  • Investigation of hop downy mildew through association mapping and observations of the oospore

    Creator:
    Parker, Thomas B.
    Abstract:
    Hop downy mildew is a devastating disease affecting hop requiring expensive fungicide applications throughout the growing season. Plant resistance is highly desirable and theorized as being decidedly quantitative with dominance and epistasis involved in resistance. An association mapping approach using a mixed-model was used to identify AFLP markers associated with...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • Husbandry stress of Zebrafish, Danio rerio

    Creator:
    Ramsay, Jennifer Mara
    Abstract:
    Zebrafish, Danio rerio, are widely used as vertebrate research organisms yet little is know about their responses to husbandry stressors. This dissertation examined the whole-body cortisol responses of zebrafish to husbandry stress. Additionally, the effects of stress on the susceptibility to mycobacteriosis and microsporidiosis (Pseudoloma neurophilia) were determined including effects...

    Ebrahem, Kais Shaheb
    Abstract:
    This thesis research is a series of five studies dealing with various aspects of hazelnut quality: 1. Identification of kernel mold and its incidence among hazelnut varieties. 2. Seasonal development and composition of kernels. 3. Hazelnut oil composition (fatty acids and tocopherols) of seventeen varieties. 4. Hazelnut oil composition compared...
