Identifying breeder-friendly INDELs that co-seggregate with SNPs associated with QTL for resistance to Fusarium solani root rot in snap bean (Phaselous vulgaris)

Creator:: Schmidt, Joseph A.
Abstract:: Fusarium solani is a chronic disease that causes root rot which affects bean production worldwide. Recently, a QTL map was generated which identified several SNPs which were found to be associated with resistance to the pathogen. To be useful in a breeding program, INDELs must be identified which co-seggregate with...

The Effect of Intracellular Zinc Concentration on Immune Activation and Proinflammatory Response in THP-1 Monocytes

Creator:: Rinaldi, Nicole A.
Abstract:: Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for many cellular functions, including the development and function of the immune system. The biological consequences of zinc deficiency illustrate the significance of zinc in human health. Zinc deficiency has been shown to cause the dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses, as...

Is Advection Important? An Examination of the Advective Dynamics of Sensible Heat and Their Influence onSubcanopy Carbon Fluxes in Heterogeneous Terrain

Creator:: Carrigg, Sean Stephen
Abstract:: Abstract Understanding small-scale bio-atmospheric interactions is becoming increasingly important as the global climate continues to change at breakneck speed. A theoretical model of the sensible heat budget of a forest is developed combining conservation equations and concepts from fluid dynamics. Budget components are computationally evaluated using micrometeorological data taken during...

Genetic Analyses of Root System Development in the Tomato Crop Model

Creator:: Hoth, Kelsey
Abstract:: Four root mutants, diageotropica (dgt), and altered root architecture (ara) 1, 2, and 3, were used to study root architecture and better understand the process by which root architecture is determined. Adventitious root formation, tissue response to auxin, nutritional response, and starch accumulation in the leaves were tested in ara...

Carbon Footprint Calculations for Oregon State University and Guadalupe, Cerro Punta, Panama

Creator:: Melendez-Rivera, Kimberly
Abstract:: Greenhouse gases effects are a leading contributor to climate change; reducing harmful effects of these gases is important for future generations. Worldwide, household consumption makes up seventy-two percent of greenhouse gas emissions, followed by government consumption at ten percent, and investments at eighteen percent (Hertwich, 2009). In order to understand...

Detecting ZnS Thin Films on Si Substrates using X-Ray Diffraction

Creator:: Howorth, Benjamin
Abstract:: The goal of this research is to determine whether x-ray diffraction (XRD) is a viable method for resolving ZnS thin films on Si substrates. The samples are ZnS thin films of thickness between 50nm and 100nm, on Si substrates that are 0.5mm thick. ZnS and Si have nearly identical lattice...

We bleed orange, green, & blue: rapid microwave synthesis of advanced pigments

Creator:: Young, Casey W., Rachdi, Omar, Muir, Sean, and Subramanian, Mas A.
Abstract:: This work prepared YInMnO3, YCuTiO3, and YInFeO3 solid state pigments via microwave synthesis. The microwave-prepared pigments contain optical and structural properties similar to their furnace homologues. Overall synthesis times for each pigment have been significantly reduced via microwave synthesis, while keeping the same relative phase purity as solid-state.

The role of the actin cytoskeleton in plant/pathogen interactions

Creator:: Pena, Meesha and Chang, Jeff
Abstract:: As part of an HHMI funded research project, I showed that overexpression (OE) of actin (ACT2) in Arabidopsis thaliana alters the expression of genes involved in plant immunity. Others have previously shown that knockout (KO) mutants of actin depolymerizing factor 4 are affected in the same gene as ACT2-OE. For...

Site and Light: Looking at factors that affect the growth rate of Saccharina sessilis

Creator:: Beem, Kristin, Meltvedt, Ariana, and Carsh, Alexander
Abstract:: Saccharina sessilis, lettuce kelp, is a macroalgae that contributes to the primary production in the intertidal zone off of the Oregon Coast. Macroalgae can serve as a bioindicator of increased nutrient input, water quality, and shifts in the intertidal environment. Competition for light exists between macroalgae species and with other...

Visual discrimination and memory of Enteroctopus dofleini, the Giant Pacific Octopus

Creator:: Boyle, Virinda R.
Abstract:: This study evaluated the memory and visual discrimination capabilities of Enteroctopus dofleini, the Giant Pacific Octopus. Octopuses have been known to have advance sensory capabilities and through this study we challenged our specimen to remember and actively choose a specific patterned jar based on a visual pattern and positive reinforcement....
