  • Plant Diseases
  • Grain Growing
CONT

Blue dwarf of oats, caused by the oat blue dwarf virus, is transmitted from diseased to healthy plants during the process of feeding by adult aster leafhoppers(Macrosteles fascifrons). Immature leafhoppers may occasionally transmit the blue dwarf virus... An oat plant infected with blue dwarf is greatly stunted and becomes uniformly dark bluish green. The leaves, especially the flag leaf, are stiffer, shorter than normal... and stand out at a greater angle from the culm than those of healthy plants. Enations occur on the leaf and culm veins. Tillers appear in larger numbers, and may form above the crown. Infected plants usually remain green in the field longer than healthy plants.

OBS

Also found on barley.

The act of felling something (as a tree).

OBS

felling : The act... of cutting down a standing tree or culm.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation forestière
DEF

Mettre à bas, renverser, couper des arbres, arbrisseaux, etc.

OBS

L'apparition de la scie à chaîne a marqué une révolution dans les techniques d'abattage, cette opération s'étant jusque-là effectuée à l'aide de haches, puis de scies manuelles à un homme ou à deux hommes. Une seconde révolution s'est fait sentir avec l'arrivée sur le marché d'engins d'abattage nombreux et de plus en plus complexes, grâce auxquels l'ouvrier forestier peut maintenant travailler à l'intérieur d'un habitacle protégé.

Subject field(s)
  • Forestry Operations
DEF

The act of felling something (as a tree).

OBS

felling : The act... of cutting down a standing tree or culm.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation forestière
DEF

Abattre des arbres à titre professionnel et de manière artisanale; faire le travail du bûcheron.

OBS

Bûcher et bûcheronner, dans les sens indiqués ci-haut, s'assimilent au travail réalisé à titre professionnel et de manière artisanale, généralement à la hache ou à la scie. Le Trésor de la langue française considère «bûcheronner» comme étant rare. Ces deux termes apparaissent au Québec comme des acceptions vieillies et ils ne sauraient être remplacés synonymiquement par le verbe «abattre».

Subject field(s)
  • Morphology and General Physiology
CONT

We constructed a simulation model which incorporates current knowledge an relating small grain development to environmental factors. The model is predicated to phyllochron(the interval between appearance of successive leaves on a culm) as the of time measuring the interval between events during the development of the plant. T was first constructed to simulate winter wheat in the Northern hemisphere(Found on the internet at wwwswcru. unl. edu).

CONT

’AC Juniper’ has a shorter and narrower flag leaf than the reference varieties. ’AC Juniper’ has a slightly earlier heading date and is shorter in height. The culm of ’AC Juniper’ is thinner and the panicle is narrower than the reference varieties. The kernel shape is less plump for ’AC Juniper’ than for ’Cascade’ and ’Derby’.

CONT

To identify QTLs associated with horticultural yield it is necessary to conduct replicated plot trials of the tested genotypes. The first step in the utilization of an introgression-line (IL) population of Lycopersicon pennellii in a processing-tomato variety (M82) for mapping such QTLs was to screen 51 ILs in a non-replicated plot trial. The results of this survey were compared to those obtained in a replicated trial of the same genotypes grown as single plants at wide spacing. Fruit characteristics were similar between the two stands, but yield was generally different. (From an abstract found in Dialog).

CONT

Chez les mutants précoces les taux des amino-acides dans les feuilles supérieures sont plus faibles que chez la variété de référence alors que c'est le contraire chez les mutants tardifs. Dans les feuilles âgées il y a moins d'amino-acides quelques soit la précocité du mutant. Individuellement certains amino-acides subissent des variations différentes. (Dialog).
