Compost teas and compost amended container media for plant disease control

Creator:: Scheuerell, Steven J.
Abstract:: The primary goal of this dissertation research was to assess the use of compost for the control of several foliar and soil borne diseases commercially important in the Pacific Northwest. The use of compost teas to control of gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) on geraniums, powdery mildew (Podosphearapannosa var. rosae), rust...

Reproductive isolation and interspecific hybridization in the threatened species, Sidalcea nelsoniana

Creator:: Gisler, Steven D.
Abstract:: In addition to its longstanding recognition as an influential evolutionary process, interspecific hybridization is increasingly regarded as a potential threat to the genetic integrity and survival of rare plant species, manifested through gamete wasting, increased pest and disease pressures, outbreeding depression, competitive exclusion, and genetic assimilation. Alternatively, hybridization has also...

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...

New perspectives on evolutionary relationships within Pinus (Pinaceae) and within subsection Ponderosae (subgenus Pinus)

Creator:: Willyard, Ann Nachreiner
Abstract:: A fossil-calibrated phylogenetic framework based on exemplars from each of the four taxonomic sections within Pinus was created using multiple nuclear and chloroplast loci. Calibration at the well-defined subgeneric split within Pinus with either fossil leaves and cones (ca. 45 million years ago) or fossil wood (ca. 85 million years...

Lichen Biomonitoring from Valley to Alpine in Central and Southern California

Creator:: Kovasi, Adrienne I.
Abstract:: In the mountains of central and southern California, high elevation wilderness areas lack epiphytic lichens that can be used to inform us about atmospheric deposition in multiple ways. Epiphytic lichens are capable of accumulating elements proportionally to the local atmospheric concentration, establishing them as commonly used biomonitor of key elements....

Interactions between nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum in forest soils and cyanobacterial lichen in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marks, Jade A.
Abstract:: Molybdenum is an essential component of biogeochemical cycling, most notably as a component of the nitrogenase enzyme used in biological nitrogen (N) fixation. While the important role of phosphorus (P) in limiting N fixation in ecosystems has been well documented, occurrence and prevalence of molybdenum (Mo) limitation is largely unknown....

Yosemite region nitrogen deposition and patterns in the composition of lichen communities

Creator:: Hutten, Martin
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition along a nitrogen deposition gradient in the Yosemite region of the Sierra Nevada in California. This region is part of the largest federal air quality Class 1 designated air-shed in the western United States, covering the entire crest of the Sierra...

A G-type Lectin Receptor-like Kinase Associated with Septoria Canker Resistance and Susceptibility Described using Multi-omics and Biotechnology

Creator:: Lenz, Ryan R.
Abstract:: Managers of forest and plantation ecosystems are encountering growing problems involving plant pathogens and the expanding geographic ranges of these pathogens. Historically unexposed stands are exceptionally vulnerable when a non-native pathogen is introduced because these pathogens can cause devastating disease in a host population that lacks co-evolved resistance mechanisms. One...

Yield responses of invasive grasses to carbon doses

Creator:: Brunson, Jessi L.
Abstract:: The sagebrush steppe ecosystem of the northern Great Basin is severely degraded and continues to decline due in large part to the invasive, non-native annual grasses Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass) and Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski (medusahead). Restoration of invasive-dominated areas is difficult, but can be enhanced by adding a carbon...

Seeing Genes: Multiscale Phenotyping Reveals Gene Functions in Maize Pollen

Creator:: Warman, Cedar D.
Abstract:: Plant sexual reproduction requires a broad array of molecular mechanisms to proceed successfully. Some of these mechanisms are well-studied, but our knowledge of them as a whole is fundamentally incomplete. Pollen tube growth is a key part of this process, facilitating the delivery of the sperm cells to the female...
