Plastome phylogenomics in the genus Pinus using massively parallel sequencing technology

Creator:

Parks, Matthew Benjamin

Abstract:

This thesis summarizes work completed over the previous four years primarily focusing on chloroplast phylogenomic inquiry into the genus Pinus and related Pinaceae outgroups using next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. During the time of our work, Illumina sequence read lengths have essentially been limited to 25 to 100 base pairs,...

Cryptogam communities in forest and steppe ecosystems of Oregon, USA

Creator:

Root, Heather T.

Abstract:

I focus on addressing knowledge gaps relating to management of cryptogams in Oregon's public lands in Pseudotsuga menziesii-Tsuga heterophylla forests on the west side of the Cascade Range and dryland steppe in the Cascade Range's rainshadow. While a great deal of research has illustrated the importance of late-successional forests for...

Phylogeography and Evolution of Effector Genes in Phytophthora Species

Creator:

Shakya, Shankar K.

Abstract:

Plant pathogens in the genus Phytophthora are known to cause disease on field crops, nursery plants, and forest trees. The best known example probably is Phytophthora infestans, which triggered the infamous Irish potato famine. Other important Phytophthora species include: P. ramorum (sudden oak death pathogen), P. sojae (soybean root rot...
