  • Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This Is a Consolidated List Of
    RWKiger 26 Jul 18 Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 24 and 25. In citations of articles, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix "a"; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with "b". Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes. Aares, E., M. Nurminiemi, and C. Brochmann. 2000.

Melnychenko and Todd N. Rosenstiel Department of Biology, Portland State University 1719 SW 10th Ave, Portland, OR 97201 USA ABSTRACT Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from plant leaves play significant roles in biological and atmospheric processes. BVOCs emissions can involve a diverse number of compounds and are an important method of plant signaling. However, some emissions of volatile compounds can negatively impact air quality at a regional scale. In order to better understand the role of BVOCs in plant physiology and chemical ecology, and to better predict how these emissions may alter air quality, the underlying relationships between these diverse compounds must be addressed.

This study evaluated the multiplication index of G. angustifolia in a temporary immersion system (RITA®), comparing results with those obtained using a semi-solid culture medium. The treatments consisted of either three or four 2- min immersions per day and use of semi-solid culture medium, which consisted of MS supplemented with 3.0 mg L-1 of the cytokinin benzylaminopurine (BAP). Equipment consisted of 20 vessels for automated RITA®, each containing 200 ml of culture medium. Immersions were performed for 2 min at two different frequency intervals (6 and 8 h).
