Relationship of Pratylenchus penetrans (Cobb, 1917) population density and yield of peppermint, Mentha piperita L.

Creator:: Pinkerton, John Nelson
Abstract:: A root-lesion nematode, Pratvlenchus penetrans, was determined to be a major component of peppermint stand decline in Western Oregon. Regression analysis showed that P. penetrans root densities in August were negatively correlated (P=0.01) with yield, while soil densities in August and root and soil densities in April were poorly correlated...

Lichen communities and caribou habitat in Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, USA

Creator:: Nelson, Peter R.
Abstract:: Lichens play many important roles in subarctic terrestrial ecosystems by fixing nitrogen, colonizing rock and gravel, stabilizing otherwise bare soil, adding significantly to vegetation biodiversity and serving as the primary food for caribou in the winter. In these chapters, I analyzed lichen community and ecological trait structure along environmental gradients,...

Potential of Trichoderma sp. for inhibition of Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on snap beans

Creator:: Nelson, Mark E.
Abstract:: Isolates of Trichoderma spp. collected from snap bean foliage were tested for inhibition of grey mold of snap beans caused by Botrytis cinerea. In a detached blossom-pod assay an isolate of Trichoderma hamatum reduced pod rot by 94% compared to the nontreated check. Control was comparable to that obtained with...

Identification and distribution of the mating-type locus and development of cleistothecia of Podosphaera macularis

Creator:: Wolfenbarger, Sierra N.
Abstract:: Podosphaera macularis, causal agent of hop powdery mildew, is known to produce cleistothecia (syn. chasmothecia) in eastern North America and Europe, but ascocarps are not reported from the Pacific Northwestern region of North America. Reasons for the apparent absence of cleistothecia in the Pacific Northwest are unknown. We established that...

Distribution and prediction of Swiss needle cast of Douglas-fir in coastal Oregon

Creator:: Rosso, Pablo H.
Abstract:: This study was directed to improve our understanding of the ecology of Swiss needle cast (SNC) of Douglas-fir, a disease that produces extensive damage to forests and plantation in the coastal region of Oregon and Washington. A disease prediction model for the coastal area of Oregon was built by establishing...

The Influence of Nitrogen Fertility on Hop Quality, Pest Management, and the Stability of Biological Control

Creator:: Iskra, Anne E.
Abstract:: A multi-year field study was conducted in Oregon and Washington to evaluate the influence of nitrogen fertilization rate and timing on cone quality, nitrate accumulation in cones, severity of powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera macularis), arthropod pests, and the stability of conservation biological control of the twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus...

Location of prune dwarf and prunus necrotic ringspot viruses in sweet cherry pollen and fruit

Creator:: Kelley, Randall David
Abstract:: The location of prune dwarf virus (PDV) and Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) in pollen and seed from infected and healthy sweet cherry trees pollinated with infected pollen was investigated. Virus-like particles were observed in the cytoplasm of pollen grains from PDV-infected cherry trees using transmission electron microscopy. No particles...

Addressing the relationship between Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli using phylogenetic analyses and host specificity assays

Creator:: Mitchell, Melanie N.
Abstract:: The two most economically important plant pathogens in the Pseudoperonospora (Peronosporaceae) genus are P. cubensis, causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew, and P. humuli, causal agent of hop downy mildew. These organisms have been shown to be very closely related phylogenetically and morphologically. In 2005, researchers in Korea proposed that...

Science Takes Flight: Detection of Black Leg on Turnip Gray Mold on Hemp

Creator:: Bates, Taylor A.
Abstract:: Disease detection through traditional techniques such as scouting fields on foot, molecular assays, or morphological identification of plant pathogens is time consuming and costly. Disease diagnosis in the field can be extremely subjective, and largely depends on the experience and knowledge of pathogen identification and disease quantification. This thesis provides...
