Port-Orford-cedar and Phytophthora lateralis : grafting and heritability of resistance in the host, and variation in the pathogen

Creator:

McWilliams, Michael G.

Abstract:

Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a forest tree native to a small area of Oregon and California. A root disease caused by Phytophthora lateralis causes widespread mortality of Port-Orford-cedar. This dissertation examines three important elements of the Port-Orford-cedar P. lateralis pathosystem related to breeding for disease resistance: use of resistant rootstocks...
