Barley

• North America Barley Genome Mapping. The NABGMP is a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary project that applies the latest genetic technology to barley improvement.
  
  
• Oregon Barley Project. Annual reports and updates.
  
  
• Oregon Wolfe Barley Project. The Oregon Wolfe Barleys (OWB) are a tool for integrating genetics, agriculture, and the Internet.
  
  
• Red Cebada Latina (RECLA)

Cereals

• Cereal Genetics and Biotechnology. 

Forages

• Forage Information System. FIS WWW is a global forage information resource on the World Wide Web (WWW), and is envisioned to become a comprehensive information system for all aspects of forages. FIS WWW is a collection of Internet-based forage information.

Grains

• Oregon Grain and Seed Crops Multimedia Resource. This web page contains seed pictures of crops commonly grown in the state of Oregon. It’s main purpose is to aid users in learning the distinguishing features of these crop seeds for identification contests held in various youth and young adult programs (4H, Future Farmer of America, etc.), but it also is a general guide to Orgeon field crops.

Hops

• Hop Genetics. The web home of the USDA-ARS Hop Genetic Research Program. This site describes the ongoing research on hops Humulus lupulus L.

Potatoes

• Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center. Potato Research and Extension
  
  
• Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center. Potato research projects for 1996

Oilseeds

Oil Seed Crops Genetics and Breeding. The major projects in our laboratory are the breeding and genetics of new oilseed crops, the study of genes underlying the synthesis of seed storage lipids, and the development of methods and software for mapping genetic markers and quantitative trait loci. The main foci of our project are:

• Sunflower (Helianthus annus)
• Meadow foam (Limnanthes alba)
• Flax (Linum usitatissimum)
• Cuphea

Seeds

Integrative Seed Biology is our seed biology program in the Department of Crop and Soil Science at Oregon State University. The program consists of research and learning activities on plant seeds. This website introduces you our research projects and useful information on seeds.

 

Weeds

• Dryland Weeds Research. The Columbia Basin Agriculture Research Center is involved in developing Integrated Weed Management Systems for Eastern Oregon Dryland Crops.
  
  
• Herbicide Company "Genealogy"
  
  
• Weed Program

Wheat

Wheat Breeding, Genetics & Quality Program.  The history of wheat is the history of our civilization.  Prior to the domestication of wheat and other cereal grains some 10,000 years ago, people were hunters and food gatherers living a nomadic existence.  When it was discovered that certain plants produced edible seed that could be replanted to achieve a more stable food supply, a civilization and a culture emerged.  With fewer people required to provide food, others were free to devote their energies to developing the arts and sciences.
