Applications in plant breeding : end-use quality, tissue culture propagation systems, and outreach for K-12 education

Creator:: Halstead, Margaret A.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of five chapters: a general introduction, two manuscripts, a collection of published lesson plans, and a general conclusion. The works collected herein are united by the common theme of practical applications in plant breeding. The first manuscript reports a study performed on five malting barley lines grown...

Phylogenetic Estimation and Ancestral State Reconstruction of Rubus (Rosaceae) using Target Capture Sequencing

Creator:: Carter, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Hybridization, polyploidy, and apomixis have made phylogenetic estimation in Rubus challenging. I used target capture to sequence approximately 1000 low copy nuclear loci and the chloroplast genome for 94 accessions representing the genus Rubus and distributed worldwide. Species phylogenies were estimated using two coalescent based methods, ASTRAL-II and SVDQuartets, and...

From germplasm development to variety release : the Oregon State University food barley experience

Creator:: Meints, Brigid M. A.
Abstract:: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the oldest known domesticated crops. Originally cultivated for human consumption, other end-uses have gained importance over the millennia. Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world (FAO-STAT, 2011), and today it is mainly used as animal feed or malted for...

Phenotyping diverse strawberry (Fragaria spp.) germplasm for aid in marker- assisted breeding, and marker-trait association for red stele (Phytophthora fragariae) resistance marker Rpf1

Creator:: Mathey, Megan M.
Abstract:: Strawberry is one of four crops included in the USDA-NIFA Specialty Crop Research Initiative-funded RosBREED project along with apple, peach, and cherry. Phenotyping strawberry for specific horticultural and commercial traits is important to identify associations with genotypic marker(s). This process is the first step in translating genomic knowledge into enhanced...

A conceptual paradigm for the evaluation of recreation resources

Creator:: Stankey, George H.
Abstract:: One of the most serious problems confronting modern America is the efficient and rational utilization of the recreation resource base, not only in terms of present demands and needs, but future as well. The resource manager, in the past, has had few guidelines from which to determine the type and...

FR‐H3 : a new QTL to assist in the development of fall-sown barley with superior low temperature tolerance

Creator:: Fisk, Scott P.
Abstract:: Fall-sown barley will be increasingly important in the era of climate change due to higher yield potential and efficient use of water resources. Resistance/tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses will be critical. Low temperature is an abiotic stress of great importance. Resistance to barley stripe rust (incited by Puccinia striifomis...

Computing Bounded Chains and Surfaces in a Simplicial Complex with Bounded-treewidth 1-skeleton

Creator:: Black, Mitchell
Abstract:: We consider three problems on simplicial complexes: the Optimal Bounded Chain Problem, the Optimal Homologous Chain Problem, and 2-Dim-Bounded-Surface. The Optimal Bounded Chain Problem asks to find the minimum weight d-chain in a simplicial complex K bounded by a given (d−1)-chain, if such a d-chain exists. The Optimal Homologous Chain...

Dormancy and germination of true potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seeds : characterization of endo-β-mannanase genes

Creator:: Monteros, Alvaro R.
Abstract:: True potato (Solanum tuberosum) seed (TPS) is used for preservation of variable genetic lines of wild and cultivated potatoes (Hawkes et al., 2000) and for propagation of food crops in some developing countries. TPS has advantages over seed potato tubers in storage and transportation and favors lower virus infection levels...

Testing the effectiveness of barley stripe rust resistance QTL detected in Mexico and the USA against a possible new race in Peru and mapping of genes conferring resistance to leaf rust and mildew in the same population

Creator:: Rossi, Carlos
Abstract:: Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world because of its broad adaptation, its utility as a feedstock and for human food, and the superior properties of barley malt for brewing. Three of the most important foliar diseases of barley, on a worldwide level are: barley leaf...

Prediction of gene transcription start sites and initiation patterns from DNA sequence content

Creator:: Morton, Taj H.
Abstract:: The computational identification of gene Transcription Start Sites (TSSs) can provide insights into the regulation and function of genes without performing expensive experiments, particularly in organisms with incomplete annotations. High-resolution general-purpose TSS prediction remains a challenging problem, with little recent progress on the identification and differentiation of TSSs which are...
