Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

Creator:: Skinner, Kristin M.
Abstract:: Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

Serpentine and non-serpentine edaphic ecology and the recovery of Lomatium cookii (Apiaceae), an endangered endemic of southwest Oregon

Creator:: Silvernail, Ian S.
Abstract:: The role of unusual geologies in plant distribution and form is well-known. Serpentine (ultramafic) soils exert a particularly strong influence on plants, as evidenced by a high level of endemism and the morphological and physiological traits displayed in adaptation to the extraordinary chemistry of these substrates. Adaptation may lead to...

Recruitment predictors of an endangered prairie species : a case study of Erigeron decumbens

Creator:: Gallagher, Katie J.
Abstract:: Preservation of rare plant species often requires establishment of new populations. Survivorship surveys are the most common method of post-introduction monitoring. However, they provide an incomplete picture of establishment success. This study is an attempt to develop a model for determining establishment success by determining the factors affecting recruitment in...

Analysis of the maize TOUSLED-LIKE KINASE gene family

Creator:: Yoon, Elizabeth S.
Abstract:: Protein kinases are an abundant class of enzymes which play important roles in numerous signal transduction systems. Arabidopsis TOUSLED kinase is a serine/threonine kinase which is essential for cell-cell communication within the shoot meristem. TOUSLED is encoded by a single gene in Arabidopsis. Recessive mutants in this gene show mild...

Recommendations for Control of Tall Oatgrass, Poison Oak, and Rose in Willamette Valley Upland Prairies

Creator:: Wilson, Mark V. and Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950-
Abstract:: Native upland prairies, which once dominated the landscape of the Willamette Valley, are considered among the rarest of Oregon's ecosystems. Even though only remnants remain today, they harbor many rare and endangered species such as the Fender's blue butterfly and its host plant, Kincaid’s lupine. Invasion of remnant prairies by...

Final report 1994-1996 : Effects of fire and fire fighting techniques on Fender's blue butterfly and Kincaid's lupine

Creator:: Clark, Deborah Louise, 1950- and Wilson, Mark V.
Abstract:: We report results from a field experiment evaluating the effectiveness of mowing, mowing and herbicides, and burning on woody plants, key native and non-native grasses and forbs, and the Fender's blue butterfly. The goal was to find a technique that controlled woody pest plants without harming native species or promoting...

The glutamine synthetases in soybean root nodules and free-living Rhizobium japonicum

Creator:: Guevara, Juan Garcia
Abstract:: Glutamine synthetase activity is present in both the cytosol and bacteroid fractions of soybean root nodules. Total activity measurements indicate that at least 90% of the activity in nodules is located in the cytosol. Results reported by McParland, et al. (29), showed that many properties of glutamine synthetase from nodule...

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...

Morphology, ultrastructure and mating of sporidia of a wheat-bunt fungus, Tilletia caries (DC.) Tul.

Creator:: Kollmorgen, James Frederick
Abstract:: The teliospore of Tilletia caries germinates to produce a promycelium with a whorl of primary sporidia at its tip. The time between emergence of the promycelium and the development of primary sporidia averaged 2.3 h. Fusion between compatible sporidia occurred within an additional 3.8 h. Primary sporidia appeared to be...
