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...

The use of flowering crab apples for the detection of latent viruses in apples

Creator:: Reynolds, James Edward
Abstract:: Recent investigations indicate that several latent viruses of apples exist in common commercial apple stocks, but these viruses and their relationships are incompletely understood. This thesis describes investigations of crab apples as indicators of latent viruses of apples. Eighty-eight varieties and species of crab apples were tested as indicators of...

The genus Anthracobia Boudier (Pezizales, Ascomycetes)

Creator:: Larsen, Harold J.
Abstract:: A taxonomic revision of the genus Anthracobia Boudier is presented. The genus and eight included taxa are described and figured. A discussion of the taxonomic criteria used to delimit the genus and the species is included, and a key to the recognized taxa is given. Four imperfect states for included...

Factors affecting development of iris rhizome rot caused by Botrytis convoluta Whetzel and Drayton

Creator:: Maas, J. L.
Abstract:: Abundant conidial and sclerotial production occurs on iris plants infected with Botrytis convoluta Whetzel and Drayton during the cool moist months of the year. Experiments were designed to study the survival and inoculum potential of conidia and sclerotia. Basic nutritional requirements of the fungus in culture were also studied. Results...

Origin and distribution of polyploid Achillea (Compositae) in western North America

Creator:: Tyrl, Ronald J.
Abstract:: A cytogeographical study was made of populations of tetraploid (n=18) and hexaploid (n=27) Achillea millefolium (Compositae- Anthemideae) from the Pacific Coast states. There is a complex distributional pattern, involving overlapping ranges, mixed populations, migration of one form into areas occuplied by the other, pentaploid hybrids, and septaploid and octoploid plants....

Effect of resident epiphytic fungi development of brown rot blossom blight of stone fruits

Creator:: Wittig, Hans P. P.
Abstract:: Antagonistic effects of Epicoccum purpurascens, Aureobasidium pullulans, Trichoderma spp., and Botrytis cinerea on establishment of Monilinia fructicola infections in cherry and peach blossoms were assessed in field and mist chamber studies. Conidia of each fungus were applied to blossoms that were subsequently inoculated with conidia of M fructicola. Mist chamber...

Soil water pressure and Verticillium dahliae interactions on potato

Creator:: Gaudreault, Suzanne M.
Abstract:: A greenhouse experiment was conducted in 1991 and in 1992 to determine the effect of soil water pressure on potato (cv Russet Burbank) plant growth and infection by Verticillium dahliae. Soil water pressures of -0.01, -0.03, -0.08, or -0.15 MPa were combined factorially with two inoculum concentrations, 0 or 10...

Modification of phyllosphere environments to enhance establishment of Gliocladium roseum, an antagonist of Botrytis cinerea

Creator:: Bennett, Robert J. (Robert Joe), 1953-
Abstract:: Radial colony growth of three isolates of Gliocladium roseum and three isolates of Bottytis cinerea were measured on 1/4 strength potato dextrose agar amended with concentrations of NaHCO₃ ranging from 0-2% (w/v). Compared to the control, reductions in colony diameter of the B. cinerea isolates ranged from 60-79% and 73-89%...

Physiology of senescence of the shoot apex in Pisum sativum L.

Creator:: Ecklund, Paul Richard, 1941-
Abstract:: Shoot apex senescence is defined as the collective progressive and deteriorative processes which ultimately terminate the functional life of the shoot apex. Senescence of shoot apices of Pisum sativum L. 'Alaska' as measured by cessation of stem elongation was delayed by removal of flowers and by treatment with gibberellin A₃...

Yosemite region nitrogen deposition and patterns in the composition of lichen communities

Creator:: Hutten, Martin
Abstract:: This dissertation describes patterns in epiphytic macrolichen community composition along a nitrogen deposition gradient in the Yosemite region of the Sierra Nevada in California. This region is part of the largest federal air quality Class 1 designated air-shed in the western United States, covering the entire crest of the Sierra...
