Expression of atrial natriuretic factor in transgenic potatoes
(Lincoln University, 1994)
This thesis describes the expression of the precursor molecule of rat atrial natriuretic factor, ANF-(1-126), in transgenic potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar Iwa). Four ANF gene fusions were constructed for extracellular ...
Genetic diversity in Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) and geographical origin of the New Zealand population
(Lincoln University, 1994)
The Argentine stem weevil, Listronotus bonariensis (Kuschel) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an important introduced pasture pest in New Zealand and causes hundreds of millions of dollars in damage annually to pasture and ...
Purification of a stage-specific lectin receptor from the sheep uterus
(Lincoln University, 1997)
Prenatal mortality in sheep has been estimated to be as high as 30 % of all conceptions with much of the loss occurring before the eighteenth day of gestation. It is possible that the receptive stage of the endometrium to ...
Characterisation of plants regenerated from barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)-H. bulbosum L. hybrids
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Hordeum bulbosum L. is an obligatory outcrossing perennial grass and is considered to be the closest relative of cultivated barley, H. vulgare. H. bulbosum has many useful agronomic traits such as winterhardiness and drought ...
The carbon and nitrogen physiology of Achillea millefolium L. (Yarrow)
(Lincoln University, 1993)
Achillea millefolium (L.) in New Zealand has become an increasing problem on arable and horticultural land where selective control remains difficult to achieve. Patterns of carbon and nitrogen accumulation and use were ...
Towards integrated pest management of phythophagous insects in Tasmanian blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon) plantations in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1999)
Acacia melanoxylon provenance trials were assessed to investigate: (1) The degree to which insect populations influence growth and the change from juvenile to mature foliage. (2) How tree growth rates and overall performance ...
New Zealand flower thrips as a vector of Monilinia fructicola (Wint.) honey in peaches in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1993)
The New Zealand flower thrips, Thrips obscuratus (Crawford) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an important seasonal pest of peaches infesting flowers during spring and mature fruit prior to, and during fruit harvest. Thrips ...
Assessment of IBPGR morphological descriptors in determining pattern within crop germplasm collections
(Lincoln University, 1990)
A series of experiments, using barley (Hordeum vulgare L. emend, Bowden) as an example, were designed to test whether or not the IBPGR taxonomic minimum descriptor lists ensure adequate diversity for subsequent research. ...
Phenology and management of hemipteran pests in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) seed crops, Canterbury (New Zealand)
(Lincoln University, 1998)
New Zealand currently supplies approximately 60% of the world white clover (Trifolium repens L.) seed market, of which 99% is produced in the Canterbury growing region. However, this important cash crop may be infested by ...
Expression and detection of quantitative resistance to Erysiphe pisi DC. in pea (Pisum sativum L.)
(Lincoln University, 1996)
Characteristics of quantitative resistance in pea (Pisum sativum L.) to Erysiphe pisi DC, the pathogen causing powdery mildew, were investigated. Cultivars and seedlines of pea expressing quantitative resistance to E. pisi ...
