Distribution and Ecological roles of arthropods in dead woody materials of ponderosa pine forests, northern California

Creator:

Lemieux, Jeffrey P.

Abstract:

This dissertation describes arthropod responses to and effects on decay processes in ponderosa pine, a dominant forest canopy tree in northern California. We used both descriptive and experimental field techniques to establish how arthropod assemblages depend on and are important to the disintegration of woody structures in forests of this...

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...

Studies on the etiology and epidemiology of bull's eye rot of pears

Creator:

Henriquez, Jose Luis, 1961-

Abstract:

The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...

Management of powder-post beetles, Dinoderus minutus F. in freshly cut bamboo

Creator:

Garcia, Carlos Manalo

Abstract:

The goal of this project was to develop an integrated pest management strategy for the control of a powder-post beetle (Dinoderus minutus F.). This species causes serious damage in Philippine bamboo. Developmental threshold and thermal constants were examined and natural enemies and ftmgi associated with beetles were investigated. Finally, the...

Plant hormone-induced defense responses against Botrytis cinerea

Creator:

Akagi, Aya

Abstract:

Several plant hormones, including ethylene and jasmonates, are known to mediate responses against biotic and abiotic stress. The first and second objectives of this thesis were (i) to elucidate the role of ethylene in defense responses against Botrytis cinerea and specifically (ii) to determine the potential contribution of ethylene response...

Biology of sweet cherry powdery mildew

Creator:

Calabro, Jill M.

Abstract:

The Pacific Northwest has become one of the nation’s premier sweet cherry, Prunus avium, production areas. As production of sweet cherries has flourished in Oregon and Washington, so has powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Podosphaera clandestina, which infects both foliage and fruit causing severe economic damage to growers. Sweet...

Breeding for bruchid resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) : interspecific introgression of lectin-like seed proteins from tepary bean (P. acutifolius A. Gray), genetic control and bruchid resistance characterization.

Creator:

Kusolwa, Paul Mbogo

Abstract:

Interspecific hybridization was initiated between wild P. acutifolius accession G40199 and P. vulgaris to introgress resistance to Acanthoscelides obtectus (bean seed weevil). F1 interspecific hybrids were recovered by embryo rescue and maintained until flowering. Mostly sterile hybrids were backcrossed twice to common bean cultivar ICA Pijao to recover sufficient fertility...

Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) management using wheat (Triticum aestivum) as a false host

Creator:

Al-thahabi, Salam A.

Abstract:

Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is an obligate, chlorophyll-lacking parasite that parasitizes red clover (Trifolium pratense) roots. This study was conducted to develop and implement an integrated, biologically based control program for small broomrape by using wheat as a false host to reduce the soil seed bank. The relationship between temperature...

Phenotypic response and quantitative trait loci for resistance to Cephalosporium gramineum in winter wheat

Creator:

Quincke, Martin C.

Abstract:

Cephalosporium stripe (Cephalosporium gramineum) is an important disease limiting adoption of conservation tillage practices in the Pacific Northwest. The disease can cause severe loss of grain yield and quality in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Modified cultural practices can reduce disease incidence, but are not always dependable because of variation...

Cultural controls for suppressing Phytophthora cinnamomi root rot of blueberry

Creator:

Yeo, John R.

Abstract:

Phytophthora cinnamomi is a soilborne pathogen that causes root rot disease of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). When new installations of susceptible blueberry cultivars are infected with P. cinnamomi, plants often fail to grow significant new tissue, greatly reducing yields over the life of the planting. Chemical fungicides are available...
