Activation of Germination in Douglas Fir Seed by Hydrogen Peroxide.
The stimulation of the photooxidase by ammonium sulfate and potassium phosphate was examined in some detail. Maximum stimulation was as much as 10-fold in 1.3 to 1.5 M (NH4)9SO4 in the presence of 0.3 mM KCN. Part of this stimulatory effect was due to the cyanide. Phosphate and citrate also stimulated strongly, and salts of monovalent anions had smaller effects. Many typical inhibitors of photo...
متن کاملPollen contamination trends in a maturing Douglas-fir seed orchard
Pollen contamination was investigated in one block (block 4) of a 10-block Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seed orchard complex in western Oregon. Blocks (25 clones each) represent different breeding zones; thus, contaminant pollen sources not only included the adjacent natural stand of Douglas-fir, but also other blocks within the orchard complex. Stored seed lots from five ...
متن کاملOlfactory Responses of Deer Mice to Douglas-fir Seed Volatiles
An attempt was made to identify the olfactory cues produced by Douglas-fir seeds which attract deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) to the seeds. The olfactometers used are described, and the merits of different statistical analyses of the data are discussed. The odors produced by whole Douglas-fir seed and by the endosperm were preferred among the fractions tested to date. Deer mice were repelle...
متن کاملDouglas-fir beetle
1Principal Entomologist and Project Leader (retired), Forestry Sciences Laboratory, USDA Forest Service, Moscow, ID; 2Forest Entomologist, USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Protection, Northern Region, Coeur d’Alene, ID. Douglas-fir beetle galleries are distinctive, having eggs laid individually in niches alternating on opposite sides of the gallery. The Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudo...
متن کاملGrowth phenology of coast Douglas-fir seed sources planted in diverse environments.
The timing of periodic life cycle events in plants (phenology) is an important factor determining how species and populations will react to climate change. We evaluated annual patterns of basal-area and height growth of coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotusga menziesii var. menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings from four seed sources that were planted in four diverse environments as part of the Douglas-fi...
