Investigating the Genetic Control of Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Snap Beans

Creator:: Huster, Abigail R.
Abstract:: Root rot diseases are a major constraint to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production around the world. Both snap beans and dry beans are affected. Root rot diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens; however, Fusarium solani is a common causal agent. Fusarium root rot is a primary yield...

Evaluating "nuisance" beaver relocation as a tool to increase coho salmon habitat in the Alsea Basin of the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Petro, Vanessa M.
Abstract:: Many stakeholders involved with stream restoration in the Pacific Northwest have discussed the potential benefits of using beaver dam construction activities (Castor canadensis) as a management tool to improve degraded stream habitat for anadromous salmon species. In addition, there has been growing interest in using nuisance beavers, primarily controlled by...

Characterizing the Plant-Associated Symbionts, Rhodococcus and Agrobacterium

Creator:: Fuller, Skylar L.
Abstract:: Symbioses are a spectrum of interactions between organisms living in closeassociation. These intimate interactions range from mutualism, in which bothorganisms benefit, to parasitism, where one organism benefits at the expense ofthe other. Horizontal gene transfer is the acquisition of genes independent ofvertical transmission and demonstrably promotes the transition of bacteria...

Understanding Citizen Advisory Boards : A National Census of Tree Boards

Creator:: Greenleaf, Sarah (Sarah Maleno)
Abstract:: Effective management of urban forests is vital to society due to the numerous ecological, economic, and social benefits they provide. In many cities, management efforts are commonly supported by citizen advisory groups, which are often generically referred to as “tree boards” within the urban forestry context. Very little is known...

Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

Creator:: Mirzaei, Babak
Abstract:: The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

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...

Hybridization between yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) and meadow knapweed (Centaurea x moncktonii)

Creator:: Miskella, John
Abstract:: Centaurea solstitialis L. (yellow starthistle) and C. × moncktonii Britt. (meadow knapweed) are members of the genus Centaurea in the Asteraceae family. Both species have become serious management concerns as invasive species in North America, often displacing native vegetation and costing land managers millions of dollars to eradicate. Seven plants...

Anadromous Salmonid Restoration in the Lower Crooked River : Can Collaboration and Legislation Coexist?

Creator:: McMurtrey, Owen S.
Abstract:: In watersheds across the American Pacific Northwest, changes in the cultural and regulatory landscape have increased pressure to restore and protect populations of anadromous fish. But restoration of anadromous fish populations constitutes a ‘wicked problem’, relentless in character, affecting diverse stakeholder groups, and defying ‘once and for all’ solutions (Weber...

Hybridization between Castilleja levisecta and C. hispida : Implications for Pacific Northwest Prairie Management

Creator:: Sandlin, Isaac J., III
Abstract:: Conservation conflicts may develop on restoration sites with multiple species recovery objectives. For example, on Pacific Northwest prairies, the co-planting of the diploid cytotype of the common native wildflower Castilleja hispida with the endangered wildflower C. levisecta has resulted in putative Castilleja hybrids on restoration sites, prompting fears that genetic...

Differences in Evolutionary History and Ploidy Type Shape the Interactions of Populus tremuloides Michx. with Climate

Creator:: Greer, Burke Thomas
Abstract:: Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx) is a species with high phenotypic plasticity and a broad distribution that, in the last decade, has experienced climate stress-induced mortality called Sudden Aspen Decline (SAD). In order to help mitigate the effects of SAD in the future, we need a better understanding of aspen’s...
