Salal in old growth forests : The significance of gaps in understory carbon balancewith and examination of the link between climate change and rural livelihoods in developing countries : an opportunity for Latin America

Creator:: Mayfield, Joyce Bybee
Abstract:: Gaps in the forest canopy allow more light to reach the understory. Since light in the understory is heterogeneous, understanding the physiological processes in gaps and non-gaps will improve estimates of carbon balance. This research outlines an approach for defining carbon balance for Salal (Gaultheria shallon Pursh.), a dominant understory...

Analysis of boscalid resistance of isolates of Botrytis cinerea

Creator:: Villanueva, Brenda
Abstract:: Succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) inhibitor fungicides, such as boscalid, are effective for the management of gray mold caused by the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Unfortunately, resistance to boscalid was common among isolates of the pathogen from small fruits grown in Oregon. Boscalid-resistance is commonly associated with mutations in Sdh, especially in...

The Disinformation Dozen and Media Misinformation on Science and Vaccinations

Creator:: Mabrey, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: The COVID-19 pandemic has shed a light on the need for people to trust in medical science. With the need for 70% of Americans to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity but 30% have reported vaccine hesitancy, now more than ever do we need to redouble our efforts to ensure...

Healthcare for the Houseless; How Lack of Health Equity Disproportionately Shortens the Life Expectancy of the Unhoused

Creator:: Newman, Sophia R.
Abstract:: The national average life expectancy for houseless individuals in the United States is forty seven years, which is thirty years lower than the overall average. I argue that this disproportionately short life expectancy of the houseless is reflective of significant health inequities in the United States that disproportionately impact the...

Characterization of the Plasmids of the Pathogenic Plant Bacterium Erwinia amylovora in Washington and Oregon

Creator:: Carey, Alyssa B.
Abstract:: Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes the destructive disease fire blight of apple and pear. We examined the plasmid content of a collection of 305 isolates of E. amylovora from Washington and Oregon with PCR assays and RFLP. Nearly all isolates of E. amylovora carried plasmid pEA29,...

Aiding Plants and Humans by Targeting Virulence Strategies: Investigation of key protein residues involved in toxoflavin production

Creator:: Justen, Savannah F.
Abstract:: Toxoflavin, a toxic secondary metabolite produced by a variety of bacteria, has been implicated as a causative agent in food poisoning and a virulence factor in phytopathogenic bacteria. This toxin is produced by the tox operon in Burkholderia glumae, in which the encoded protein, ToxD, was previously characterized as essential...

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Levels Are Reduced by Age, But Do Not Correlate With Pregnancy In Timed-Mated Rhesus Monkey Females (Macaca mulatta)

Creator:: Roth, Maggie
Abstract:: Infertility is an issue affecting millions of women across the globe, yet the causes are not fully understood, and treatment options are often ineffective. The evaluation of reproductive hormones has been a common tool used by fertility clinics as a way to predict the ovarian response to treatment and gain...

Contribution of native plasmids to fitness of Pantoea vagans C9-1, a biological control agent for fire blight of apple and pear

Creator:: Klein, Jeannie M.
Abstract:: Pantoea vagans C9-1 (C9-1) is a biological control agent sprayed onto apple and pear trees during bloom for suppression of fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. Prior bioinformatics studies of C9-1 focused on predicted phenotypes associated with the three native megaplasmids, pPag1, pPag2, and pPag3, and...

Moral Disagreement and Moral Genealogy : Two Sources of Empirically-Based Epistemological Challenges to Robust Realism

Creator:: Pho, Alexander
Abstract:: I defend robust realism from arguments that raise epistemological challenges to it based on considerations about either moral disagreement or the genealogy of our moral beliefs. The first argument is the “Argument from Conciliationism,” which contends that the moral disagreements that obtain between moral peers give us reason to believe...
