Microsatellite marker development and molecular characterization in highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and Vaccinium species

Creator:: Boches, Peter
Abstract:: Pre-existing Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) libraries (1,305 sequences) and a newly constructed microsatellite-enriched genomic library (136 clones) from the V. corymbosum cultivar 'Bluecrop' were screened for unique Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR)-containing sequences. Our goal was to develop a set of robust SSR markers for use in managing the National Clonal...

Growth, morphology, and in vitro development of transgenic poplars with RNAi-inhibited PtDDM1-1/2 gene expression

Creator:: Zhu, Ruoqing
Abstract:: Epigenetic mechanisms are important for control of plant development, and may play a particularly important role in trees given their long life cycles and distinctive and stable tissue types. To help understand the role of epigenetics in tree development, we produced transgenic poplars with reduced activity of the DDM1 genes,...

Light-frame versus timber frame : a study in quantifying the differences

Creator:: Malone, Brian P.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to compare light wood framing and traditional timber framing quantitatively through environmental impact assessment and load path analysis. This research was inspired by a traditional timber frame structure constructed in Vermont in 2011, and the design of structures considered within reflect the general characteristics...

Pressure sensitive adhesives based on oleic acid

Creator:: Wu, Yili
Abstract:: Existing pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are mostly based on petrochemicals. In this study, a novel PSA based on a renewable material, methyl oleate, was prepared and characterized. Methyl oleate was first epoxidized to form epoxidized methyl oleate that was subsequently hydrolyzed and acidified to form epoxidized oleic acid (EOA) which...

Hybridization between yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) and meadow knapweed (Centaurea x moncktonii)

Creator:: Miskella, John
Abstract:: Centaurea solstitialis L. (yellow starthistle) and C. × moncktonii Britt. (meadow knapweed) are members of the genus Centaurea in the Asteraceae family. Both species have become serious management concerns as invasive species in North America, often displacing native vegetation and costing land managers millions of dollars to eradicate. Seven plants...

Using soil data to enhance modeling of forest responses to climate change

Creator:: Peterman, Wendy L.
Abstract:: The over-arching theme of this work is that soil data affect the performance and realism of vegetation models with particular focus on their ability to predict or explain disturbances such as fire or disease. We tested the sensitivity of the Excel version of the 3-PG model to soil properties and...

Predicting urban tree attributes for major species in urbanized areas of the western Pacific states

Creator:: Jeroue, Lacey M.
Abstract:: Urban forests are an essential green infrastructure of our cities. Due to the proximity of urban trees to more than 250 million people and the grey infrastructure within United States cities, urban forests are uniquely positioned to provide a host of social, environmental and economic benefits. Careful management that maximizes...

Germplasm design, gene discovery, and variety release: breeding barley for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Graebner, Ryan C.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three manuscripts addressing separate components of barley breeding, plus an introduction and a conclusion summarizing the status of barley in the Pacific Northwest, plus the implications of the research presented in this thesis. In the first manuscript, a package written for the statistical software "R" that...

Multi-scale Investigation of Adhesive Bond Durability

Creator:: McKinley, Paige Elizabeth
Abstract:: Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...

Developing Flavorful and Sustainable Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.): Integrating Malting Quality and Barley Contributions to Beer Flavor within the Framework of Facultative Growth Habit

Creator:: Herb, Dustin Walker
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of a general introduction, three manuscripts, and general conclusions. The research integrates research on (1) the effects of barley genetics and production environment on the contribution of barley to beer flavor, (2) the effects of degree of malt modification on barley contributions to beer flavor and (3)...
