The effects of univalent cations on the inductive formation of nitrate reductase

Creator:: Nitsos, Ronald Eugene
Abstract:: An investigation was undertaken to determine whether potassium is indeed necessary for the in vivo synthesis of a specific protein. The effects of univalent cations on the inductive formation of nitrate reductase and on the level of activity of representative non-adaptive enzyme are presented. Cultures of Neurospora crassa were grown...

The effects of cadmium on the nitrogen fixation system in Alnus rubra

Creator:: Wickliff, Carlos
Abstract:: Alnus rubra (Bong. ) seedlings were grown in sand culture and irrigated with nutrient solution containing CdCl₂ ranging from 5 μg to 100 mg per liter. Treatment of A. rubra seedlings for 4 weeks with 50 and 100 mg CdCl₂ per liter of nitrogen-free nutrient solution decreased in situ nitrogenase...

Ozone flux in Helianthus annuus (L.)

Creator:: Smith, Elaine D.
Abstract:: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., cv. NK894) seedlings, grown hydroponically, were exposed to ozone concentrations of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 ppm at 60% RH, or 0.0 and 0.3 ppm at 30% and 90% RH, for 6 h/d, for four consecutive days, at ages 15 to 18 days from seeding. Plant...

Propagule sources, disturbance characteristics and the inital establishment of riparian vegetation after debris flows

Creator:: Gecy, Jeanne Leslie
Abstract:: Debris flows are a major cause of disturbance to riparian vegetation. Both observational and experimental studies were used to examine the initial recovery of riparian vegetation after debris flows on headwater streams in the western Cascades of Oregon. My goal was to determine the roles of seedlings and vegetative sprouts,...

Effects of fire on seedling establishment in upland prairies in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Maret, Mary P.
Abstract:: Prior to European settlement, native prairie dominated the landscape of the Willamette Valley. Today, due to urbanization, agriculture, and the cessation of burning, only isolated remnants of these grasslands still exist. In response to conservation concerns, there has been a move to restore the remaining prairies in the Willamette Valley,...

Effects of Preinoculation with VAM fungi isolated from different sites on plant tolerance to salinity in soils amended with sodium chloride

Creator:: Cantrell, Isabella Cardona
Abstract:: The hypothesis that inoculation of transplants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi before planting into saline soils would alleviate salt effects on growth and productivity was tested on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). A secondary hypothesis was that the fungi isolated from a saline soil would be...

Population viability analysis of endangered plant species : an evaluation of stochastic methods and an application to a rare prairie plant

Creator:: Kaye, Thomas N.
Abstract:: Transition matrix models are one of the most widely used tools for assessing population viability. The technique allows inclusion of environmental variability, thereby permitting estimation of probabilistic events, such as extinction. However, few studies use the technique to compare the effects of management treatments on population viability, and fewer still...

Epiphytic macrolichens in relation to forest management and topography in a western Oregon watershed

Creator:: Berryman, Shanti D.
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition, diversity, and biomass across various stand types in the Blue River watershed of western Oregon. It first examines the relative importance of ecological factors such as stand age, remnant tree retention, and topography to lichen communities in the landscape. It then...

Relationships of exotic species and wildfire to the threatened plant Silene spaldingii

Creator:: Menke, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: In the canyon grasslands of Garden Creek Ranch Preserve in Idaho, where the threatened plant Silene spaldingii occurs and invasion by the exotic species Centaurea solstitialis and Bromus tectorum is proceeding rapidly, I examined environmental and community patterns of site invasion, and evaluated the apparent influence of invasion on Silene...

Sweet corn decline syndrome in Oregon's Willamette Valley

Creator:: Hoinacki, Elisabeth V.
Abstract:: For the past several years vegetable growers in Oregon's Willamette Valley have experienced reduced yields in their sweet corn plantings. We conducted studies to 1) describe the symptomology and etiology of the disease, 2) test a root rot rating system we developed to evaluate factors in the disease syndrome, and...
