  • Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

    Creator:
    Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...

  • Alternative splicing in the obligate biotrophic oomycete pathogen, Pseudoperonospora cubensis

    Creator:
    Cumbie, Jason S.
    Abstract:
    Oomycetes are some of the most devastating pathogens, causing upwards of billions of dollars of damage each year to plants. They also diminish ecological diversity and health through the destruction of trees and shrubs. The genome sequence of Pseudoperonospora cubensis, an obligate plant pathogen and causative agent of downy mildew...

  • Port-Orford-cedar and Phytophthora lateralis : grafting and heritability of resistance in the host, and variation in the pathogen

    Creator:
    McWilliams, Michael G.
    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...

  • Optimizing the primary forest products supply chain : a multi-objective heuristic approach

    Creator:
    Hamann, Jeff D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is a collection of four submitted manuscripts that present methods to assist forest ecosystem service managers wanting to develop operational sampling, monitoring, and production plans for a set of specific quantifiable ecosystem services, which are formulated as a series of general multi-objective optimization problems. The problems are solved...

  • Genetics of sexuality and population genetics of Phellinus weirii

    Creator:
    Angwin, Peter A.
    Abstract:
    Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson, cause of laminated root and butt rot, is a heterothallic basidiomycete lacking clamp connections. Two biological species groups of the fungus have been hypothesized, the Douglas-fir and cedar-types, on the basis of physiological, morphological and epidemiological differences. Single-spore and vegetative isolates differ in cultural morphology, nuclear...
