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...

Genetic variability in the eastern filbert blight pathosystem

Creator:: Osterbauer, Nancy K.
Abstract:: The heritability of resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala, in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) was evaluated in the progeny of seven cultivars crossed in 12 combinations. Progeny produced by crossing 'VR6-28' with three susceptible cultivars segregated 1:1 for complete resistance to eastern filbert blight. Histograms of disease...

Modification of phyllosphere environments to enhance establishment of Gliocladium roseum, an antagonist of Botrytis cinerea

Creator:: Bennett, Robert J. (Robert Joe), 1953-
Abstract:: Radial colony growth of three isolates of Gliocladium roseum and three isolates of Bottytis cinerea were measured on 1/4 strength potato dextrose agar amended with concentrations of NaHCO₃ ranging from 0-2% (w/v). Compared to the control, reductions in colony diameter of the B. cinerea isolates ranged from 60-79% and 73-89%...

Epiphytic yeasts isolated from apple leaves to control of gray and blue mold fruit rots of apple

Creator:: Falconi, Cesar E.
Abstract:: Eight phylloplane yeasts were isolated from backyard apple trees in Corvallis, OR. Yeast isolates were classified to genus or species level. All isolates were tested in vitro for antagonistic activity against the postharvest pathogens Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum. Of these isolates, Aureobasidium pullulans, Sporobolomyces roseus Rhodotorula sp., consistently reduced...

Evaluation of kasugamycin-use strategies designed to delay development of resistance in Erwinia amylovora

Creator:: Hubbard, Andrew Robert
Abstract:: The antibiotics, streptomycin sulfate and oxytetracycline, are used widely for fire blight suppression in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The efficacy of streptomycin, however, is compromised by widespread streptomycin-resistance in E. amylovora populations, and oxytetracycline is only partially effective. Consequently, for several years, the aminoglycoside antibiotic, kasugamycin...

Assessment of potato tuber blight caused by Phytophthora infestans

Creator:: Glass, Jenny Rebecca
Abstract:: Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is a devastating problem to potato production in many parts of the world. While the foliar phases of this disease are well characterized, tuber infection, leading to quality losses and disease perpetuation, is less well understood. Experiments were conducted during 1998 and 1999 in...

Effect of iron on biological control of fire blight by Pseudomonas fluorescens A506

Creator:: Temple, Todd N.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion has been the mechanism hypothesized to account for the biological control of fire blight disease of pear and apple by the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens A506 (A506). Recent laboratory assays demonstrated, however, that A506 produces an antibiotic that is toxic to the fire blight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, when cultured...

Abstract:: Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a necrotrophic fungus causal to the disease tan spot of wheat, whose contribution to crop loss has increased significantly during the last few decades. Pathogenicity by this fungus is attributed to the production of host-selective toxins ( HST), which are recognized by their host in a genotype-specific...
