A physiological approach to disease yield loss relationships in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
Methods for estimation of crop losses caused by disease are based largely on empirical models. Recently there has been an increased awareness that a more mechanistic approach with a greater understanding of the physiological ...
Invasion success and impacts of Hieracium lepidulum in a New Zealand tussock grassland and montane forest
(Lincoln University, 2010)
Invasive species represent a major concern; they can result in serious ecological and economic losses and are recognised as one of the most serious threats to global species diversity. Plant invasions are of particular ...
Carbohydrate structure of heterogeneity of α₁antitrypsin
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
Three unique tryptic glycopeptides have been isolated from human α₁antitrypsin and their amino acid sequences determined. The recognition sequences for the attachment of carbohydrate were found to be Asn-Ser-Thr, Asn-Leu-Thr ...
A study of the biology and population dynamics of Synanthedon tipuliformis (Clerck) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
The study covered the period August 1971 to February 1975 and was conducted in three blackcurrant plots. One plot comprised mature bushes that were pruned but not sprayed during the course of the study; the other two plots ...
The investigation of some biochemical factors which may govern the rootability of Rhododendron stem cuttings
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1977)
The present study was conducted to compare the qualitative and quantitative differences in some of the biochemical parameters which may be involved in the variations in rootability of Rhododendrons. R. ponticum was taken ...
The potential of native damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) as bioindicators of insecticide contamination of freshwater
(Lincoln University, 1998)
This thesis investigated if and how New Zealand damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) could be used as bioindicators of insecticide contamination of freshwater.
Two damselfly species are common throughout New Zealand: ...
An investigation of the antifertility effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate in rabbits
(Lincoln University, 1991)
A series of studies was carried out to investigate feasibility of chemical fertility control in wild rabbit populations. Initial trials were designed to investigate in vivo kinetics and bioavailability properties of MPA ...
Deciduousness in the New Zealand flora: Modelling the consequences of winter leaf loss for annual canopy carbon uptake
(Lincoln University, 2002)
This thesis investigates aspects of deciduousness in the native New Zealand tree flora by modelling the consequences of winter leaf loss on annual carbon uptake for two co-occurring tree species with contrasting leaf habit; ...
Ecology of Coleophora spissicornis (Haworth) and C. frischella (Linnaeus) associated with Trifolium repens Linnaeus in Canterbury, New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
This thesis reports the first comprehensive ecological study on a population of Coleophora spissicornis and C. frischella infesting Trifolium repens. The study was conducted at Lincoln, New Zealand during the summer seasons ...
Control of uteroglobin gene expression
(Lincoln University, 1994)
Eukaryotic nuclear genes are regulated by a complex array of transcription factors that influence RNA polymerase II activity. Included among these factors are the cellular receptors for steroid hormones. The rabbit uteroglobin ...
