Nobuo Kobayashi; Sachiho Yamashita; Katsumi Ohta; et al. Journal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science 2008. doi:10.2503/jjshs1.77.186

Other claims from this paper (12)

Intervention effect Colchicine treatment of Salvia seeds had little effect on germination.
Intervention effect Colchicine treatment of seeds adversely affected true leaf development and seedling survival in Salvia.
Intervention effect In S. coccinea Coral Nymph, 500 ppm colchicine reduced true leaf development by 50%.
Intervention effect In Lady in Red Salvia, 250 ppm colchicine reduced true leaf development by 50%.
Intervention effect In S. patens Blue Angel, 750 ppm colchicine reduced true leaf development by 50%.
Observation Of 50 treated S. coccinea Coral Nymph seeds, 12 seedlings survived 500 ppm colchicine.
Observation Five surviving S. coccinea Coral Nymph seedlings were confirmed tetraploid, two of them presumed chimeric.
Observation Tetraploid Salvia plants had larger, thicker leaves than diploid plants.
Observation Most tetraploid Salvia plants produced viable pollen.
Observation Self-pollinated seeds were obtained from four tetraploid Salvia individuals.
Observation Of 18 second-generation Salvia seedlings, all were confirmed tetraploid.
Observation Flower and leaf morphology of second-generation tetraploid seedlings was identical to that of the tetraploid parents, indicating inheritance of these traits.

The Use of Agricultural Cover Crops in Southeastern Waterfowl Management

Lawrence S. Givens; Thomas Z. Atkeson Journal of Wildlife Management 1955. doi:10.2307/3797472

Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation Cover crops can supply goose grazing and limited duck grazing.
Observation Small grains used as cover crops protect soil, add humus, and provide goose forage.
Observation Crimson clover, Austrian peas, and button clover receive heavy goose use.
Observation Reseeding crimson clover offered no advantage over the common annual type.
Observation Button clover receives less waterfowl use and makes little winter growth.
Observation Vetches and Caley peas are insufficiently used by geese for forage planting.
Observation Blue lupine has no waterfowl food value.
Recommendation The authors recommend planting small grain or ryegrass near the middle of the recommended period.
Recommendation The authors recommend planting legumes as early as practicable to support goose use.
Recommendation The authors recommend inoculation and heavy fertilization for legume growth.

Observation New habitats were found for Tulipa gesneriana L.
Observation New habitats were found for Astrodaucus littoralis.
Observation New habitats were found for Stipa ucrainica.
