Candidate Genes Associated with Blister Rust Resistance in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) Revealed through de novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Analysis

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...

The construction and computational modeling of a fiber Bragg grating tunable laser diode

Creator:: Winz, Michele W.
Abstract:: The widespread adoption of wavelength division multiplexing to increase the bandwidth of optical fiber communication systems has provided a major impetus for research on low cost, single-mode, wavelength stable tunable diode lasers for use in optical telecommunications due to the large volume of lasers required. Other applications, such as demodulation...

Investigating Protein-lipid-membrane Interactions in Plant Cells using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation

Creator:: Tao, Kai
Abstract:: The overall focus of this thesis is on the distribution of specific lipids and membrane proteins of the external and internal membranes of plant cells, in the context of the roles that those lipids and proteins may play in microbe-plant interactions. The work includes the development of several new tools,...

The link between nitrogen cycling and soil microbial community composition in forest soils of western Oregon

Creator:: Boyle, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: The objectives of this thesis were to examine the links between soil microbial community composition and function using the nitrogen (N) cycle as a model for these interactions and to assess the impact of environmental factors such as microclimate, vegetation type, and nutrient availability on microbial diversity and N transformations...

Understory herb and shrub responses to root trenching, pre-commercial thinning, and canopy closure in Douglas-fir forest of the western Cascades, Oregon

Creator:: Lindh, Briana C.
Abstract:: This thesis examines factors limiting understory herb presence and flowering in young second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon, USA. I studied the belowground effects of canopy trees on understory herbs and shrubs in old-growth forests using trenched plots from which tree roots...

A G-type Lectin Receptor-like Kinase Associated with Septoria Canker Resistance and Susceptibility Described using Multi-omics and Biotechnology

Creator:: Lenz, Ryan R.
Abstract:: Managers of forest and plantation ecosystems are encountering growing problems involving plant pathogens and the expanding geographic ranges of these pathogens. Historically unexposed stands are exceptionally vulnerable when a non-native pathogen is introduced because these pathogens can cause devastating disease in a host population that lacks co-evolved resistance mechanisms. One...

A microscopic and phenological study of pollen development and bloom in selected cultivars of hazelnut (Corylus avellana)

Creator:: Tiyayon, Chantalak
Abstract:: Pollen development is an important process in male flower development, the timing of which may be correlated with time of pollen shed in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). Early to very late blooming cultivars were identified and the relationship of microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis, and time of pollen shed were studied in...

Responses and relationships among Fusarium species, sweet corn, and western spotted cucumber beetles

Creator:: Miller, Nathan L. (Nathan Louis)
Abstract:: Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) yields in the Willamette Valley of Oregon have been declining since the early 1990’s. Studies were done to determine if there is a relationship between ear weight and several disease parameters including necrotic crowns or stalk nodes, nodal root rot, radicle root rot, and sub-crown...

Seed Development in Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) in Relation to Plant Growth Regulators and Spring Nitrogen

Creator:: Morad, Mohammed M.
Abstract:: Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important seed crop, but unlike other cool-season perennial grass seed crops such as perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.], seed yields have not increased over time so there is considerable room for improvement. Research suggests that plant growth...

Characterizing early-seral competitive mechanisms influencing Douglas-fir seedling growth, vegetation community development, and physiology of selected weedy plant species

Creator:: Dinger, Eric J.
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted to characterize and present early-seral competition between Douglas-fir seedlings and the surrounding vegetation communities during Pacific Northwest forest establishment. The first experiment served as the foundation for this dissertation and was designed to quantify tradeoffs associated with delaying forest establishment activities by introducing a fallow year...
