Genomic Resources for Phylogenetics, Species Delimitation, and Geographic Localization of Neotropical Tree Species Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae)

Creator:: Finch, Kristen N.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...

Hybridization between Castilleja levisecta and C. hispida : Implications for Pacific Northwest Prairie Management

Creator:: Sandlin, Isaac J., III
Abstract:: Conservation conflicts may develop on restoration sites with multiple species recovery objectives. For example, on Pacific Northwest prairies, the co-planting of the diploid cytotype of the common native wildflower Castilleja hispida with the endangered wildflower C. levisecta has resulted in putative Castilleja hybrids on restoration sites, prompting fears that genetic...

Distinct Argonaute-mediated 22G-RNA pathways direct genome surveillance in the C. elegans germline

Creator:: Gu, Weifeng, Shirayama, Masaki, Conte Jr., Darryl, Vasale, Jessica, Batista, Pedro J., Claycomb, Julie M., Moresco, James J., Youngman, Elaine, Keys, Jennifer, Stoltz, Matthew J., Chen, Chun-Cheih G., Chaves, Daniel A., Duan, Shenghua E., Kasschau, Krisitin D., Fahlgren, Noah, Yates III, John R., Mitani, Shohei, Carrington, James C., and Mello, Craig C.
Abstract:: Endogenous small RNAs (endo-siRNAs) interact with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to mediate sequence-specific regulation of diverse biological processes. Here, we combine deep-sequencing and genetic approaches to explore the biogenesis and function of endo-siRNAs in C. elegans. We describe conditional alleles of the dicer-related helicase, drh-3, that abrogate both RNA interference and...

An experimental reintroduction of Pleuropogon oregonus, a rare wetland grass native to Oregon

Creator:: Groberg, Matthew G.
Abstract:: Pleuropogon oregonus Chase is a rare wetland grass endemic to eastern Oregon. The species is composed of two widely separated populations, one in Lake County and one in Union County. In order to reduce the risk of extinction, the Oregon Department of Agriculture Native Plant Conservation Program initiated several reintroduction...

High-Throughput Sequencing of Arabidopsis microRNAs : Evidence for Frequent Birth and Death of MIRNA Genes

Creator:: Fahlgren, Noah, Howell, Miya D., Kasschau, Kristin D., Sullivan, Christopher M., Cumbie, Jason S., Givan, Scott A., Law, Theresa F., Grant, Sarah R., Dangl, Jeffrey L., and Carrington, James C.
Abstract:: In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) comprise one of two classes of small RNAs that function primarily as negative regulators at the posttranscriptional level. Several MIRNA genes in the plant kingdom are ancient, with conservation extending between angiosperms and the mosses, whereas many others are more recently evolved. Here, we use deep...

Role of GacSA Two-component System and Bacterial Surface Attachment in Pseudomonas syringae Virulence

Creator:: O'Malley, Megan R.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas syringae are plant pathogenic bacteria that cause disease by rapidly multiplying within the aboveground tissues of host plants. Growth of P. syringae within plant host tissues requires the disarmament of host immune defenses that limit microbial growth. To combat host defenses, P. syringae deploys a type III secretion system...

Seed and seedling ecology of Artemisia tridentata in a restoration context

Creator:: Wijayratne, Upekala C.
Abstract:: The semi-arid sagebrush steppe ecosystem is one of the largest biomes in North America. The steppe provides critical habitat and forage for wildlife and is economically important to recreation and livestock industries. However, the ecosystem is threatened primarily due to several negative effects associated with expansion of the exotic annual...

Inferring Patterns and Processes of Emergence in Clonal Phytophthora Epidemics using Population Genomic Approaches

Creator:: Cauldron, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Oomycete and fungal pathogens threaten food, fiber, and forests around the world. With climate change, these pathogens are expected to emerge more frequently. Evolution can facilitate their emergence through mechanisms such as mutations that change or expand host range. Characterizing evolutionary mechanisms in plant pathogens will contribute to our ability...

Hop cone tip blight : a new disease in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Bienapfl, John C.
Abstract:: A necrosis at the tip of cones was observed on hop (Humulus lupulus), cultivar "Nugget", grown in Oregon in the early 1990's. Fusarium sambucinum and F. avenaceum were recovered from symptomatic cones in 1998 and preliminary inoculation experiments suggested both Fusarium species could cause hop cone necrosis. Studies were carried...

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....
