Developing Tools for Hardy Hibiscus and Lilac Breeding: Quantile Regression, Cytogenetics, Interspecific Hybridization, Somatic Hybridization, and Marker-Trait Association

Creator:: Chen, Hsuan
Abstract:: Hibiscus and lilacs (Syringa spp.) are economically important nursery crops in the US that accounted for 4.5 million units ($30 million) and 2 million units ($20 million), respectively (USDA, 2016). To maintain and expand the market share of ornamental plants such as lilacs and Hibiscus, novel performance, floral ornamental value,...

Breeding qualitative and quantitative traits for potatoes in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Graebner, Ryan C.
Abstract:: The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the world’s most important staple crops, ranked fourth after maize, rice, and wheat. While the potato’s success is due largely to its high yield, it also benefits from its broad global acceptance, and its ability to be used by the consumer...

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...

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,...

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...

Genetic mapping of Cuphea lanceolata : molecular-marker linkage to quantitative-trait loci affecting seed capric acid, seed oil, and embryo development

Creator:: Webb, David M. (David Morton), 1954-
Abstract:: Cuphea is an herbaceous genus having species whose seed storage lipids are predominantly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Cuphea lanceolate Ait, and Cuphea viscosissima Jacq. are central to the breeding of Cuphea as a new commercial source of MCTs. The objectives of this thesis were to develop a reliable method to extract...

Evaluation of genetic diversity in wild populations of black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.)

Creator:: Dossett, Michael
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been renewed interest in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.) breeding. This has been spurred, in part, by an increase in black raspberry consumption due to studies that have shown them to be particularly high in anthocyanin content indicating high levels of antioxidants. Present cultivars are...

Single nucleotide polymorphism diversity in domesticated and wild sunflowers

Creator:: Freeman, Carrie
Abstract:: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common DNA polymorphisms in plant and animal genomes. SNPs were identified in the allele sequences of up to 12 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes for a genome-wide sample of 81 loci originally mapped using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The RFLP loci...

Determining ploidy level and nuclear DNA content in Rubus by flow cytometry

Creator:: Meng, Rengong
Abstract:: Nuclear DNA flow cytometry was used to differentiate ploidy level and determine nuclear DNA content in Rubus. Nuclei suspensions were prepared from leaf discs of young leaves following published protocols with modifications that included: increasing the stain concentration, adding the stain after the RN ase treatment instead of adding it...
