Phylogenetic Estimation and Ancestral State Reconstruction of Rubus (Rosaceae) using Target Capture Sequencing

Creator:: Carter, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Hybridization, polyploidy, and apomixis have made phylogenetic estimation in Rubus challenging. I used target capture to sequence approximately 1000 low copy nuclear loci and the chloroplast genome for 94 accessions representing the genus Rubus and distributed worldwide. Species phylogenies were estimated using two coalescent based methods, ASTRAL-II and SVDQuartets, and...

Validation of Molecular Markers Associated with Perpetual Flowering (PF) and Soluble Solids Content (SSC) in Strawberry (Fragaria xananassa Duch. ex Rozier)

Creator:: Salinas, Natalia R.
Abstract:: Strawberry is economically the most important berry crop grown worldwide and breeders are continuously striving to develop improved cultivars. So far, marker assisted breeding (MAB) in strawberry has been limited to the private sector. However, loci controlling some traits of economic importance such as perpetual flowering (PF) and soluble solids...

Advances in molecular systematics of clavicipitaceous fungi (Sordariomycetes: Hypocreales)

Creator:: Kepler, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Historical concepts of Clavicipitaceae have included a broad range of species that display diverse morphologies, ecological modes and host associations. When subjected to multigene phylogenetic investigation of evolutionary history, the family was found to be polyphyletic, largely driven by diversity in the genus Cordyceps, previously containing over 400 taxa. The...

Development and use of molecular tools in Fragaria

Creator:: Njuguna, Wambui
Abstract:: This dissertation describes the application and development of molecular tools that have great potential for use in studying variation in strawberry germplasm. The first study evaluated 91 microsatellite (simple sequence repeat, SSR) markers for transferability in 22 Fragaria species and their utility in fingerprinting octoploid strawberries. Out of the transferable...

Exploiting Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum genetic resources : diversity analysis and germplasm development

Creator:: Matus, Iván Ariel
Abstract:: Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) could be a source of useful genes for improving cultivated barley. The useful genes present in Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum may be new alleles at described loci, or these may be entirely new genes in the sense that there is limited allelic variation at...

The influence of social structure and molecular evolution on genetic diversity in the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus)

Creator:: Alexander, Alana
Abstract:: The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) shows some of the most derived characteristics of any mammal: a large body size, large brain, complex social organization and a capacity for deep foraging dives that few other marine mammals can match. Despite a history of exploitation that removed hundreds of thousands of individuals,...

Phylogeography and population structure of least terns (Sterna antillarum)

Creator:: Draheim, Hope M.
Abstract:: Historically, least terns (Sterna antillarum) were one of the most common tern species in North America. However, population declines have resulted from direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures on their breeding and foraging habitat. Three subspecies of least terns have been described within the United States: California least tern (S. a....

Rogue pod traits in Phaseolus vulgaris

Creator:: Al-Bader, Noor
Abstract:: Snap beans are the vegetable form of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with low fiber, stringless and round, succulent pods that are eaten in the immature stage. Seed companies commit significant resources to maintaining purity and uniformity of snap bean cultivars. While some variability may be introduced through outcrossing (beans...

Conservation biology of Perideridia erythrorhiza (Apiaceae) : experimental reintroduction and life history

Creator:: Roberts, Kimberly A.
Abstract:: An experimental reintroduction was performed to determine the best method to create new populations of the tuberous species Perideridia erythrorhiza, a rare vascular plant endemic to southern Oregon. Only a handful of sites are currently present, and many of these are subject to other land uses such as urban development...

Fine Mapping and Gene Expression Analysis of Self-Incompatibility in Hazelnut

Creator:: Hill, Ryan J.
Abstract:: The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a diploid (2n = 2x = 22) tree crop important to the economy of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where 99% of hazelnut production in the United States is located. Corylus avellana exhibits sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI), controlled by a single S-locus with at least 33...
