  • DNA fingerprinting and genome mapping in meadowfoam

    Creator:
    Katengam, Sureeporn
    Abstract:
    Marker information in the new oilseed crop, meadowfoam, is limited. Molecular markers to facilitate meadowfoam breeding and cultivar improvement are not available. The knowledge of genetic relationships among recent germplasm is not known. The objectives of this study were (i) to gain an understanding of genetic diversity and relationship patterns...

  • Genomic Resource Development for European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

    Creator:
    Rowley, Erik R.
    Abstract:
    European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an important crop Oregon's Willamette Valley, producing 99% of the hazelnuts grown in North America and brings over US $60 million dollars to the region annually. Hazelnuts are rich in fiber and vitamins, as well in demand by consumers due to their popularity as...

  • Identification of quantitative trait loci underlying kernel extra-softness and related traits by linkage and association mapping in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

    Creator:
    Wang, Guomei
    Abstract:
    Kernel hardness (KHA) is a major factor determining break flour yield (BFY) and end-use quality of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Within the soft wheat class, genotypes with consistently softer grains than common soft wheat are considered to be 'extra-soft'. In addition, 'extra-soft' wheats have greater BFY than common soft...

  • Comparative Genomics of Freshwater Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria and Associated Organisms

    Creator:
    Driscoll, Connor B.
    Abstract:
    The advent of improved DNA sequencing technologies has allowed the analysis of various microbial communities. Bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacteria can produce toxins and taste-and-odor compounds that can negatively affect drinking water supplies. Here, I have employed second- and third-generation sequencing technologies to characterize bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterial genomes and their associated heterotrophic...

  • The genetics of winterhardiness in barley : perspectives from genome-wide association mapping

    Creator:
    von Zitzewitz, Jarislav
    Abstract:
    Fall-planted barley makes the best use of available precipitation in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This growth habit is also suitable to many other areas of the world. A prerequisite for production in most of these areas is tolerance of low temperature during the vegetative growth stages. Fall-planted...

  • Development and application of genomic DNA based methods for the identification and characterization of marine bacterioplankton

    Creator:
    Lanoil, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    A series of experiments was performed to determine the feasibility of genomic DNA-based methods for ecological and physiological studies of dominant bacteria from complex natural systems. Two approaches, bacterial chromosomal painting (BCP) and environmental genomics (EG), were evaluated for the potential to identify and enumerate specific bacterial groups in situ...

  • 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...

  • Simple sequence repeat marker development and use in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

    Creator:
    Gürcan, Kahraman
    Abstract:
    New highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). were developed from several sources. The markers were characterized, and segregation in a mapping population allowed to assign them to linkage groups. Their transferability across genera and species in the Betulaceae family was investigated. SSR markers...

  • Transcriptomic Analyses of Crop Plants using Next-Generation Sequencing Technology

    Creator:
    Geniza, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in molecular biology and computer science have enabled researchers the ability to investigate the transcriptome – the quantification of an organism’s RNA transcripts in response to its environment on a system wide scale. The collective chapters of this thesis utilize high-throughput RNA sequencing, which produces hundreds of millions of...

  • Comparative Transcriptomics in Stress-Induced Rice

    Creator:
    Al-Bader, Noor M.
    Abstract:
    Rice is an important crop that feeds almost half the world population. As climate change models predict floods, drought and extreme temperatures in rice production areas, the need to better understand the genetic basis of adaptation and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses is vital to sustain our food supply....
