shredblock test is based on the Rutschblock test but uses a snowboard instead of skis to load an isolated column of snow.

CONT

Field tests indicated a significant new snowpack instability. [Example approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.]

OBS

field test: term officially approved by the Avalanche Bulletin Terminology Standardization Committee.

Subject field(s)
  • Farming Techniques

CONT

Generations derived from two transgenic barley lines were inluded in the trial. These were produced using th BioRad PDS 1000/He particle device to introduce DNA to immature embryos of the spring variety Golden Promise, (Harwood et al. submitted to Euphytica). Line HB1 contains the plasmid pAHC25 (Christensen and Quail, 1996) and line HC1 contains plasmids pAL51 and pAL74 (Lonsdale et al. 1995). Both pAHC25 and pAL51 contain the bar gene, encoding herbicide resistance, as a selectable marker as well as a reporter gene, gus or luc repectively, and pAL74 contains a fungal glucoamylase gene. Both T1 and T2 generations of line HB1 were represented in the trial, where T0 was the primary transformant. Only the T1 generation of HC1 was included. Lines HB1 and HC1 were selected for the field trial from a number of transgenic lines in the glasshouse. These lines were chosen on the basis of a visual selection for normal appearance and full fertility. Both lines had normal chromosome number and showed the expected sigle gene segregation in the T1 generation.
