Cereal Chem. 87(5):467–474 Oat (Avena sativa L.) kernels appear to contain much higher polar lipid concentrations than other plant tissues. We have extracted, identified, and quantified polar lipids from 18 oat genotypes grown in replicated plots in three environments to determine genotypic or environmental variation in these lipids. Validation experiments indicated a solid phase silica gel ext...

In the face of growing oil demand the use of renewable feedstocks for the potential to supply transportation fuels, electricity, chemicals and materials is increasingly attractive. This review covers novel technologies and pathways to produce liquid fuels and chemical intermediates in an efficient and cost-effective way. Several commercial and pilot scale projects by companies including Anellot...

The combinatorial approach to software testing uses models, particularly an Orthogonal Array Testing Strategy (OATS) is proposed as a systematic, statistical way of testing pair-wise interactions to generate a minimal number of test inputs so that selected combinations of input values are covered. Because of these advantages, combinatorial testing methods are often applied in cases of the confi...

The aim of this work was to analyze the clonal diversity variation in Schizaphis graminum during a complete phenological cycle of black oats (Avena strigosa). RAPD markers were used for detection of DNA polymorphisms of each clonal lineage, derived from a single clone collected weekly during a period of four months, in a crop field of black oats, Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. The monthly genotypic ...

photosynthesis (1). Total radioactivity fixed per leaf was unchanged by the two-hour treatment with gibberellic acid; typical results are shown in table I. Similar results were also obtained in one experiment with Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Examination of autoradiograms of the chromatograms of extracts from the oats, barley, and peas showed no significant differences in the distribution of C'4 amon...

The root rots of wheat, oats, barley, and rye are among the least conspicuous diseases of cereals, but they are among the most destructive. They are caused by many species of fungi, which are widespread and live on or in seed, soil, and dead plant refuse. They attack a large number of hosts and thrive under a wide range of conditions. To the many types of root rots in cereal crops many names ha...
