Effects of flooding on peach, apple, quince and several pear species

Creator:: Andersen, Peter C.
Abstract:: A series of experiments was designed to investigate differential flood-tolerance and the phenomenon of flood-induced stomatal closure of several fruit tree species. The first two experiments were conducted with potted plants submerged outdoors 5-10 cm above the soil line. Plant morphology, growth, leaf conductance (cL), and soil oxygen diffusion rate...

Effects of Diet and Humidity on Drosophila suzukii Flight Performance

Creator:: Wong, Jessica S.
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii is a global and economically significant pest of berries and other soft fruits. This insect can survive and reproduce under a wide variety of environmental conditions and with a substantial number of cultivated and wild hosts. Management of D. suzukii is commonly done with chemical control strategies. However,...

Predictions and Practices for Reducing Heat Damage in Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Yang, Fan-Hsuan
Abstract:: Heat-related fruit damage is a common problem in the northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L). This is particularly true in regions such as the northwestern United States, where summers are warm and dry, and daytime temperature regularly exceeds 32 oC. Millions of dollars of fruit damage are reported in blueberries...

Microsatellite marker development and molecular characterization in highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and Vaccinium species

Creator:: Boches, Peter
Abstract:: Pre-existing Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) libraries (1,305 sequences) and a newly constructed microsatellite-enriched genomic library (136 clones) from the V. corymbosum cultivar 'Bluecrop' were screened for unique Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR)-containing sequences. Our goal was to develop a set of robust SSR markers for use in managing the National Clonal...

Hardiness-maturity relations in red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera Michx.)

Creator:: Nissila, Peter Carl
Abstract:: Red-osier dogwood plants were grown outdoors in a lathhouse and under two temperature regimes in growth chambers to determine the time of vegetative maturity, the transition between summer and winter dormancy. Xylem water potential (XWP), tissue moisture content, ethylene and ethane production, and electrical impedance were used to try to...

Breeding tomato for increased fruit phenolics

Creator:: Boches, Peter S.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to develop tools and germplasm for the production of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) with high fruit phenolics without the use of genetic engineering. A candidate gene analysis was undertaken to identify genes regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in tomato fruit (Aft, Abg, atv, and Purple Smudge)....

Inheritance of internode length, plant form and biennial habit in a cross of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. Capitata group) x broccoli (Italica group)

Creator:: Pelofske, Peter Joseph
Abstract:: An inbred cabbage line (Brassica oleracea L. (Capitata group)) and an inbred broccoli line (B. oleracea L. (Italica group)) were crossed. F₁ progeny were vigorous annuals. Of 3,260 F₂ plants, 250 were biennials and 70 developed cabbage heads. Of these 70, 32 were annuals. Days to first visible buds of...

Breeding tomatoes for improved antioxidant activity

Creator:: Mes, Peter Jack, 1976-
Abstract:: Purple tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculemtum) were bred by incorporating genes that result in anthocyanin production in the skin of fruits. These genes originally came from related wild species as no naturally occurring genes encoding fruit anthocyanin expression are known within the cultivated species. By combining Aft or Abg with atv or...

Using stable isotopes and visual gut examination to determine the diet composition of Pterostichus melanarius (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in western Oregon vegetable row crops

Creator:: Moulton, Laurel A.
Abstract:: The omnivorous ground beetle, Pterostichus melanarius Illager (Coleoptera: Carabidae), is a ubiquitous inhabitant of western Oregon crop land. Because it is often the most abundant ground beetle, and attains densities that could lead to serious impacts on its prey sources, I sought to understand the overall diet composition, and specifically...
