The Ecology and Epidemiology of Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae in Central Oregon Carrot Seed Production Systems

Creator:: Baldino, Katelyn D.
Abstract:: Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae (Xhc) is an epiphytic, plant pathogenic bacterium that causes the disease bacterial blight of carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus). Infection with Xhc can result in blighting of leaves and umbels and reduce quality and yield of carrot seed crops. Carrot production in the United States approaches...

Inheritance and Allelism Among the B genes in Cucurbita moschata

Creator:: Wilson, Casey K.
Abstract:: One of the most economically important genes in squash (Cucurbita spp.) is the B gene which conditions precocious depletion of chlorophyll in preanthesis fruit. The B genes are found naturally occurring in at least three of the five domesticated species of Cucurbita, including C. pepo, C. maxima and, most recently...

Biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems of southern Oregon : presence, abundance and distribution across climate gradients

Creator:: Olarra, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In arid and semi-arid deserts, soils are commonly covered with biological soil crusts. The study of arid biocrusts and their ecological function has become increasingly common in the literature over the last several decades. Interestingly, no mention is made of biological soil crusts in forested ecosystems, raising the question as...

Breeding and genetics of lilacs and hardy hibiscus

Creator:: Lattier, Jason D.
Abstract:: Lilacs are a group of ornamental trees and shrubs in the Oleaceae family consisting of 22 to 30 species. There are six series within genus Syringa: Pubescentes, Villosae, Ligustrae, Ligustrina, Pinnatifoliae, and Syringa. Fertility and cross-compatibility among cultivars, species, and series have yet to be formally investigated. Over three years,...

Creep-feeding to stimulate metabolic imprinting in nursing beef heifers : impacts on heifer growth, reproductive, and physiological parameters

Creator:: De Meireles Reis, Maria
Abstract:: The following experiment presented herein compared growth, physiological, and reproductive responses of beef heifers with (MI) or without (CON) access to a creep-feeder, as a manner to stimulate metabolic imprinting while nursing their dams. On d 0 of the experiment, 60 Angus × Hereford heifers were ranked by initial BW...

Forage production, dual use potential, and trait variation in chicory grown in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Seeno, Elizabeth
Abstract:: Grasslands in the Pacific Northwest are characterized by seasonally wet, acidic soils that mainly support cool season grasses and a limited number of legume species. A major limitation to efficient animal production in grass-dominant pastures is the decline in the herbage growth rate and nutritional quality of forage from late...

Influence of supplement composition on utilization of low-quality, cool-season forages by beef cattle

Creator:: McGuire, Dustin L.
Abstract:: Two studies were conducted to evaluate the influence of supplement composition on intake and digestibility of a low-quality (< 6% CP), cool-season forage, as well as cow performance. Treatments included a non-supplemented control (CON), corn (approximately 8% CP), corn and urea (LU = corn + 0.09 mg/kg BW urea, approximately...

Milk Production, Pasture Performance, and Environmental Sustainability of Specialized Pastures

Creator:: Wilson, Randi L.
Abstract:: This study investigated the effects of diversification strategy through the inclusion of forb and legume based pastures in the feedbase of dairy cows on annual forage production, botanical composition, spring milk yield, N partitioning and methane emissions from dairy cows in Western Oregon. Using a randomized complete block design, 3...

Evolutionary relationships and an investigation of sympatric speciation within Limnanthaceae

Creator:: Meyers, Stephen C.
Abstract:: Limnanthes floccosa ssp. floccosa and L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora are two of five subspecies of Limnanthes floccosa endemic to vernal pools in southern Oregon and northern California. Three seasons of monitoring natural populations have quantified that L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora is always found growing sympatrically with L. floccosa ssp. floccosa...

Temporal effect of vegetation management on growth and wood quality of conifers in a western Oregon plantation

Creator:: Goracke, Heidi S. Roe
Abstract:: Concern over the increasing proportion of juvenile wood grown in second growth plantations has led to a large amount of research on the effects of common silvicultural practices on wood quality. Lacking is research on the effect of timing and duration of vegetation control on wood quality near the pith...
