Diseases of Rhododendron and Boxwood: Survey and Virulence of Phytophthora Root Rot and Management of Boxwood Blight with Systemic Fungicides

Creator:: Sacher, Gabriel
Abstract:: Diseases can be a substantial threat to woody plant production, a major industry in Oregon. Boxwood (Buxus spp.) and rhododendron (Rhododendron subgenus Rhododendron and Hymenanthes) represent the top two broadleaf evergreen woody plants by farmgate value in Oregon. Historically, Phytophthora root rot has been considered the most destructive disease of...

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with high folate content in wild potato species

Creator:: Bali, Sapinder, Robinson, Bruce R., Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar, Bamberg, John, and Goyer, Aymeric
Abstract:: Micronutrient deficiency, also known as the hidden hunger, affects over two billion people worldwide. Potato is the third most consumed food crops in the world, and is therefore a fundamental element of food security for millions of people. Increasing the amount of micronutrients in food crop could help alleviate worldwide...

Biological Soil Crusts of the Great Basin : An Examination of their Distribution, Recovery from Disturbance and Restoration

Creator:: Condon, Lea A.
Abstract:: We are at risk of losing the sagebrush steppe in the floristic Great Basin to the invasion of Bromus tectorum L., cheatgrass. The floristic Great Basin includes the Central Basin and Range, the Northern Basin and Range, and the Snake River Plain. The Great Basin receives most of its precipitation...

Evolution and ecology of the Ceanothus-Frankia symbiosis

Creator:: Jeong, Soon-Chun
Abstract:: The evolutionary relationship between Frankia and actinorhizal plants was evaluated by reconstructing molecular phylogenetic trees from nifH, 16S rDNA, and rbcL nucleotide sequences. Subgroupings in Frankia phylogenetic trees reconstructed from nifH and from 16S rDNA sequences were consistent in terms of plant origins of Frankia strains. Although the branching order...

Effects of current velocity, irradiance, and herbivory on algal assemblages in laboratory streams

Creator:: Steinman, Alan D.
Abstract:: Effects of current velocity, irradiance, and grazing on the biomass, taxonomic structure, physiognomy, and chemical composition of lotic algal assemblages were investigated. Four experiments, lasting 32 to 75 days, were conducted in laboratory streams to determine how these factors affect algal assemblages singly, and in concert with each other. Regardless...

Nitrogen fixation by Purshia tridentata : some ecological aspects and root nodule anatomy

Creator:: Dalton, David Andrews
Abstract:: This study examines several aspects of nitrogen fixation by Purshia tridentata (Pursh) D. C., a rosaceous shrub widespread in the central Oregon pumice region, especially as an understory species in Pinus ponderosa and Pinus contorta forests. Anatomical studies of root nodules under the light microscope revealed strong similarities to other...

Comparative gibberellin relationships in tall and dwarf peas (Pisum sativum L.)

Creator:: Anderson, James David
Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine whether a direct correlation exists between the growth rates of tall and dwarf peas grown either in the light or in the dark and endogenous gibberellin (GA) content. Three separate but related experimental approaches were utilized: (1) the determination of possible qualitative and /or quantitative...

Microbial analysis of coniferous forest and nursery soils : effects of ectomycorrhizae, volatiles, and humic-rich organic substrates

Creator:: Schisler, David Albert
Abstract:: Fusarium spp. frequent conifer nursery soils yet are rarely recovered from coniferous forest soils. Experiments were performed to determine what influence humic-rich organic amendments and volatiles from soil, ectomycorrhizal fungi and ectomycorrhizae have on the populations of several physiologic and taxonomic microbial groups potentially related to this phenomenon. A comparative...
