Incompatibility reactions and nuclear condition of three Phellinus species

Creator:: Hennon, Paul E.
Abstract:: Phellinus arctostaphyli (Long) Niemela, P. igniarius (L. ex Fr.) Quel., and P. tremulae (Bond.) Bond. et Boriss., heartrotting hymenomycetes in the family Hymenochaetaceae (Aphyllophorales), all conform to a multi-allelic heterothallic mating system. Both compatible and incompatible reactions result from pairings of homokaryons from the same basidiocarp. Homokaryons isolated from different...

Conservation genetics of Kincaid's lupine : a threatened plant of western Oregon and southwest Washington grasslands

Creator:: Severns, Paul M.
Abstract:: Kincaid's lupine (Lupinus oreganus Heller) is a federally listed threatened species native to remnant grassland of western Oregon and southwestern Washington, and is the primary larval host plant of a once thought extinct butterfly, Plebejus icarioides fenderi Macy. Past studies concerning Kincaid's lupine reproduction suggested that populations may suffer reductions...

The effects of defoliation on Bromus tectorum seed production and growth

Creator:: Mayer, Kara Hempy
Abstract:: Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is a widespread exotic weed in the Intermountain sagebrush steppe. An annual grass, it is highly prolific and very competitive with native perennial grass seedlings. A clipping experiment carried out at two cheatgrass-dominated sites (Lincoln Bench and Succor Creek) in eastern Oregon analyzed effects of defoliation...

Seed and seedling ecology of Artemisia tridentata in a restoration context

Creator:: Wijayratne, Upekala C.
Abstract:: The semi-arid sagebrush steppe ecosystem is one of the largest biomes in North America. The steppe provides critical habitat and forage for wildlife and is economically important to recreation and livestock industries. However, the ecosystem is threatened primarily due to several negative effects associated with expansion of the exotic annual...

Fungal and bacterial associations in heart rots of Abies concolor (Gord. and Glend.) Lindl. and techniques for estimating damage in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Aho, Paul E.
Abstract:: Infection courts for microorganisms invading white fir heartwood were determined to be primarily branches and basal wounds. Of 11 hymenomycetes isolated from infected trees, only four: Echinodontiurn tinctorium, Phellinus chrysoloma, Pholiota adiposa, and Hericium abietis were of major significance in terms of frequency of infection and damage caused. Two or...

Enhancement of biological control for postharvest diseases of pear

Creator:: Benbow, Jesse M.
Abstract:: Yeast biocontrol agents that were applied to 'Bose' and 'Anjou' pears in the field up to three weeks prior to harvest were found to survive on the fruit at high population levels on both pear varieties. Cryptococcus infirmo-miniatus, Cryptococcus laurentii, and Rhodotorula glutinis maintained populations averaging 5 x 10⁶ cfu/fruit...

Establishment of Poria carbonica in wood and colonization by basidiomycetes of Douglas-fir utility poles during air seasoning

Creator:: Przybylowicz, Paul
Abstract:: Influence of temperature and wood moisture content on spore germination and colonization of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga jnenziesii) heartwood by Poria carbonica basidiospores and chlamydospores was studied. Both spore types germinated and colonized wood at moisture contents above the fiber saturation point, but not below. Germination and wood colonization occurred at 22°C...
