Biology of chlamydospores of Phytophthora ramorum

Creator:: Smith, Aaron Lee
Abstract:: The chlamydospore is a survival spore produced by 35 of the 75 described species of Phytophthora. Phytophthora ramorum Werres, de Cock & Man in't Veld, the causal agent of Sudden Oak Death (SOD), produces abundant chlamydospores in artificial culture and plant tissue. The chlamydospore is likely the most important survival...

Developing a system of mutagenesis in Francisella tularensis LVS

Creator:: Flax, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative facultative intracellular coccobacillus that primarily infects macrophages. The causative agent of tularemia, this bacterium is considered among the most infectious organisms known, requiring fewer than ten organisms to cause disease. Although ubiquitous in nature, transmission to humans is rare but can occur via insect bites,...

Distribution of Ceratomyxa shasta (Myxozoa) and habitat preference of the polychaete host, Manayunkia speciosa in the Klamath River

Creator:: Stocking, Richard W.
Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta is a myxozoan parasite of salmonids and requires the freshwater polychaete, Manayunkia speciosa to complete its life cycle. The parasite’s distribution is currently limited to the Pacific Northwest region of North America and has been reported to cause substantial losses of both wild and hatchery salmonids. The spatial...

Red light ladies : settlement patterns and material culture on the frontier

Creator:: Simmons-Rogers, Alexandra L.
Abstract:: Red Light Ladies presents a perspective on prostitution in North America, within the context of the western mining frontier. A biographical profile of the frontier prostitutor is presented, along with an archaeological model of settlement patterns and material culture. Settlement patterns and demographic changes in the prostitutor population are hypothetically...

Identification of an aerotaxis transducer in Vibrio cholerae

Creator:: Boin, Markus A.
Abstract:: The ability to move towards favorable environmental conditions, called chemotaxis, is common among motile bacteria. In particular aerotaxis has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli. Three putative aer gene homologs were identified in the V. cholerae genome designated VCAer-1 (VC0512) VCAer-2 (VCA0658), and VCAer-3 (VCA0988). Deletion analyses indicated that only...

Molecular characterization of bacterial populations implicated inthe anaerobic metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids from two different experimental and environmental sources

Creator:: Rattray, Rogan MacKay
Abstract:: There have been many studies that describe the protective degradation or metabolism of potentially harmful plant toxins, such as, mimosine from Leucaena leuconcephala, pyrrolizidine alkaloids from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), oxalate and some mycotoxins by rumen microbes. There are many cases of plant-related toxicoses suffered by ruminant animals where there...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...

Writing against convention : Kate Chopin's short fiction in Vogue, 1893-1900

Creator:: VanKooten, Crystal
Abstract:: Kate Chopin, author of the proto-feminist novel The Awakening, was also a prolific writer of short stories. Nineteen of her stories were originally published in Vogue magazine between 1893 and 1900. This study looks at six of these stories, "The Father of Desiree's Baby," "A Respectable Woman," "The Dream of...

Who's afraid of a little nitrate? : discovering impediments and incentives in following best management practices related to water quality within the southern Willamette Valley groundwater management area

Creator:: Rolston, Irene
Abstract:: Thesis summarizes interviews with growers residing within the Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) in the Southern Willamette Valley of Oregon. Informal and semi-structured interviews were used to identify perceived impediments and incentives perceived by local farmers in following best management practices related to water quality. Results from the interviews were coded...
