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...

Ecological thresholds, climate extremes, and tree species' distributions across the Pacific coastal United States

Creator:: Lintz, Heather E.
Abstract:: Species' distributions across the landscape are perhaps the least understood yet most conspicuous features of life on earth. Ecologists have long studied species' distributions; yet, many questions remain about why species occur where they do. Such questions persist largely because species' distributions are complex systems with challenging properties like non-linearity,...

Foliar respiration in an old-growth coniferous forest

Creator:: Cooper, Clifton E.
Abstract:: Foliar respiration forms a large component of the carbon balance of any coniferous forest. We examine seasonal, interannual, spatial and interspecific variation of foliar maintenance respiration in a forest in Washington, USA, with measurements made quarterly for >4 years on 400-year old trees of Pseudotsuga menziesii, Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja...

Specificity of quantitatively expressed host resistance to Mycosphaerella graminicola

Creator:: Krenz, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: The specificity of quantitative host resistance to plant disease has long been a controversial issue. We examined interactions between wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Mycosphaerella graminicola, causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, to determine whether specific interactions occur between host and pathogen genotypes that could be involved in eroding quantitatively expressed...

Abstract:: Astragalus diaphanus is a rare plant endemic to the John Day River drainage of north-central Oregon. This species has several interesting features, including the dimorphism of its fruit and its geographical isolation from the two nearest taxonomically related species, which occur in Colorado. This study addressed the species' distribution and...

Conservation of Rorippa columbiae : an evaluation of reintroduction potential through the study of germination ecology, propagation methods, and habitat requirements

Creator:: Kentnesse, Laura E.
Abstract:: Rare plant reintroductions are a critical conservation tool for the augmentation of diminishing populations, or re-establishment of extirpated populations. Analysis of reintroduction failures suggests that a sophisticated understanding of species biology, ecology, and habitat is essential for producing self-sustaining rare plant populations. This study sought to generate that background knowledge...
