Microbial changes and interactions in the rhizosphere of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal plants

Creator:: Meyer, Julie (Julie Rae)
Abstract:: The influence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) on populations of general taxonomic and functional groups of naturally-occurring rhizosphere bacteria and actinomycetes associated with roots of sweet corn (Zea mays var. rugosa) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) was assayed using selective media. Sporangial production by Phytophthora cinnamomi was also used as...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: establishment of the VA mycorrhizal association will influence the microbiology of the rhizosphere. Studies on

Microbial analysis of coniferous forest and nursery soils : effects of ectomycorrhizae, volatiles, and humic-rich organic substrates

Creator:: Schisler, David Albert
Abstract:: Fusarium spp. frequent conifer nursery soils yet are rarely recovered from coniferous forest soils. Experiments were performed to determine what influence humic-rich organic amendments and volatiles from soil, ectomycorrhizal fungi and ectomycorrhizae have on the populations of several physiologic and taxonomic microbial groups potentially related to this phenomenon. A comparative...

Influence of a sudangrass green manure on microorganisms and early dying of potatoes in two soils

Creator:: Parks, Robin L.
Abstract:: Effect of a sudangrass green manure in two soil types on the activity, populations and community structure of soil microorganisms, populations of Verticillium dahliae in soil and on potato roots, and potato early dying, were evaluated in a field microplot experiment in the Columbia Basin. Potato cv. Russet Burbank was...

Pathogenicity of Phytophthora species from Oregon waterways

Creator:: Navarro, Sarah M.
Abstract:: Described as one of the most destructive pathogens of agricultural crops and forest trees, Phytophthora is a genus of microorganisms containing over 100 known species. Phytophthora alni has caused collar and root disease in alders throughout Europe and a form of the species has recently been isolated in North America....

Water deficit stress effects on bacterial ring rot of potato caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus

Creator:: Crabtree, Kristine L.
Abstract:: Population size of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus in potato cv Russet Burbank and plant response as affected by drought were assessed in a greenhouse experiment. Water deficit stress and no stress treatments, and inoculum densities of 0 or 2 X 10⁷ cfu C. m. sepedonicus/seed piece were arranged factorially. Stem...

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...

Characterization of fungal and bacterial communities associated with mat-forming ectomycorrhizal fungi from old-growth stands in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Hesse, Cedar N.
Abstract:: Mat-forming ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi represent a prevalent constituent of many temperate forest ecosystems and create dramatic changes in soil structure and chemistry. EcM mat soil have been shown to have increased microbial respiration rates and have been hypothesized to harbor unique assemblages of fungi and bacteria. The objectives of this...

Differential Effects of First Year Wheat Genotype on the Suppression of Take-All Disease and the Establishment of Suppressive Microbial Agents in the Rhizosphere

Creator:: Perkins, Evan M.
Abstract:: Recent research in the UK has found that the wheat cultivar grown in the first year can have a significant impact on the amount of take-all that develops in the second year, regardless of the cultivar planted in year two. ‘Einstein’ is one such cultivar that reduces take-all disease (reduced...

Evaluation of the colonization and biofilm production by Burkholderia pyroccinia FP62 on geranium leaves

Creator:: Wallace, Patricia K.
Abstract:: The leaf surface is a stark environment for bacterial colonists with limited availability of nutrients, water and protected niches. Despite these limitations, a plethora of bacteria appear to have adapted ways to survive and flourish on leaf surfaces. One mechanism of survival is the formation of biofilms. Biofilms are a...

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,...
