Factors affecting inter-tree root contact and the transmission of Phellinus weirii in young-growth Douglas-fir

Creator:: Reynolds, Keith M.
Abstract:: Groups of second-growth Douglas-fir (Mirb.) Franco were excavated in plots of two to six trees on two sites in the vicinity of Cowichan Lake, Vancouver Is., British Columbia. Eleven excavation plots provided 36 trees which could be studied in pairs (a total of 50 pairs) in order to ascertain the...

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....

The epidemiology of sudden oak death in Oregon forests

Creator:: Peterson, Ebba K.
Abstract:: The phytopathogen Phytophthora ramorum (Werres, DeCock & Man in't Veld), causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD) of oaks (Quercus spp.) and tanoaks (Notholithocarpus densiflorus syn. Lithocarpus densiflorus), is established in coastal forests of the western United States. Since the discovery of SOD in the Douglas-fir / tanoak forests of...

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...

Pathological and ecological aspects of decline and mortality of Chamaecyparis nootkatensis in southeast Alaska

Creator:: Hennon, Paul Edward
Abstract:: Alaska-cedar (Chamaecvparis nootkatensIs (D. Don) Spach) is a valuable tree that is suffering from a serious decline and mortality of unknown cause throughout southeast Alaska. Epidemiological and pathological studies were initiated to determine if a pathogen is the primary cause of this problem. By examining old aerial photographs and by...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...
