Abstract:: Hybrids between wheat and jointed goatgrass have long been presumed to be sterile; however, seed were found on hybrid plants in 1990. Field studies were conducted in 1995 and repeated in 1996. One to ten hybrid plants were planted in variable populations of wheat and jointed goatgrass to determine the...

Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest has become one of the nation’s premier sweet cherry, Prunus avium, production areas. As production of sweet cherries has flourished in Oregon and Washington, so has powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Podosphaera clandestina, which infects both foliage and fruit causing severe economic damage to growers. Sweet...

Creator:: David, Nicholas L.
Abstract:: Field trials were conducted during 2001 to 2003 to investigate soil population dynamics of Meloidogyne chitwoodi, tuber symptom suppression using oxamyl, and post-harvest tuber symptom development on short-season potato varieties Russet Norkotah and Russet Nugget (San Luis Valley only). The experiments were located in the San Luis Valley in Colorado,...

Creator:: Gordon, Tyler C.
Abstract:: Stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis subsp. graminicola, can cause yield reductions exceeding 90% on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) crops grown for seed if not treated with fungicide in the spring. There is evidence that late-spring stem rust epidemics are initiated by populations that survived the winter....

Creator:: Park, Hayley E.
Abstract:: Improving crop cultivars for use on organic farms is pertinent, as current elite germplasm is less resilient within the more variable context of organic farm environments. Although a growing number of studies have focused on organic plant breeding in cereal crops, very few have focused on vegetable crops, especially those...

Creator:: Wu, Ruyi
Abstract:: The objective of this project was to investigate the effects of refrigeration storage and processing technologies on the quality and nutraceutical benefit of blackberries. 'Marion' and 'Evergreen', the two major blackberry varieties in Oregon, were evaluated in this study. For refrigeration storage, fresh fruit were packed in clam-shell containers right...

Creator:: Schmidt, Joseph A.
Abstract:: In recent years, many studies have focused on the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating the development of wine grapes. The course of grape berry development is directed by genetic design and is mediated by phytohormones, which regulate grape berry growth and development by orchestrating a complex network of interacting genes,...
