Characterizing novel bacterial isolates that inhibit the growth of gall-forming phytopathogenic bacteria

Creator:

Belcher, Michael S.

Abstract:

Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Rhodococcus fascians are plant pathogenic bacteria that can induce crown and leafy galls on plants, respectively. Infection by these bacteria results in disfigured, unsellable plants, leading to significant economic losses to the nursery industry. A. tumefaciens and R. fascians are capable of infecting a broad range of...

Freeze tolerance: comparing two geographically isolated populations of the cinnabar moth

Creator:

Lieberenz, Tim, Mattsson, Monte, Bürgi, Linda, and McEvoy, Peter

Abstract:

Freezing to death in winter is a danger faced by ectothermic organisms throughout temperate climates. One adaptation of lepidopteran insects for overwinter survival is the sequestration of antifreeze solutes in the hemolymph prior to pupal diapause. This acts to depress freezing points during the long and immobile pupal stage during...

Soil solarization at an organic farm: effects on weed emergence, soil nutrients and soil microbial communities

Creator:

Trammell, Caleb, Eberhart, Joyce, and Parke, Jennifer L.

Abstract:

Weed management is one of the main challenges for organic agriculture. Soil solarization has been shown to be an effective mitigation strategy for weeds and soil borne plant pathogens but few studies have been conducted in cooler climates such as the Pacific Northwest.
