Development and Application of Tools for Genetic Analysis of Clonal Populations

Creator:: Kamvar, Zhian N.
Abstract:: Research on the population genetics of microbial organisms requires the use of specialized analyses designed for clonal organisms to avoid violating the assumptions of traditional population genetic models. The tools necessary for performing these analyses existed as a set of unrelated software with non-overlapping capabilities and did not cover all...

Potential of Trichoderma sp. for inhibition of Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on snap beans

Creator:: Nelson, Mark E.
Abstract:: Isolates of Trichoderma spp. collected from snap bean foliage were tested for inhibition of grey mold of snap beans caused by Botrytis cinerea. In a detached blossom-pod assay an isolate of Trichoderma hamatum reduced pod rot by 94% compared to the nontreated check. Control was comparable to that obtained with...

Identification of Viruses Associated with Raspberry Leaf Curl Disease

Creator:: Guzman Martinez, Melinda
Abstract:: Raspberries are an important commodity worldwide, with the United States (U.S.) leading fourth in global production in 2017. An important factor when shipping propagated Rubus across the globe is the security of clean plant material verified through pathogen detection methods which is vital in preventing disease spread. A raspberry virus...

The influence of pollinators on the maintenance of mixed mating in a population of the blue columbine, Aquilegia coerulea (Ranunculaceae)

Creator:: Sweet, Heather R.
Abstract:: Pollination ecology may play an important role in the maintenance of selfing in populations of self-compatible hermaphroditic plants where both selfing and outcrossing occur (mixed mating). Behavior and abundance of pollinators can influence the two major modes of selfing; autogamy (selfing within a flower) and geitonogamy (selfing between flowers on...

Growth and reproductive ecology of Larix laricina in interior Alaska

Creator:: Brown, Kevin R.
Abstract:: Larix laricina in Alaska occurs on sites ranging from productive slopes and riverbottoms to wet bogs underlain by permafrost. It is largest on sites without permafrost, where it is associated with Picea glauca, but is much more common in bogs, where it occurs with Picea mariana. In this study, I...

Cytotaxonomic studies in the Artemisia ludoviciana polyploid complex of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Estes, James R.
Abstract:: The Artemisia ludoviciana polyploid complex is a highly polymorphic assembledge of eight taxa in the Pacific Northwest, with a chromosome base number of x=9. A cytogenetic analysis of this complex was carried out to determine the sources of its variation, the types of polyploidy present, and the genetic processes active...

Taxonomy of Phacelia section Miltitzia (hydrophyllaceae)

Creator:: Halse, Richard R.
Abstract:: A systematic study was made of the species comprising Phacelia section Miltitzia. These species, which are commonly found in the Great Basin physiographic province of western North America, are distinguished from other members of Phacelia by their yellow, marcescent corollas and their transversely corrugated seeds. This project utilized morphological, cytological,...

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...

A systematic and ecological study of Astragalus diaphanus (Fabaceae)

Creator:: Wright, Carolyn E.
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...
