Phytophthora species and riparian alder tree damage in western Oregon

Creator:: Sims, Laura L.
Abstract:: The genus Phytophthora contains some of the most destructive pathogens of forest trees, including the most destructive pathogen of alder in recent times, Phytophthora alni. Alder trees were reported to be suffering from canopy dieback in riparian ecosystems in western Oregon, which prompted a survey of alder health and monitoring...

Pathogenicity of Phytophthora species from Oregon waterways

Creator:: Navarro, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Described as one of the most destructive pathogens of agricultural crops and forest trees, Phytophthora is a genus of microorganisms containing over 100 known species. Phytophthora alni has caused collar and root disease in alders throughout Europe and a form of the species has recently been isolated in North America....

Pathogenesis and intertree transmission of Verticicladiella wageneri in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Creator:: Hessburg, Paul F.
Abstract:: Verticicladiella wageneri Kendr. is a vascular wilt pathogen of Douglas-fir in the Pacific Northwest, The disease is characterized by black staining of colonized sapwood; crown symptoms are those typical of a wilting syndrome. Histopathological studies revealed that the pathogen is limited to the xylem but causes vascular dysfunction in both...

Comparison of Phellinus weirdi root rot damage in a 60-year-old Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stand with the damage in the preceding old-growth stand

Creator:: Tkacz, Borys M.
Abstract:: Laminated root rot of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) caused by the fungus Phellinus weirii (Murr.)Gilbertson was studied in two successive stands in the Oregon Coast Range. Damage due to the disease in a 60-year-old second-growth stand was compared with incidence in the preceding 300-year-old stand on the same site....

Susceptibility of Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) to Phytophthora lateralis

Creator:: Murray, Marion S.
Abstract:: In 1991 Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) was reported as a new host for Phytophthora lateralis Tucker and Milbrath which is an aggressive root rot pathogen thought previously to be specific to Port-Orford-cedar. This study was designed to compare the pathogenicity of P. lateralis on the two hosts, and to...

Spatial analysis of Phellinus weirii infection centers in the central Cascades of Oregon : inferring ecological processes from patterns

Creator:: Lattin, Peter D.
Abstract:: This study was conducted to investigate why root disease centers east of the Cascade crest tend to be larger in diameter and more abundant than their counterparts to the west, within subalpine forest stands of central Oregon. The trend in a 290 km² study area appeared opposite of what was...

Epidemiology and population biology of Inonotus tomentosus as a pathogen of forests of British Columbia

Creator:: Lewis, Katherine JoAnn
Abstract:: The root disease fungus Inonotus tomentosus, common in the old growth boreal forests of British Columbia, poses a threat to the health of second growth forests established on sites with a previous history of root disease. Colonized stumps occur in groups of 1 to 6; the groups are clumped within...

Phylogenetics, population genetics, molecular epidemiology, and pathogenicity of the Douglas-fir Swiss needle cast pathogen Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii

Creator:: Winton, Loretta M.
Abstract:: A hierarchical series of studies, based mainly on molecular data, was conducted to elucidate the life history of the Douglas-fir Swiss needle cast pathogen Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii at macro- and micro-evolutionary scales. This information was then utilized to design and evaluate molecular diagnostic tools for use in studies on the epidemiology...

Susceptibility of golden chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) to Phytophthora cambivora

Creator:: Saavedra, Angel Luis
Abstract:: In early 2000, unusual mortality of a native North American tree, golden chinquapin, was reported by the USDA-Forest Service. Dying trees exhibited girdling cankers in the inner bark of the lower bole, branch flagging and defoliation. Isolations from necrotic tissues and soil associated with diseased or killed trees yielded Phytophthora...

The infection and colonization of Douglas-fir needles by the Swiss needle cast pathogen, Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii (Rhode) Petrak

Creator:: Capitano, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii is a pathogenic fungus on Douglas-fir needles which has become a serious threat to timber production in the last decade along the Oregon coast This research was undertaken to describe the general biology and pathology of F. gaeumannii on Douglas-fir needles and how environmental variables affect fungal development....
