The influence of bulb maturity at bulb harvest on growth and flowering response of Ornithogalum thyrsoides Jacq. ‘Chesapeake Starlight’ was investigated. Experiments were designed to determine if bulb maturity can be induced by bulb storage temperatures and whether bulb maturity can be evaluated by flowering responses. Bulbs with all senesced leaves at harvest were considered ‘‘mature’’ or with...

INTRODUCTION Osteochondroma is a benign bony lesion with cartilaginous cap occurring usually in long bones, but flat bones may also be involved, either isolated or as a part of a syndrome. Usually, they are asymptomatic, but appearance of symptoms such as mass effect may warrant surgical intervention, which is usually delayed till skeletal maturity.

Corn is physiologically mature when kernels reach maximum dry weight and are safe from frost. All milky fluid disappears from the kernel, and the black layer, a dark layer of cells, forms near the tip of mature kernels. Most hybrids adapted to Wisconsin reach this stage when kernel moisture decreases to 30–32%, but it may not occur until moisture content decreases to 28% for some early hybrids....
