Insects associated with black stain root disease of Douglas-fir in western Oregon

Creator:: Witcosky, Jeffrey John
Abstract:: The root systems of Douglas-fir trees infected with Verticicladiella wagenerii and assigned by crown color and terminal growth characteristics to several stages of decline were excavated at three widely separated sites in the Coast Range of Oregon. Data were gathered on insect species present, extent of colonization of the root...

Comparative epidemiology of Phytophthora diseases of Rhododendron

Creator:: Taylor, Clare Rebecca
Abstract:: Rhododendron species are host to many Phytophthora species and are an important crop in the nursery industry. The foliar epidemiology of twelve Phytophthora diseases on Rhododendron was studied in field and growth chamber experiments on two Rhododendron cultivars. The relative aggressiveness of Phytophthora spp. was assessed using disease incidence, severity,...

Viability and infective potential of Phytophthora pini zoospores in a recirculating irrigation system

Creator:: Shay, Sarah D.
Abstract:: Phytophthora pini Leonian, recently re-established from P. citricola I, is a pathogen with a wide range of forest and nursery hosts. It causes foliar infections in horticultural nurseries in Oregon, where recirculating irrigation systems are common. Increased use of recirculating irrigation systems may contribute to disease caused by waterborne plant...

Breeding for bruchid resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) : interspecific introgression of lectin-like seed proteins from tepary bean (P. acutifolius A. Gray), genetic control and bruchid resistance characterization.

Creator:: Kusolwa, Paul Mbogo
Abstract:: Interspecific hybridization was initiated between wild P. acutifolius accession G40199 and P. vulgaris to introgress resistance to Acanthoscelides obtectus (bean seed weevil). F1 interspecific hybrids were recovered by embryo rescue and maintained until flowering. Mostly sterile hybrids were backcrossed twice to common bean cultivar ICA Pijao to recover sufficient fertility...

Pathways of infection of Phytophthora ramorum in rhododendron

Creator:: Lewis, Carrie D.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum, a plant pathogen, is the cause of sudden oak death and ramorum blight and shoot die-back. It has a wide host range including many native forest species and common nursery plants. The lack of knowledge regarding infection biology of P. ramorum limits our understanding of its ecology and...

Histological comparisons of needle tissues of four species of white pine infected by Cronartium ribicola

Creator:: Sweeney, Katarina
Abstract:: Hypersensitive response-like (HR-like) needle reactions to infection by the white pine blister rust pathogen, Cronartium ribicola, have been reported for several species of five needle pines native to western North America. The best-studied examples are in Pinus monticola and P. lambertiana. In these species a "needle spot" phenotype has been...

The effects of Phytophthora ramorum infection on hydraulic conductivity and tylosis formation in tanoak sapwood

Creator:: Collins, Bradley R.
Abstract:: Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus), along with some other members of Fagaceae, are susceptible to sudden oak death caused by the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum. Symptoms of the disease include dying crowns, bleeding cankers, and eventually death of infected trees. The cause of mortality is not well understood, but recent research indicates that...

The effects of Phytophthora ramorum stem inoculation on aspects of tanoak physiology and xylem function in saplings and seedlings

Creator:: Stamm, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum, an oomycete plant pathogen, is the causal agent of sudden oak death, a serious disease of Fagaceous trees in California and Oregon over the last decade. Tanoak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) is one of the most susceptible host species, but the cause of host mortality is poorly understood. Previous research...

Toxicity of methyl bromide to fungi inhabiting Dahurian larch wood

Creator:: Rhatigan, Ronald G.
Abstract:: Concerns over the possibility of exotic pest introductions from eastern Russia to the West Coast of the United States due to proposed log imports raises the question of the effectiveness of possible mitigation measures. Toxicity of methyl bromide to representative pathogenic fungi was tested by exposing Armillaria ostoyae, Heterobasidion annosum,...
