Systematic and reproductive studies of Mimulus (Scrophulariaceae) in the Pacific Northwest : implications for conservation biology

Creator:: Meinke, Robert James
Abstract:: The Mimulus washingtonensis complex is a group of morphologically similar species centered in the Pacific Northwest. All are rare, and most are under consideration for listing as endangered. Morphometric and pollination data were used in developing a revised taxonomy for the group. Five species and two varieties are recognized. Mimulus...

Developing models to predict favorable environments for rice blast

Creator:: Calvero, Silvino B.
Abstract:: Statistical analyses were used to develop predictive models of rice blast and to relate the favorability of environment to disease incidence and severity on different rice cultivars at five sites in Asia. The WINDOW PANE program was used to search for weather factors highly correlated with blast. Stepwise and r-square...

Postemergence herbicides and take-all disease in winter wheat : alterations in the incidence and severity of disease and crop growth

Creator:: Geddens, Ray M.
Abstract:: Eight postemergence herbicides were evaluated to determine their influence on the incidence and severity of take-all disease caused by the fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici in winter wheat. Mecoprop ((+)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid), difenzoquat (1,2- dimethyl- 3,5- diphenyl -1H- pyrazolium), dinoseb amine (amine salt of 2-(1-methylpropy1)-4,6-dinitrophenol), and diclofopmethyl (methyl ester of (+)-2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)...

Cytotaxonomic studies in the Artemisia ludoviciana polyploid complex of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Estes, James R.
Abstract:: The Artemisia ludoviciana polyploid complex is a highly polymorphic assembledge of eight taxa in the Pacific Northwest, with a chromosome base number of x=9. A cytogenetic analysis of this complex was carried out to determine the sources of its variation, the types of polyploidy present, and the genetic processes active...

Insights into the pathology and epidemiology of Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of sudden oak death

Creator:: Daniels, Hazel A.
Abstract:: Sudden oak death is caused by the clonally reproducing generalist oomycete Phytophthora ramorum. The pathogen can infect more than 130 different plant hosts including Quercus spp., Larix kaempferi, and Notholithocarpus densiflorus, as well as common nursery genera such as Rhododendron and Camelia, where it causes symptoms ranging from bleeding cankers...

TonB-dependent outer-membrane proteins of Pseudomonas fluorescens : diverse and redundant roles in iron acquisition

Creator:: Hartney, Sierra L.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of Gram-negative bacteria that includes pathogens of plants, insects, and humans as well as environmental strains with no known pathogenicity. Pseudomonas fluorescens itself encompasses a heterologous group of bacteria that are prevalent in soil and on foliar and root surfaces of plants. Some strains of...

Permineralized Mesozoic Moss Gametophytes and their Implications for Bryophyte Evolution

Creator:: Bippus, Alexander C.
Abstract:: Mosses (Phylum Bryophyta) are widely considered to be among the most ancient groups of land plants (embryophytes) and they are the second most speciose embryophyte phylum with ~13,000 extant species. Despite their diversity and antiquity, mosses have a limited fossil record, which primarily consists of gametophytes entombed in Cenozoic amber....

Community Ecology of Foliar Fungi and Oomycetes of Pseudotsuga menziesii on the Pacific Northwest Coast

Creator:: Gonen, Lilah
Abstract:: Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii (coast Douglas-fir) is a tree of ecological, economic, and cultural value in its native North American Pacific Northwest (PNW) distribution. P. menziesii is host to a variety of well-documented endophytic foliar microorganisms, including the fungus Nothophaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss needle cast (SNC), and...

New Tools for Managing Erysiphe necator: Rapid Sampling Approaches and an Exploration of Grower Opinions and Perspectives towards Collective Action and Information Transfer

Creator:: Lowder, Sarah R.
Abstract:: The scale of pest and disease dispersal is often larger than the scale of individual farms. Therefore, an individual grower’s response to pests and diseases can affect and is affected by their surrounding growing region. Individual growers are also not isolated, and engage in various forms of information gathering, sharing,...

Distribution and prediction of Swiss needle cast of Douglas-fir in coastal Oregon

Creator:: Rosso, Pablo H.
Abstract:: This study was directed to improve our understanding of the ecology of Swiss needle cast (SNC) of Douglas-fir, a disease that produces extensive damage to forests and plantation in the coastal region of Oregon and Washington. A disease prediction model for the coastal area of Oregon was built by establishing...
