The Classification of the Common Orders of Plants Found Around Corvallis

Creator:: King, Bertha Anna and Starr, Grace E.
Abstract:: In collecting our representative flowering plants, we have endeavored to secure a specimen of each common genus of annuals and biennials as well as a few shrubs. The notes, drawings, and classification of fifty of these plants constitute the main part of our thesis. Following are the classifications of various...

Moulds in the Home, Economically Considered

Creator:: Pogue, Bessie Evalena
Abstract:: "Moulds are minute vegetable organisms, without chlorophyll, threadlike in structure, and reproduced by spores. The general appearance is a dense felt-like mass of white threads, at first soft and fluffy, and when fruiting are covered with blue, green, yellow, black or brown spores. The threads are very small, some just...

Identifying genes that influence the ability of Rhodococcus to benefit plants

Creator:: Lederhos, Heidi
Abstract:: Symbioses are intimate interactions between two different organisms. In a pathogenic interaction, one organism benefits and the other is generally harmed; whereas in a mutualistic interaction, the members reciprocally benefit. Rhodococcus is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria that persist in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although better known...

Host plant dependent disease progression of the microsporidian parasite Nosema tyriae on Cinnabar moth larvae

Creator:: Berns, Kathryn, Buergi, Linda, and McEvoy, Peter
Abstract:: Tyria jacobaeae was introduced as a biological control agent to control the noxious weed Jacobea vulgaris. Eventually introduced to the Cascade mountain range of Oregon, T. jacobaeae has been found to feed on Senecio triangularis, a native plant closely related to J. vulgaris. Nosema tyriae is a parasitic fungus under...

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...

Male gametophyte specific expression helps identify a conserved gene associated with increased pollen fitness

Creator:: Colebrook, Sean Jr., Unger-Wallace, Erica, and Vollbrecht, Erik
Abstract:: GRMZM2G372877 was identified as a gene with potential function in the male gametophyte based on its strong expression in mature pollen relative to other maize tissues (Chettoor et al. 2014). Identification of a Ds insertion mutation in this gene from the Brutnell/Vollbrecht collection provided further support for this hypothesis, as...

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...

Small secreted proteins of pyrenophora tritici-repentis and their role in wheat Infection

Creator:: Hernandez, Jason, Manning, Viola, Pandelova, Iovanna, and Ciuffetti, Lynda M.
Abstract:: Host-selective toxins (HSTs) secreted by the pathogenic isolate of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, BFP, are major pathogenicity factors in tan spot disease of wheat. Along with characterized HSTs such as Ptr ToxA (ToxA), BFP secretes at least two more uncharacterized toxic components. In an attempt to identify these additional components, 12 candidate...

Development of a new molecular diagnostics tool for Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Creator:: Fuller, Skylar, Savory, Elizabeth, Weisberg, Alex, and Chang, Jeff
Abstract:: Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes the economically important plant disease, crown gall. These galls are the result of abnormal growth that manifests itself on either the root or the stem and can be devastating for the ornamental plant industry. Introduction of A. tumefaciens to a nursery can be highly detrimental and thus...

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.
