Physical factors affecting longevity and germination of seed of Western dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f. campylopodum)

Creator:: Beckman, Kent Mardsen
Abstract:: Longevity and germination of seed of western dwarfmistletoe (Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f. campylopodum) of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) was investigated to determine: 1) the influence of humidity and temperature on seed viability and deterioration during storage; 2) the physiology of seed dormancy; 3) the composition of seed reserve food...

The Primary Disease Gradient of Wheat Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Farber, Daniel
Abstract:: Wheat stripe rust (WSR), also called yellow rust of wheat (Tricitum spp.), causal agent Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a foliar disease of major economic importance on wheat, especially grown in temperate locations. WSR causes major losses of wheat yield, estimated at nearly $ 1 billion per year, and...

The role of ethylene in ectomycorrhiza formation and Fusarium infection of Douglas fir roots

Creator:: Graham, James Herbert
Abstract:: The ectomycorrhizal fungi Cenococcum geophilum, Hebeloma crustuliniforme and Laccaria laccata produced ethylene in vitro in modified Melin-Norkrans liquid medium only if amended with 2.5 to 10 mM methionine; Pisolithus tinctorius failed to produce ethylene unless the cultures were renewed with fresh methionine-amended medium prior to ethylene assay. An additional 19...

Physiological relationships between dwarf mistletoe and ponderosa pine

Creator:: McDowell, Larry Leon
Abstract:: A comparative study was made of Pinus ponderosa Laws, and Arceuthobium campylopodum Engelm. f . campylopodum to determine (1) whether or not the parasite or parasitized tissues accumulate abnormal concentrations of minerals, (2) whether or not there was evidence of a blockage of mineral translocation in the phloem because of...

New Tools for Managing Erysiphe necator: Rapid Sampling Approaches and an Exploration of Grower Opinions and Perspectives towards Collective Action and Information Transfer

Creator:: Lowder, Sarah R.
Abstract:: The scale of pest and disease dispersal is often larger than the scale of individual farms. Therefore, an individual grower’s response to pests and diseases can affect and is affected by their surrounding growing region. Individual growers are also not isolated, and engage in various forms of information gathering, sharing,...

The source area for coarse woody debris in small streams in western Oregon and Washington

Creator:: McDade, Mary Helen
Abstract:: Large organic debris has important biological and physical roles within the stream ecosystem. In order to determine the source area of large organic debris in streams, thirty-nine streams in the Cascade and Coast Ranges of Oregon and Washington were sampled. The distance from point-of-origin to channel was measured for thirty...

Factors influencing the production and survival of inoculum of Elytroderma deformans

Creator:: Laird, Peter Paul
Abstract:: This study concerns factors affecting production and survival of ascospores of Elytroderma deformans (Weir) Darker, a needle cast of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.). The results show that summer cooling and a reduction in host vigor delays and diminishes the number of fertile hysterothecia produced. Evidence is offered for classification...

Dry coniferous forests in the Western Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Means, Joseph E.
Abstract:: Pseudotsuga menziesii dominates the forests of the Pacific Northwest. But though it is dominat, Tsuaa heteroohylla or Abies amabilis is usually climax. Many researchers have studied Pseudotsuga on the widespread mesic sites where it is seral, but few have examined the relatively rare ecosystems in which Pseudotsuga or its associate...

Genomic Resources for Phylogenetics, Species Delimitation, and Geographic Localization of Neotropical Tree Species Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae)

Creator:: Finch, Kristen N.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...

Salt marsh reestablishment following dike breaching in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Mitchell, Diane Lynne
Abstract:: A 22 ha, 1S yeas old, diked permanent pasture in the Salmon River estuary in Lincoln County, Oregon, was chosen for a study to determine the potential for natural salt marsh restoration with dike breaching. Two undiked fragments of relatively undisturbed salt marsh, one at each end of the study...
