  • On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

    Creator:
    Stoller, Kevin R.
    Abstract:
    William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...

  • Sensory Analysis and Genetic Mapping of Green Bean Flavor

    Creator:
    Wallace, Lyle T.
    Abstract:
    Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon. Research by Stevens and colleagues showed that Blue Lake flavor could be reconstituted in a bland bean by adding 0.4ppm of 1-octen-3-ol and 1.6ppm of 3-hexen-1-ol. These two volatile...

  • Killing the Father and the Father Lives On: The Literary Influence of Richard Wright on James Baldwin

    Creator:
    Stoneberg, Michael R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses the African American authors Richard Wright and James Baldwin, and their views regarding how literature should be written. These views are examined as laid out in a selection of each author‟s essays, as well as through an analysis of the characters Bigger Thomas and Rufus Scott in...

  • The Cosmetic Stay-Green Trait in Snap Bean and the Event Cascade that Reduces Seed Germination and Emergence

    Creator:
    Cirak, Melike
    Abstract:
    The persistent color (pc) trait in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) belongs to a member of the cosmetic stay-green gene family. It is considered very desirable by snap bean breeders for its impacts on pod quality. Persistent color imparts a uniform dark-green color to pods and expresses in seeds as...

  • Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Genomic Shifts under Different Agricultural Management Systems

    Creator:
    King, Ryan M.
    Abstract:
    Although the concept of breeding crops for organic agricultural systems has been around for decades, few studies have been reported for vegetable crops to quantify and compare how conventional and organic systems differ in their selection pressures on genotypes advancing through the breeding cycle; especially research utilizing modern sequencing capabilities....

  • Breeding tomato for increased fruit phenolics

    Creator:
    Boches, Peter S.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research was to develop tools and germplasm for the production of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) with high fruit phenolics without the use of genetic engineering. A candidate gene analysis was undertaken to identify genes regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in tomato fruit (Aft, Abg, atv, and Purple Smudge)....

  • Investigating the Genetic Control of Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Snap Beans

    Creator:
    Huster, Abigail R.
    Abstract:
    Root rot diseases are a major constraint to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production around the world. Both snap beans and dry beans are affected. Root rot diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens; however, Fusarium solani is a common causal agent. Fusarium root rot is a primary yield...

  • Breeding an open pollinated broccoli for organic production systems using participatory methods

    Creator:
    McKenzie, Laurie R.
    Abstract:
    Organic agriculture is an important and growing sector of U.S. and world food production. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in the production practices and impacts associated with agriculture and as such, are showing a preference for sustainably produced, raised, and harvested foods. In order to continue to meet...

  • Genetic resistance to white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary) in scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus L.)

    Creator:
    Gilmore, Barbara S.
    Abstract:
    White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary, is a destructive yield-limiting disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Genetic resistance to this pathogen is limited in common bean. Identification of high levels of partial physiological resistance in a genetically cross compatible species, Phaseolus coccineus, is advisable. The objectives...

  • Variation of phenolics in anthocyanin- and nonanthocyanin- fruit tomatoes

    Creator:
    Dalotto, Todd F.
    Abstract:
    Phenolic compounds are known to have biological activity with beneficial effects on human health. Fruit of cultivated tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are a major source of phenolics in the U.S. diet because this crop is the second most consumed vegetable per capita, but actual levels are low compared to other...
