Methylisothiocyanate as a wood fumigant : fungitoxicity to Poria carbonica in wood and gelatin encapsulation for use in wood products

Creator:: Zahora, Andrew Roy
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine both the influence of wood moisture content on the fungitoxicity of methylisothiocyanate (MIT) to the wood-decay fungus Poria carbonica, and the ability of gelatin to safely en-capsulate MIT for efficient treatment of wood products. The fungitoxicity of MIT was studied by determining the product of...

Biology of chlamydospores of Phytophthora ramorum

Creator:: Smith, Aaron Lee
Abstract:: The chlamydospore is a survival spore produced by 35 of the 75 described species of Phytophthora. Phytophthora ramorum Werres, de Cock & Man in't Veld, the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), produces abundant chlamydospores in artificial culture and plant tissue. The chlamydospore is likely the most important survival...

Castilleja and Pedicularis are confirmed as telial hosts for white pine blister rust in whitebark pine ecosystems of Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Mulvey, Robin L.
Abstract:: The primary objective of this research was to determine if native species within the genera Castilleja and Pedicularis are naturally infected by white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) in whitebark pine ecosystems of the Oregon and Washington Cascade Range. Secondary objectives were to monitor the phenology of aecial and telial...

Histological examination of Phytophthora ramorum in Notholithocarpus densiflorus bark tissues

Creator:: Botts, Molly M.
Abstract:: Colonization of N. densiflorus tissues by P. ramorum is not well understood. The pathogen is able to colonize nearly all tissues of this host but it is unclear how a tree is ultimately killed. Because this is such a destructive invasive pathogen, it is important to investigate its pathogenic strategy....

Variation of drought resistance and root regeneration among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana)

Creator:: Sharpe, Jodie M.
Abstract:: Drought resistance among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Pan., Cupressaceae) seedlings was evaluated both in the field and in the greenhouse. Field water potentials (Ψ) of 5-year-old seedlings were measured at two high-elevation plantation sites where summer drought occurs. Measurements of Ψ were compared to survival two years...

Propagule sources, disturbance characteristics and the inital establishment of riparian vegetation after debris flows

Creator:: Gecy, Jeanne Leslie
Abstract:: Debris flows are a major cause of disturbance to riparian vegetation. Both observational and experimental studies were used to examine the initial recovery of riparian vegetation after debris flows on headwater streams in the western Cascades of Oregon. My goal was to determine the roles of seedlings and vegetative sprouts,...

Irrigation water and plant density effects on the epidemiology of aerial stem rot of potatoes

Creator:: Cappaert, Marlys R.
Abstract:: Field plots of cv. Russet Burbank potatoes from a single seedlot were established at four sites over two seasons (1985-86) in two locations in Oregon to determine the role of water-borne inoculum of Erwinia carotovora in plant infection. One site at each location was irrigated from a surface-water source and...

Community Ecology of Foliar Fungi and Oomycetes of Pseudotsuga menziesii on the Pacific Northwest Coast

Creator:: Gonen, Lilah
Abstract:: Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (coast Douglas-fir) is a tree of ecological, economic, and cultural value in its native North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) distribution. P. menziesii is host to a variety of well-documented endophytic foliar microorganisms, including the fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss needle cast (SNC), and...

Diversity and Impact of Soft Rot Pathogens of Potato in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Brazil, Jessie A.
Abstract:: Bacterial soft rot of potato (Solanum tuberosum), caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya species, is among the most common and destructive potato diseases in the United States. These pathogens cause a variety of vascular wilts, and in potato cause a disease complex that includes tuber soft rot, blackleg, aerial stem rot,...

The roles of Verticillium dahliae, Colletotrichum atramentarium, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica in "early dying" disease of potatoes

Creator:: Kirkland, Marjorie Lynn
Abstract:: The primary cause of "early dying" disease of potatoes in Oregon is Verticillium dahliae; however, Colletotrichum atramentarium, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc) and E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica (Eca) are also commonly isolated from diseased plants. Therefore, field and greenhouse studies were initiated to determine the relative involvement of each pathogen,...
