Pathological and ecological aspects of decline and mortality of Chamaecyparis nootkatensis in southeast Alaska

Creator:: Hennon, Paul Edward
Abstract:: Alaska-cedar (Chamaecvparis nootkatensIs (D. Don) Spach) is a valuable tree that is suffering from a serious decline and mortality of unknown cause throughout southeast Alaska. Epidemiological and pathological studies were initiated to determine if a pathogen is the primary cause of this problem. By examining old aerial photographs and by...

Description of the plant communities and succession of the Oregon coast grasslands

Creator:: Ripley, James Douglas
Abstract:: In an effort to describe the plant communities and succession of the Oregon coastal grasslands, vegetation and environmental data were collected from 75 stands at 24 separate locations ranging from Cape Falcon in Tillamook County to Cape Ferrelo in Curry County. The vegetation data consisted of cover and frequency values...

Contracting nucleolar vacuoles in somatic tobacco cells growing in microcultures

Creator:: Johnson, John Morris
Abstract:: Contracting nucleolar vacuoles are a general and consistent feature of somatic tobacco cells growing in microcultures. Nucleolar vacuoles were studied in cells from callus tissues of two single-cell clones, H-196 and H-239, of hybrid tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum X N. glutinosa). Vacuoles periodically contracted either completely or incompletely, apparently releasing a...

Characterization, epidemiology, and ecology of a virus associated with black raspberry decline

Creator:: Halgren, Anne B.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to characterize an unknown agent associated with decline in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) in Oregon. A virus was found consistently associated with decline symptoms of black raspberries and was named Black raspberry decline associated virus (BRDaV). Double stranded RNA extraction from BRDaV-infected black raspberry...

The fruits and seeds of the Rancho La Brea Pleistocene deposits

Creator:: Templeton, Bonnie Carolyn
Abstract:: More than 4,000 specimens of fruits and seeds were extracted from the matrix removed from inside the skulls of sabre-tooth cats excavated from various pits in the Rancho La Brea deposits. Of this number, spproximately 1,445 specimens are involved in this study. Many comparisons with modern fruits and seeds made...

Physiological ecology and structure of benthic communities in a woodland stream

Creator:: Reese, Weldon Harold
Abstract:: This thesis reports a portion of a general ecological study of a stream under conditions of controlled flow and low levels of organic enrichment. It is concerned with the effects of experimental variations of light intensity and concentration of soluble organic enrichment imposed on seasonal variations of temperature and total...

Permineralized Mesozoic Moss Gametophytes and their Implications for Bryophyte Evolution

Creator:: Bippus, Alexander C.
Abstract:: Mosses (Phylum Bryophyta) are widely considered to be among the most ancient groups of land plants (embryophytes) and they are the second most speciose embryophyte phylum with ~13,000 extant species. Despite their diversity and antiquity, mosses have a limited fossil record, which primarily consists of gametophytes entombed in Cenozoic amber....

Integration of Evolutionary Theory and Genomics to Understand Processes Involved in Host Adaptation and Divergence in Phytophthora Plant Pathogens

Creator:: Tabima, Javier F.
Abstract:: Modern plant pathology benefits from integrating methods and concepts from evolutionary biology. For example, evolutionary concepts are used to identify and examine species boundaries of plant pathogens, recognize processes underlying pathogen biogeography, identify traits that characterize emerging species, and discover new molecular interactions that originate under processes of selection. In...

Symbiosis in the Pacific Ring of Fire : evolutionary-biology of Rhizopogon subgenus Villosuli as mutualists of Pseudotsuga

Creator:: Mujic, Alija Bajro
Abstract:: Rhizopogon is a large genus of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi that grows in association with host trees of the family Pinaceae. We have conducted a series of studies investigating the ecology and evolutionary biology of the EM symbiosis shared between R. subgenus Villosuli and trees of the genus Pseudotsuga. Two members...

A fistful of Astragalus : phenotypic and genotypic basis of the most taxon rich species in the North American flora

Creator:: Knaus, Brian J.
Abstract:: The study of the infra-specific ranks (i.e., subspecies and variety) can be considered the study of the process of speciation. Astragalus lentiginosus Douglas ex Hooker (Fabaceae) is the most taxon rich species in the U.S. flora currently including 40 taxonomic varieties. These varieties were described using traditional taxonomic methods primarily...
