Ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae)

Creator:: Campanella, Donald M.
Abstract:: A study consisting of three parts was undertaken to investigate how variation in species interactions, population genetic structure, epidemiological parameters, and plant breeding system may influence the ecology and biological control of an apomictic invasive plant, Chondrilla juncea (Asteraceae). Interactions between natural enemy species may modify their net effect on...

Cytokinin oxidase activity from Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Great Northern callus tissues

Creator:: Chatfield, J. Mark
Abstract:: Cytokinin oxidase activity in callus tissues of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Great Northern has been examined using an assay based on the oxidation of radioactively labeled N⁶ -(Δ² -isopentenyl) adenine (i⁶Ade) to adenine (Ade). Conditions for the quantitative extraction and assay of the enzyme have been established. The substrate specificity...

Contracting nucleolar vacuoles in somatic tobacco cells growing in microcultures

Creator:: Johnson, John Morris
Abstract:: Contracting nucleolar vacuoles are a general and consistent feature of somatic tobacco cells growing in microcultures. Nucleolar vacuoles were studied in cells from callus tissues of two single-cell clones, H-196 and H-239, of hybrid tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum X N. glutinosa). Vacuoles periodically contracted either completely or incompletely, apparently releasing a...

The Role of Plant-soil Feedback in the Invasion of Brachypodium sylvaticum in Douglas-fir Forests

Creator:: Esterson, Andrew
Abstract:: Invasive plants have the capacity to transform landscapes and alter ecosystem function, causing significant economic and ecological damage. These effects include displacement and reduction of native flora and fauna, altered fire regimes, modification of biotic and abiotic soil properties, as well as local, regional, and global economic impacts. With such...

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...

Fungi associated with Douglas-fir seed during cone development, seed processing, and storage

Creator:: Gordon, Lewin Roland
Abstract:: The Pacific Coast form of Douglas-fir in natural forest succession is an intermediate species thriving in the Coast Range and Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest. This species constitutes 26 percent of the standing timber in the United States, and 24 percent of the nation's annual timber harvest. Characteristics of...

Systematics of the genus Otidea in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Peterson, Eric T.
Abstract:: The fungal ascomycete genus Otidea as represented in the Pacific Northwest of North America includes eight well known species and two poorly-known species. Cladistic analysis utilizing characters from ribosomal DNA and morphology allowed the development of a robust phylogenetic species concept for Otidea. The combination of characters from the ribosomal...

Effects of intercropping beans with maize on angular leaf spot and rust of beans

Creator:: Boudreau, Mark Alan, 1958-
Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine the nature of maize influence on bean disease in additive-type intercrops. Overall effects of intercrops on angular leaf spot (caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola) in Kenya indicated >23% reductions (P<0.05) in area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) in two of three season-site combinations. Fertilization tended...

A two-component regulatory system controlling antibiotic production by Pseudomonas flourescens Pf-5

Creator:: Corbell, Nathan
Abstract:: Tn5 mutagenesis of apdA (for antibiotic production) and deletion of gacA (for global antibiotic and cyanide) resulted in the same pleiotropic phenotype in Pseudomonas fluorescens (i.e. production of an array of secondary metabolites including the antibiotics pyrrolnitrin, pyoluteorin, and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol as well as a tryptophan-side-chain oxidase, hydrogen cyanide, and an...
