Creator:: Osterbauer, Nancy K.
Abstract:: The heritability of resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala, in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) was evaluated in the progeny of seven cultivars crossed in 12 combinations. Progeny produced by crossing 'VR6-28' with three susceptible cultivars segregated 1:1 for complete resistance to eastern filbert blight. Histograms of disease...

Creator:: Keller, Karen E.
Abstract:: Pea seed-borne mosaic potyvirus pathotype 1 (PSbMV-P1) has the ability to infect most genotypes of Pisum sativum. The exception are those genotypes that are homozygous recessive for the sbm-1 gene. The life cycle of PSbMV pathotype 4 (PSbMV-P4) is unaffected by the sbm-1/sbm-1 genotype. Infectious clones of Pl-P4 recombinants were...

Abstract:: Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) is a forest tree native to a small area of Oregon and California. A root disease caused by Phytophthora lateralis causes widespread mortality of Port-Orford-cedar. This dissertation examines three important elements of the Port-Orford-cedar P. lateralis pathosystem related to breeding for disease resistance: use of resistant rootstocks...

Creator:: Knott, Elizabeth A.
Abstract:: Two experiments involving interactions between wheat (Triticum aesitivium L.) cultivars and rust pathogens were investigated. One experiment evaluated the aggressiveness (measured by infection efficiency and latent period) of populations of Puccinia recondita Rob. when inoculated on the cultivar they were isolated from, their "own" cultivar, and when inoculated onto other...

Creator:: DiLeone, Julie A.
Abstract:: This study quantified the frequency of simple versus complex races of Puccinia striiformis Westend. in mixtures of wheat cultivars possessing different race-specific resistance genes. A simple race of a pathogen can infect only one component, and a complex race of the pathogen can infect two or more components of an...

Creator:: Bair, Zolton J.
Abstract:: Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is an iconic North American high-elevation tree species currently threatened by climate change, mountain pine beetle, and white pine blister rust (WPBR), a lethal disease caused by the non-native fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola. In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center, germplasm was...

Creator:: Krenz, Jennifer E.
Abstract:: The specificity of quantitative host resistance to plant disease has long been a controversial issue. We examined interactions between wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Mycosphaerella graminicola, causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, to determine whether specific interactions occur between host and pathogen genotypes that could be involved in eroding quantitatively expressed...
