Subject:
cultivars; image analysis; classification; hard white wheat; hard red spring wheat; near-infrared spectroscopy; color; winter wheat
Abstract:
... Color class of wheat is an important attribute for the identification of cultivars and the marketing of wheat, but is not always easy to measure in the visible spectral range because of variation in vitreosity and surface structure of the kernels. This work examines whether short-wavelength near infrared (SW-NIR) imaging in the range 632 - 1098 nm can be used to distinguish different cultivars. Th ...

Abstract:
... The average amount of self-pollination obtained under these conditions was 5.13 percent, but this figure may not represent the percentage of self-pollination taking place under all field conditions, since humidity and wind are factors which determine the zone of infection between hills. To obtain significant figures the experiment should be repeated for several years. Better examples of the effect ...

Abstract:
... The presence of sodium nitrate in the soil at the early stages of growth stimulated the vegetative growth of the crops and consequently gave greater yields. The presence of sodium nitrate in the soil at the time of heading gave a better quality of grain with reference to color and protein content. The vegetative growth was, however, not in the least affected. The presence of sodium nitrate in the ...

Abstract:
... The quantity of Marquis wheat produced in the Pacific Northwest and Montana during the crop year of 1916 was much larger than usual. This was due to an increased acreage of this variety in certain sections of the Inland Empire, and to the reseeding of the winter wheat fields which had been frozen out early in the season in sections of Montana. Marquis wheat grown at Pullman, Wash., was higher in p ...

Abstract:
... Two types of growth habit in soybeans are described, one a tall, luxuriant growing, late maturing type (Type I); the other, a low, compact, early maturing type (Type II). Genetically these two types behave as allelomorphic characters, Type I being dominant. The genetic difference between them appears to be determined by a single factor pair S, s. Dark-colored and light-colored pods constitute an a ...

Abstract:
... A pale mutant row of beans was found in a selection of white-seeded Robust X Pink. The pale plants have lighter colored leaves than normal. The pale plants yield about one-fourth as much as the normal green Robust variety; however, there is no mortality in germination. The F1, plants from pale X Robust and reciprocal are green. The F2 plants segregate 3 green: 1 pale. The pales were generally fewe ...

The stocks were bred so that all four color classes occurred with approximately equal numbers in each of the 11 famil ...

It can be shown mathematically that, if the reflection factor ...

Abstract:
... The apparent cause and location of the color in blue cotton has been studied. The color which appeared to be located in the lumen was not particularly resistant to conventional scour ing and bleaching agents. The controlling factor in the bleaching of blue cotton appeared to be lack of access to the blue color in the lumen by the treating solution. No ready means of rapid access to the lumen of th ...
