Resistance to acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS)-inhibiting herbicides has
been reported in over 90 weedy species, including wild sunflower biotypes, since the
herbicides were developed in 1982. The AHAS gene family in s ...
Weeping alkaligrass (Puccinellia distans) and Nuttall’s alkaligrass (Puccinellia
nuttalliana) infest Kentucky bluegrass seed fields of eastern Oregon. Weeping
alkaligrass is an introduced species from Eurasia, whereas ...
Three studies were conducted to characterize and present early-seral
competition between Douglas-fir seedlings and the surrounding vegetation
communities during Pacific Northwest forest establishment. The first experim ...
Lepidium latifolium L. (perennial pepperweed, LEPLA) is an exotic invader
throughout western North America. At Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
(MNWR) in southeast Oregon, it has invaded about 10% of meadow habitats th ...
Mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph Septoria tritici) causes Septoria tritici blotch, a
globally important disease of winter wheat. Resistance and pathogenicity generally vary
quantitatively. The pathogen reproduces b ...
A causative factor in declining greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus)
populations is reduced annual recruitment due to poor habitat quality. Sage-grouse
population decline is concurrent with a decline in ...
Lack of growing season precipitation and the temperate climate in north central Oregon
pose challenges to growing spring wheat crops. Phosphate and sulfate fertilization can
improve early growth of spring wheat in this ...
Early in the establishment of Pacific Northwest conifer plantations, herbaceous
weeds often decrease seedling growth through competition for soil moisture during the
dry summer months. Critical period studies have repo ...
Changing trends within the mental health system treatment practices demand exploration of the cultural context of assessment and treatment of Black/African Americans. Culturally competent assessments include a realistic ...
This dissertation presents research that investigated the experiences and
perceptions of Christian therapists who work with conservative Christian women who
experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Despite the wide ...
Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant,
and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these
proteases play a variety of roles in the virus ...
A suspected glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) (OR) population was collected from a filbert (Corylus avellana L.) orchard near Portland, OR. Based on the dose-response experiments conducted in the ...
Several studies of herbaceous perennials have addressed the effects of
environmental factors during and after production, inherent cold hardiness, and
post-harvest handling procedures to enhance flowering and growth du ...
Hare barley (Hordeum murinum ssp. leporinum) is a cool season annual grass that invades pastures and range areas around the world. A documented weed management issue in several Oregon counties, hare barley may infest sev ...

Japanese knotweed is an invasive perennial shrub that dominates riparian
ecosystems. Effective management techniques are currently limited to repeated annual
herbicide applications and there is little science-based i ...
Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted in 1996 and 1997 to evaluate
the effects of integrating conservation tillage and cover cropping on broccoli production
as well as agroecological parameters.
A field expe ...
Italian ryegrass populations have been identified with evolved resistance to glyphosate in orchards with a history of glyphosate use. Two of these populations were selected to investigate the inheritance of glyphosate re ...
