Reproductive isolation and interspecific hybridization in the threatened species, Sidalcea nelsoniana

Creator:: Gisler, Steven D.
Abstract:: In addition to its longstanding recognition as an influential evolutionary process, interspecific hybridization is increasingly regarded as a potential threat to the genetic integrity and survival of rare plant species, manifested through gamete wasting, increased pest and disease pressures, outbreeding depression, competitive exclusion, and genetic assimilation. Alternatively, hybridization has also...

Conservation of Sidalcea nelsoniana through habitat management : effects of burning, mowing, and altered flooding regime on a rare Willamette Valley perennial

Creator:: Bartels, Marilynn R.
Abstract:: Active habitat management plays a key role in the preservation of native ecosystems and rare species, especially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, where natural succession to woodlands threatens the few wetland prairies remaining after 150 years of agriculture and urbanization. Sidalcea nelsoniana, listed as threatened under the federal Endangered...

Potential of Trichoderma sp. for inhibition of Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on snap beans

Creator:: Nelson, Mark E.
Abstract:: Isolates of Trichoderma spp. collected from snap bean foliage were tested for inhibition of grey mold of snap beans caused by Botrytis cinerea. In a detached blossom-pod assay an isolate of Trichoderma hamatum reduced pod rot by 94% compared to the nontreated check. Control was comparable to that obtained with...

Is Resistance Futile: Examining Fitness Costs Associated with QoI Resistance in E. necator

Creator:: Newbold, Chelsea L.
Abstract:: Quinone outside Inhibitor (QOI) fungicides are one of the most widely used fungicide classes (FRAC 11) in the world. This popularity is the result of their ability to effectively manage a wide array of economically important pathogen species on a broad range of crops. While having mostly preventative activity, some...

Conservation of Rorippa columbiae : an evaluation of reintroduction potential through the study of germination ecology, propagation methods, and habitat requirements

Creator:: Kentnesse, Laura E.
Abstract:: Rare plant reintroductions are a critical conservation tool for the augmentation of diminishing populations, or re-establishment of extirpated populations. Analysis of reintroduction failures suggests that a sophisticated understanding of species biology, ecology, and habitat is essential for producing self-sustaining rare plant populations. This study sought to generate that background knowledge...

Conservation of Oenothera wolfii (Onagraceae) : introducing a threatened plant into two protected locations in Oregon

Creator:: Currin, Rebecca E.
Abstract:: The showy biennial to short-lived perennial Oenothera wolfii (Munz) Raven, Dietrich & Stubbe (Wolf’s evening primrose) occurs in only a small number of isolated populations on the southern Oregon and northern California coast. This rare species is currently listed as Threatened in Oregon, and is considered a Species of Concern...

Distribution of Acremonium coenophialum in developing seedlings and inflorescences of Festuca arundinacea

Creator:: Cook, Kathy L.
Abstract:: Acremonium coenophialum is an endophytic fungus which infects the reproductive and vegetative tissue of tall fescue. Interest in this fungus was sparked by research which linked its presence in tall fescue with reduced weight gains and alkaloid-like poisoning in cattle. Incomplete information was available on the endophyte's life or disease...

Genomics-enabled exploration of insect toxicity in the Pseudomonas fluorescens group

Creator:: Rangel, Lorena I.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of Gamma proteobacteria that are ubiquitous in the natural environment, including soil, water, plant surfaces, and animals. The Pseudomonas fluorescens group is a diverse collection of seven subgroups and more than 50 named species. This group is known for their production of a variety of...

Decadal Changes in Lichen and Vegetation Communities in Relation to Metal Deposition and Climate in Northern Alaska

Creator:: Di Meglio, Elisa B.
Abstract:: The Red Dog Mine transports concentrated zinc and lead ore in northwestern Alaska through Cape Krusenstern National monument along a haul road. High metal levels in the moss Hylocomium splendens along the haul road have been attributed to ore dust released during transport. The mine has implemented several pollution abatement...

Environmental Factors Affecting Phytophthora Root Rot of Rhododendron

Creator:: Mestas, Angie
Abstract:: Phytophthora root rot decreases availability and quality of rhododendrons produced in the USA. Symptoms of Phytophthora root rot include root necrosis, leaf chlorosis, stunting, and permanent wilt. The purpose of this thesis was to better understand the impact of root damage, soil moisture, nitrogen fertilizer application, and pathogen species on...
