Use of herbicides, tillage, and grazing cattle for establishment of corn in rotation with alfalfa and rye
… studied during 2 yr in a randomized block design to determine alfalfa (Medicago sativa) survival, corn (Zea mays) plant populations and corn growth in an alfalfa-corn rotation. Alfalfa was overseeded with rye (Secale cereale) in autumn prior to planting corn in spring of each year. Treatments were …

Predicting the impact of climate change on vernalization for Arabidopsis thaliana
… period of cold, known as vernalization, to ensure prompt floral transition occurs in spring. This thesis addresses the question of whether partial saturation of cold requirements might delay flowering under future climate scenarios. Laboratory experiments set up to parameterize a …

Passive solar space heating in housing with particular reference to the Scottish climate.
The objective of this work was to examine the technical and economic scope for partial passive solar space heating of housing in Scotland. Initially an appraisal of current need and policy within an historical framework, established that trends towards low-rise, medium density housing with reduced …

Identification of differentially expressed genes in the commercially important agarophyte, Gracilaria gracilis, following nitrogen deprivation
… occurring within Saldahna Bay during the summer to autumn months, however, is considered to be the major factor preventing commercial cultivation of G. gracilis. Algae possess various survival mechanisms that generally involve the activation or repression of various gene regulatory systems. Such …
