Candidate Genes Associated with Blister Rust Resistance in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) Revealed through de novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Creator:: Bair, Zolton J.
Abstract:: Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is an iconic North American high-elevation tree species currently threatened by climate change, mountain pine beetle, and white pine blister rust (WPBR), a lethal disease caused by the non-native fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola. In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center, germplasm was...

Antisense down-regulation of 4CL expression alters lignification, tree growth and saccharification potential of field-grown poplar

Creator:: Voelker, Steven L., Lachenbruch, Barbara, Meinzer, Frederick C., Jourdes, Michael, Ki, Chanyoung, Patten, Ann M., Davin, Laurence B., Lewis, Norman G., Tuskan, Gerald A., Gunter, Lee, Decker, Stephen R., Selig, Michael J., Sykes, Robert, Himmel, Michael E., Kitin, Peter, Shevchenko, Olga, and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Transgenic down-regulation of the Pt4CL1 gene family encoding 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) has been reported as a means for reducing lignin content in cell walls and increasing overall growth rates, thereby improving feedstock quality for paper and bioethanol production. Using hybrid poplar (Populus tremula 3 Populus alba), we applied this...

Distributed temperature sensing with neodymium-doped optical fiber

Creator:: Lounsbury, Jimson S.
Abstract:: Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are being studied for use as high efficiency power plants in alternative fuel vehicles. To maintain high efficiency the operating temperatures of the membranes in these fuel cells must be closely monitored and controlled. However, the environment inside of the fuel cell is not...

Functional Analysis of Three Arabidopsis ARGONAUTES Using Slicer-Defective Mutants

Creator:: Carbonell, Alberto, Fahlgren, Noah, Garcia-Ruiz, Hernan, Gilbert, Kerrigan B., Montgomery, Taiowa A., Nguyen, Tammy, Cuperus, Josh T., and Carrington, James C.
Abstract:: In RNA-directed silencing pathways, ternary complexes result from small RNA-guided ARGONAUTE (AGO) associating with target transcripts. Target transcripts are often silenced through direct cleavage (slicing), destabilization through slicer-independent turnover mechanisms, and translational repression. Here, wild-type and active-site defective forms of several Arabidopsis thaliana AGO proteins involved in posttranscriptional silencing were...

Identification of Myosin XI Receptors in Arabidopsis Defines a Distinct Class of Transport Vesicles

Creator:: Peremyslov, Valera V., Morgun, Eva A., Kurth, Elizabeth G., Makarova, Kira S., Koonin, Eugene V., and Dolja, Valerian V.
Abstract:: To characterize the mechanism through which myosin XI-K attaches to its principal endomembrane cargo, a yeast two-hybrid library of Arabidopsis thaliana cDNAs was screened using the myosin cargo binding domain as bait. This screen identified two previously uncharacterized transmembrane proteins (hereinafter myosin binding proteins or MyoB1/2) that share a myosin...

Green Revolution Trees: Semidwarfism Transgenes Modify Gibberellins, Promote Root Growth, Enhance Morphological Diversity, and Reduce Competitiveness in Hybrid Poplar

Creator:: Elias, Ani A., Busov, Victor B., Kosola, Kevin R., Ma, Cathleen, Etherington, Elizabeth, Shevchenko, Olga, Gandhi, Harish, Pearce, David W., Rood, Stewart B., and Strauss, Steven H.
Abstract:: Semidwarfism has been used extensively in row crops and horticulture to promote yield, reduce lodging, and improve harvest index, and it might have similar benefits for trees for short-rotation forestry or energy plantations, reclamation, phytoremediation, or other applications. We studied the effects of the dominant semidwarfism transgenes GA Insensitive (GAI)...

Large-Scale Downy Brome Treatments Alter Plant-Soil Relationships and Promote Perennial Grasses in Salt Desert Shrublands

Creator:: Schantz, Merilynn C., Monaco, Thomas A., Call, Christopher A., and Sheley, R. L.
Abstract:: Because invasive annual grasses can strongly influence soil resource availability and disturbance regimes to favor their own persistence, there is a great need to understand the interrelationships among invasive plant abundance, resource availability, and desirable species prominence. These interrelationships were studied in two salt desert sites where the local abundance...

Interactions between nitrogen, phosphorus, and molybdenum in forest soils and cyanobacterial lichen in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marks, Jade A.
Abstract:: Molybdenum is an essential component of biogeochemical cycling, most notably as a component of the nitrogenase enzyme used in biological nitrogen (N) fixation. While the important role of phosphorus (P) in limiting N fixation in ecosystems has been well documented, occurrence and prevalence of molybdenum (Mo) limitation is largely unknown....

Are Early Summer Wildfires an Opportunity to Revegetate Exotic Annual Grass–Invaded Plant Communities?

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W., Nafus, Aleta M., and Johnson, Dustin D.
Abstract:: Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae [L.] Nevski) is an exotic annual grass invading western rangelands. Successful revegetation of invaded-plant communities can be prohibitively expensive because it often requires iterative applications of integrated control and revegetation treatments. Prescribed burning has been used to control medusahead and prepare seedbeds for revegetation, but burning has...

Abstract:: The Sagebrush Steppe Treatment Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) is an integrated long-term study that evaluates ecological effects of alternative treatments designed to reduce woody fuels and to stimulate the herbaceous understory of sagebrush steppe communities of the Intermountain West. This synopsis summarizes results through 3 yr posttreatment. Woody vegetation reduction by...
