Conservation genetics of Kincaid's lupine : a threatened plant of western Oregon and southwest Washington grasslands

Creator:: Severns, Paul M.
Abstract:: Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction suggested that populations may suffer reductions...

Population and conservation genetic structure of the Cascades frog, Rana cascadae throughout the species' range

Creator:: Monsen, Kirsten J.
Abstract:: A major goal of conservation biology is to elucidate the population genetic structure in threatened species and assess the relative importance of the evolutionary forces that shape that population genetic structure. I conducted three studies in the declining amphibian Rana cascadae to assess levels of population genetic differentiation and the...

Phylogeography, evolution, and conservation in forest-associated Pacific Northwest salamanders

Creator:: Wagner, R. Steven
Abstract:: Phylogeographic studies of six Pacific Northwest forest-associated salamanders provide insight into historical and contemporary processes on population genetic structure. Among Larch Mountain Salamanders (Plethodon larselli), cytochrome b mitochondrial (mtDNA) sequences (381 bp) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPDs; 34 loci) supported separate Management Units for northern and southern populations (12...

Spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes

Creator:: Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes) have attracted wide scientific and public interest from an evolutionary, fishery and conservation standpoints. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses involving spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes, darkblotched (S. crameri) and canary rockfish (S. pinniger), using statistical analyses of genetic variation within...

Quantitative trait locus analysis of agronomic and malting quality traits in the Harrington x Morex barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mapping population

Creator:: Marquez-Cedillo, Luis A.
Abstract:: Characterization of the determinants of economically important phenotypes showing complex inheritance should lead to more effective use of genetic resources. This study was conducted to determine the number, genome location and effects of QTLs determining malting quality and agronomic traits in the two North American barley quality standards. Using a...

Localization and genetic mapping of some factors influencing rachis brittleness and free-threshing habit in wheat

Creator:: Nalam, Vamsi J.
Abstract:: Domesticated forms of wheat exhibit traits that have increased their adaptation to cultivation by humans. Some of the most critical adaptive differences involve changes to morphological features that make the crop easier to harvest like ear rachis stiffness (brittle to non-brittle rachis) and the ease with which the seed is...

Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying genome-wide recombination rate and mating system differences in meadowfoam

Creator:: Kishore, Venkata Krishna
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Bentham; Order: Brassicales; Family: Limnanthaceae) is a self-compatible, predominantly allogamous, insect pollinated species. Meadowfoam oil is a source of novel unsaturated very-long-chain (VLC) seed oils (C₂₀ and C₂₂) with low concentrations of saturated fatty acids (typically less than 2%) and outstanding oxidative stability. Here we report the...

Genetic requirements for the assembly and cell-to-cell movement of the beet yellows virus

Creator:: Alzhanova, Dina
Abstract:: Beet yellows virus (BYV) is a filamentous, positive-strand RNA virus that belongs to the family Closteroviridae. BYV particles encapsidate a 15.5 kb RNA and posses complex polar architecture. A long virion body is formed by the major capsid protein(CP), whereas the minor capsid protein (CPm) assembles a short tail that...

Greater Sage-grouse Comprehensive Conservation Strategy

Creator:: Stiver, S. J.
Abstract:: The overall goal of the Greater Sage-grouse Comprehensive Conservation Strategy (Strategy) is to maintain and enhance populations and distribution of sagegrouse by protecting and improving sagebrush habitats and ecosystems that sustain these populations. This Strategy outlines the critical need to develop the associations among local, state, provincial, tribal, and federal...

Functional analysis of the pathogenic mutation MLH1-E578G on human MLH1 activity in DNA mismatch repair

Creator:: Huo, Xin
Abstract:: Mismatch repair (MMR) system performs mainly three roles to maintain genomic stability, correct DNA biosynthetic errors, ensure the fidelity of genetic recombination, and in mammalian cells participate in the cellular response to some DNA damages. Deficiencies in mismatch repair increase mutation rates and cancer risks. In eukaryotes, the MMR system...
