  • Post-dispersal seed fates in a Western Oregon native prairie

    Creator:
    Clark, Deborah L.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of post-dispersal seed fates and other regeneration characteristics is crucial for predicting abundances and distributions of populations and, ultimately, community species composition and diversity. Seed fate studies, however, are rare primarily due to the difficulty of determining seed fates and causes of mortality. This thesis investigated post-dispersal seed fates...

  • Ascospore viability and dispersal from pruned branches infected with Anisogramma anomala

    Creator:
    Heckert, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    Viability and dispersal of ascospores of Anisogramma anomala, the cause of eastern filbert blight (EFB) on European hazelnut, from diseased branches pruned from trees were measured. In each of two years, branches bearing stromata of A. anomala were cut in mid-December and compared to branches cut near budbreak in March,...

  • Susceptibility of coast redwood seedlings to Phytophthora ramorum

    Creator:
    Lucas, Sunny L.
    Abstract:
    Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) (D. Don) Endl. is a host for Phytophthora ramorum but it was unclear if the pathogen represents a significant disease risk to this tree species. In this study the susceptibility of coast redwood seedlings and the likelihood of sporulation on redwood were examined. Two methods were...

  • Host and Pathogen Genetics in the Sharp Eyespot Disease of Wheat

    Creator:
    Liu, Jiang
    Abstract:
    Wheat sharp eyespot (SES), caused by the soil-borne fungus Rhizoctonia cerealis is a common stem disease of wheat globally. The disease caused a severe and extensive epidemic throughout the Willamette Valley of Oregon in 2014 and has remained one of the most important wheat diseases in this region. However, litte...
