Taxonomy of desert truffles : the genera Phaeangium and Tirmania

Creator:: Alsheikh, Abdulmagid M.
Abstract:: Mycorrhizal fungi are important in food production of arid lands. The desert truffles not only form a symbiotic association with range plants but also form fruiting bodies which are both prized as food and nutritious. The taxonomy and ecology of two genera of desert truffles are treated in this thesis....

Taxomony and mycorrhizal ecology of the desert truffles in the genus Terfezia

Creator:: Alsheikh, Abdulmagid M.
Abstract:: Mycorrhizal fungi in arid and semiarid rangelands have received little study in southwest Asia and north Africa, although they are important in food production and rangeland productivity. The desert truffles of the genera Terfezia and Tirmania form fruiting-bodies and mycorrhizae with rangeland plants. This thesis treats the taxonomy and the...

Port-Orford-cedar and Phytophthora lateralis : grafting and heritability of resistance in the host, and variation in the pathogen

Creator:: McWilliams, Michael G.
Abstract:: Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a forest tree native to a small area of Oregon and California. A root disease caused by Phytophthora lateralis causes widespread mortality of Port-Orford-cedar. This dissertation examines three important elements of the Port-Orford-cedar P. lateralis pathosystem related to breeding for disease resistance: use of resistant rootstocks...

Methylisothiocyanate as a wood fumigant : fungitoxicity to Poria carbonica in wood and gelatin encapsulation for use in wood products

Creator:: Zahora, Andrew Roy
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine both the influence of wood moisture content on the fungitoxicity of methylisothiocyanate (MIT) to the wood-decay fungus Poria carbonica, and the ability of gelatin to safely en-capsulate MIT for efficient treatment of wood products. The fungitoxicity of MIT was studied by determining the product of...

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...

Phytophthora species and riparian alder tree damage in western Oregon

Creator:: Sims, Laura L.
Abstract:: The genus Phytophthora contains some of the most destructive pathogens of forest trees, including the most destructive pathogen of alder in recent times, Phytophthora alni. Alder trees were reported to be suffering from canopy dieback in riparian ecosystems in western Oregon, which prompted a survey of alder health and monitoring...

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...

Functional groups, traits, and the performance of species in restoration

Creator:: Roberts, Rachael E. (Rachael Elaine)
Abstract:: In ecological restoration, species that are sown to increase the native plant diversity range in establishment ability. Some species readily establish, while others rarely do. This study set out to investigate some of the potential processes influencing species establishment, as well as the traits that are associated with the success...

Improving Best Management Practices for Potato Production in the Columbia Basin : An Evaluation of Essential Oils for Control of Verticillium Wilt and the Fate of Chloride in the System

Creator:: Light, Sarah Elizabeth
Abstract:: Although the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a global crop, few growing regions rival the high yields of the Columbia Basin of Eastern Oregon and Washington. Two research projects were conducted in Hermiston, OR to contribute to best management practices for the region. The first project evaluated the efficacy of...
