Breeding an open pollinated broccoli for organic production systems using participatory methods

Creator:: McKenzie, Laurie R.
Abstract:: Organic agriculture is an important and growing sector of U.S. and world food production. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in the production practices and impacts associated with agriculture and as such, are showing a preference for sustainably produced, raised, and harvested foods. In order to continue to meet...

Investigation of postharvest quality and storability of hardy kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta 'Ananasnaya')

Creator:: Landis Fisk, Connie
Abstract:: The objectives of this project were to determine the effects of harvest maturity, packaging, and storage conditions on subsequent fruit quality of Actinidia arguta ‘Ananasnaya’ and to investigate the use of edible coatings to improve fruit quality and storage life. The influences of harvest maturity (6.0, 8.7, 9.1, and 15.1%...

Characterization of an architectural mutant of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.)

Creator:: Guner, Nihat
Abstract:: Genetic and morphological characteristics of an architectural mutant in common beans were studied. The mutant had shiny, dark green leaves, overlapping leaflets, short petioles and a reproductive terminal bud even though the line did not carry the fin gene. Branching was nearly absent resulting in a single stem vine. This...

Water use of cool season grasses and their effect on grapevine (Vitis vinifera) growth and development

Creator:: Doty, Jean A.
Abstract:: The use of grass cover crops is a recommended practice in nonirrigated vineyards in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Two studies were initiated to investigate the competitive and noncompetitive effects of grass cover crops on the growth and development of Pinot noir grapevines. Two greenhouse pot culture experiments were performed to...

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Quantification and Application of Key Traits

Creator:: Park, Hayley E.
Abstract:: Improving crop cultivars for use on organic farms is pertinent, as current elite germplasm is less resilient within the more variable context of organic farm environments. Although a growing number of studies have focused on organic plant breeding in cereal crops, very few have focused on vegetable crops, especially those...

Evaluation of grapevine red blotch virus epidemiology with reference to potential insect vectors

Creator:: Dalton, Daniel T.
Abstract:: Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV), the causal agent of red blotch disease (RBD) in grapevine, Vitis vinifera L., is an emerging pathogen of significance to the wine grape industry of Oregon, USA. To address knowledge gaps of GRBV epidemiology, spread of GRBV was evaluated in Oregon vineyards over four years....

Breeding Snap Beans for Organic Agriculture: Genomic Shifts under Different Agricultural Management Systems

Creator:: King, Ryan M.
Abstract:: Although the concept of breeding crops for organic agricultural systems has been around for decades, few studies have been reported for vegetable crops to quantify and compare how conventional and organic systems differ in their selection pressures on genotypes advancing through the breeding cycle; especially research utilizing modern sequencing capabilities....

Characterization and Cultivar Susceptibility Assessment of Bacterial Blight in Hazelnut Caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina

Creator:: Webber, John B., III
Abstract:: Bacterial blight (Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina) (Xac) of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) was described first in Oregon in 1915 and is now recognized as a damaging disease of young hazelnut trees worldwide. Stressed hazelnut trees in conditions such as planting on marginal sites, and trees between 1 and 4-years-old are...
