Development of a Bioluminescent Sensor of Isothiocyanates through Genetic Modification of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Validation on Crude Plant Materials

Creator:: Hogaboam, Octavia L.
Abstract:: Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are produced by roots in a variety of agricultural plants, such as those within the Brassicaceae family. ITCs act as fumigants, and are used to control microbial plant pathogens by adding brassica-origin seed meal to soil prior to replanting. However, there is suggestion that the presence of residual...

Phenotyping Ornamental Plants: Case Studies in Fruit Quality Attributes from Vaccinium ovatum and Disease Resistance of Cotoneaster spp.

Creator:: Neill, Kristin E.
Abstract:: Landscape plants are highly diverse and nursery producers often grow thousands of taxa to satisfy the varied needs and aesthetic tastes of consumers. Related to this diversity, ornamental plant breeders must be nimble and diverse in their approach. Two seemingly disparate studies were conducted to investigate improving ornamental shrubs –...

Evaluating Alternative Soil Amendments for Organic Northern Highbush Blueberry Cultivation in Sub-Optimal Soils

Creator:: Retano, Andrea
Abstract:: Escalating demand for organic blueberries has driven a significant expansion of northern highbush blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production area. This expansion is particularly pronounced in regions of the Pacific Northwest where native soil conditions are sub-optimal for NHB, notably east of the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington,...

Using the Microbial Tree of Life to Describe Mammalian Health and Disease

Creator:: Arnold, Holly Kristin
Abstract:: The past decade of research has potentiated a revolution in our understanding of mammalian health and evolution by revealing that the gut microbiome plays a central role in mammalian physiology. Our ability to unlock this potential hinges upon the identification of specific groups of gut microbes that elicit effects on...

Suppression of Microdochium Patch on Annual Bluegrass Putting Greens using Iron Sulfate, Phosphorous Acid, Sulfur, and Mineral Oil

Creator:: Mattox, Clint M.
Abstract:: Managing Microdochium patch on intensively manicured annual bluegrass putting greens is a challenge for turfgrass professionals in cool-humid climates similar to the Pacific Northwest. Fungicides are the predominant means to mitigate damage caused by this fungal pathogen, however pesticide restrictions are making it even more challenging to suppress Microdochium patch....

Comparing Sediment Microbial Communities of Arctic Beaver Ponds to Tundra Lakes and Streams

Creator:: Shannon, Kelly
Abstract:: In recent decades the habitat of North American beaver (Castor canadensis) has expanded from boreal forests into pan-Arctic tundra ecosystems. It is unknown how the advance of beavers into Arctic watersheds will impact microbial communities responsible for the mineralization of organic matter (OM), which has implications for carbon cycling. To...

A Preliminary Methodology For Automating Functional Modeling

Creator:: Edmonds, Katherine N.
Abstract:: This thesis is the combination of two research publications working towards automating functional modeling. Functional modeling is an underutilized yet critical tool for concept generation and product design. Understanding the difficulty both novice and expert designers have in implementing functional modeling in their design process, this research sets out to...

A Corpus Linguistic Analysis of Self-compassion and Postpartum Self-help Literature

Creator:: Watkins, Danielle L.
Abstract:: The self-help literature is full of texts on both self-compassion and postpartum depression. However, there has been minimal scientific exploration of the literature on these topics. As such, mental health researchers and practitioners have little sense of the psycholinguistic discourse contained in this literature. This study aimed to fill this...

Demystifying the Sensationalism of Human Trafficking: an Anthropological Study on the Systemic Exploitation of Migrant Labor in Tuscany, Italy

Creator:: Marconi, Veronica
Abstract:: In the last twenty years, human trafficking has gained attention in government agendas and media coverage, while anti-trafficking projects have burgeoned worldwide. Anti-trafficking efforts, however, have almost exclusively addressed the issue of sex trafficking with a focus on rescuing women, while overlooking other types of exploitation. This is noteworthy, given...

Estimating Lime Requirement for Oregon Soils with Non-Hazardous Soil Test Methods

Creator:: Makepeace, Carl A.
Abstract:: Various soil tests are routinely used in the United States to predict soil lime requirement. New non-hazardous methods have recently been proposed for adoption in Oregon, however the accuracy of these methods for Oregon soils has not been established. The objectives of this investigation were: (a) to document and describe...
