The influence of canopy structure and epiphytes on the hydrology of Douglas-fir forests

Creator:: Pypker, Thomas G.
Abstract:: Canopy structure has a significant impact on the canopy hydrology of Douglas-fir forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Whole canopy rainfall interception was measured for young Douglas-fir forest and compared to an old-growth Douglas-fir forest. The old-growth forest had significantly greater canopy water storage capacity (5) and direct throughfall fraction...

Effects of lactofen herbicide on cellular uptake of glyphosate herbicide in malva parviflora L.

Creator:: Wells, Barbara Heard
Abstract:: Time-course growth chamber studies were conducted on little mallow (Malva parviflora L.) to determine whether sublethal doses of lactofen (1'-(carboethoxy)ethyl-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2- nitrobenzoate) would enhance uptake of glyphosate (N'-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) by altering membrane permeability. Lactofen-induced membrane peroxidation was determined by harvesting leaf discs, measuring stress ethylene evolution, and recording increases in...

Sugar uptake, fruit growth and carbon partitioning in the strawberry

Creator:: Forney, Charles F.
Abstract:: Sinks, plant organs which depend on the import of assimilates for growth, play a central role in determining assimilate distribution patterns within the plant. The strawberry fruit is a strong sink for dry matter and its effect on carbon partitioning and assimilation in the plant as well as the mechanism...

Unraveling the endogenous functions of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and characterizing a novel long non-coding RNA (slincR) that contributes to AHR-mediated toxic responses in zebrafish

Creator:: Garcia, Gloria R.
Abstract:: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand activated transcription factor that is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH/PAS) protein family of cellular sensors. The AHR is conserved across multiple animal phyla and is required for proper vertebrate development. A structurally diverse group of chemicals, including polycyclic aromatic...

Cytoskeletal regulation in cell motility and invasion

Creator:: Jang, Hyo Sang
Abstract:: Cell motility and invasion are important for development, immunity, wound healing, and tumor cell metastasis. Cells on two dimensional substrates migrate in three steps: protrusion of the front end, translocation of the cell body, and retraction of the rear end. For cells to migrate efficiently, these steps need to be...

Glyphosate-resistance in Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum): evaluation and investigation of the mechanisms of resistance

Creator:: Perez-Jones, Alejandro
Abstract:: A suspected glyphosate-resistant Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) (OR) population was collected from a filbert (Corylus avellana L.) orchard near Portland, OR. Based on the dose-response experiments conducted in the greenhouse, it was found that the suspected glyphosate-resistant population was approximately fivefold more resistant to glyphosate than the susceptible (S) population....

Spatial and developmental patterns of the vegetation of Black Butte, Oregon

Creator:: Sherman, Robert James
Abstract:: Black Butte presents a unique natural laboratory for ecological study. It is a volcanic cone of uniform configuration located in the rain shadow on the east flank of the Oregon Cascades. Soils are of very recent origin with no obvious development of horizons. Physical and chemical analysis revealed little dissimilarity...

Distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E in fish, shellfish and the marine environment of the Pacific Northwest, and protein patterns of the toxigenic and non-toxigenic stains

Creator:: Craig, James Morrison
Abstract:: Interest in the distribution of Clostridium botulinum type E was heightened by the sudden outbreak of human botulism from smoked whitefish chubs and canned tuna fish in 1963. The question arose as to how widely the organism is distributed among fish and shellfish in the Northwest and what potential hazard...

Apoplastic distribution of atrazine and glyphosate in intact sunflower leaves

Creator:: Jachetta, John Joseph
Abstract:: Apoplastic distribution patterns of atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)- 6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)- glycine], the naturally occurring apoplastic leaf solutes, and the apoplastic dye PTS (trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate) were compared. Aliquots of sap were expressed from intact sunflower leaves in a pressure chamber over intervals of 0.2 to 0.4 bars. Three distinct fractions were detected...
