The effects of nitrogen manipulations and hydrology on the establishment and competitive abilities of wetland prairie plant species (western Oregon)

Creator:: Davis, Kimberly J.
Abstract:: Many studies suggest that weedy plant species are most successful when soil nitrogen in abundant. Consequently, I used soil nitrogen manipulations to determine if altering nitrogen would affect the establishment of both weedy and native plant species in a western Oregon wetland prairie. In two studies, we added carbon amendments...

Post-dispersal seed fates in a Western Oregon native prairie

Creator:: Clark, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Knowledge of post-dispersal seed fates and other regeneration characteristics is crucial for predicting abundances and distributions of populations and, ultimately, community species composition and diversity. Seed fate studies, however, are rare primarily due to the difficulty of determining seed fates and causes of mortality. This thesis investigated post-dispersal seed fates...

Phylogenetics and genomic patterns of speciation in Pinus with an empahsis on subgenus Strobus

Creator:: Syring, John V.
Abstract:: Data from nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (nrITS) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) have failed to resolve phylogenetic relationships in Pinus. To provide greater interspecific resolution, five low-copy nuclear genes were developed from mapped conifer anchor loci. Four genes were sequenced from species representing all Pinus subsections. Individual loci do...

Phylogenetic marker development for target enrichment from transcriptome and genome skim data: the pipeline and its application in southern African Oxalis (Oxalidaceae)

Creator:: Schmickl, Roswitha, Liston, Aaron, Zeisek, Vojtěch, Oberlander, Kenneth, Weitemier, Kevin, Straub, Shannon C. K., Cronn, Richard C., Dreyer, Léanne L., and Suda, Jan
Abstract:: Phylogenetics benefits from using a large number of putatively independent nuclear loci and their combination with other sources of information, such as the plastid and mitochondrial genomes. To facilitate the selection of orthologous low‐copy nuclear (LCN) loci for phylogenetics in nonmodel organisms, we created an automated and interactive script to...

Conservation genetics of Kincaid's lupine : a threatened plant of western Oregon and southwest Washington grasslands

Creator:: Severns, Paul M.
Abstract:: Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction suggested that populations may suffer reductions...

Conservation of Sidalcea nelsoniana through habitat management : effects of burning, mowing, and altered flooding regime on a rare Willamette Valley perennial

Creator:: Bartels, Marilynn R.
Abstract:: Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...

Generation of full-length cDNA clone and functional analysis of leader proteases of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2

Creator:: Liu, Yu-Ping
Abstract:: Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant, and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these proteases play a variety of roles in the virus life cycle. In particular, the leader protease (L-Pro) of a prototype member of the Closterovirus genus, Beet yellows...
