The development and analysis of sequence-based DNA markers in sunflower for DNA fingerprinting and candidate gene analysis

Creator:: Hongtrakul, Vipa
Abstract:: Molecular DNA markers have become widely used in all areas of genetic research. The objectives of this thesis were to develop polymorphic markers in sunflower and utilize the markers for genetic and candidate gene analyses. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to estimate genetic similarities and assess the...

Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying genome-wide recombination rate and mating system differences in meadowfoam

Creator:: Kishore, Venkata Krishna
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Bentham; Order: Brassicales; Family: Limnanthaceae) is a self-compatible, predominantly allogamous, insect pollinated species. Meadowfoam oil is a source of novel unsaturated very-long-chain (VLC) seed oils (C₂₀ and C₂₂) with low concentrations of saturated fatty acids (typically less than 2%) and outstanding oxidative stability. Here we report the...

Farmer perspectives on the transition to organic agriculture : an Oregon study of farmer motivations and barriers

Creator:: Lloyd, Deanna M.
Abstract:: In the midst of double-digit growth in market demand for organic products, there is a lag in the growth of certified organic production in the United States. This thesis investigated the motivations and barriers farmers face when making the transition to organic agriculture. Three distinct organic farmer typologies were identified:...

Identification and distribution of the mating-type locus and development of cleistothecia of Podosphaera macularis

Creator:: Wolfenbarger, Sierra N.
Abstract:: Podosphaera macularis, causal agent of hop powdery mildew, is known to produce cleistothecia (syn. chasmothecia) in eastern North America and Europe, but ascocarps are not reported from the Pacific Northwestern region of North America. Reasons for the apparent absence of cleistothecia in the Pacific Northwest are unknown. We established that...

Assessment of genetic resistance to strawbreaker foot-rot (Pseudocercosporella Herpotrichoides) in selected winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars

Creator:: Encinas-Mungarro, Andres
Abstract:: Strawbreaker foot-rot is a major limiting factor to cost efficient winter wheat production in the Pacific Northwest. Development of resistant cultivars has been hindered by the lack of adequate levels of genetic resistance and screening techniques which can consistently detect desired genotypes. Studies were conducted to determine if the reported...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the high oleic acid phenotype in sunflower

Creator:: Schuppert, Gunnar Felix
Abstract:: Wildtype sunflower typically produces 12-24% oleic acid (18:1) and 70-82% linoleic acid (18:2). High-oleic sunflower, by contrast, produces up to 80-94% oleic acid. The monounsaturated oleic acid has a greater oxidative stability than the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, predominant in wildtype sunflower, and has greater nutritional benefits than polyunsaturated and saturated...

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Genomic Shifts under Different Agricultural Management Systems

Creator:: King, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Although the concept of breeding crops for organic agricultural systems has been around for decades, few studies have been reported for vegetable crops to quantify and compare how conventional and organic systems differ in their selection pressures on genotypes advancing through the breeding cycle; especially research utilizing modern sequencing capabilities....

Production of haploid plants in selected winter wheat genotypes through anther culture and intergeneric crosses with maize

Creator:: Mendoza, Maria Graciela
Abstract:: A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent a random sample of gametes from the parental...

Nature of the inheritance of gluten strength and carotenoid pigment content in winter by spring and durum wheat crosses (Triticum turgidum L. Var. durum)

Creator:: Ammar, Karim
Abstract:: Durum wheat cultivars for North-Eastern Oregon have to be competitive in terms of their yield potential with soft white winter wheat cultivars and meet strict quality requirements of the milling industry. Combining the high yield potential of fall planted durum wheat cultivars which have an acceptable level of winter hardiness...
