Identifying candidate genes associated with cold adaptation in Douglas-fir using DNA microarrays

Creator:: Howe, Dana Kathryn
Abstract:: In forest trees from temperate and boreal regions, cold acclimation is an important adaptive trait that involves changes in gene expression and physiology. Genecological, quantitative genetic, and QTL studies have been used to study the genetics of cold acclimation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), but the genes responsible for...

Biotic soil crusts of Oregon's shrub steppe

Creator:: Ponzetti, Jeanne M.
Abstract:: This research examines the community composition of biotic soil crusts at nine sites in central and eastern Oregon, U.S.A. At each site, data were collected in one pair of livestock-grazed and excluded transects. Variables recorded included: cover of biotic soil crusts and vascular plant species, soil surface pH, electrical conductivity,...

Use of decision tree analysis for predictive soils mapping and implementation on the Malheur County, Oregon initial soil survey

Creator:: Hash, Sarah Jane
Abstract:: Soil surveys provide essential information for making land use and management decisions on publicly-owned lands in the semi-arid Great Basin. Soil maps produced with conventional mapping techniques are time-consuming, costly, and do not explicitly document the soil scientist's mental soil-landscape model. Predictive soils mapping using decision tree analysis (DTA) can...

Disease resistance and spring phenological characteristics of Ribes L. germplasm

Creator:: Dalton, Daniel T.
Abstract:: North American cultivation of Ribes L. may expand as small fruit growers seek species to diversify horticultural crops. The Ribes industry was suppressed for decades out of fear that cultivated black currants and gooseberries would intensify the fungal disease white pine blister rust (WPBR) on five-needle pine (Pinus L. section...

Foreign direct investment and productivity : financial openness thresholds

Creator:: Kabalyk, Maria
Abstract:: The last two decades have witnessed a triumph of free market policies in many developing countries and thus an increase in trade and financial openness. While economic theory provides a solid justification of the fact that trade and financial openness for a small economy with perfectly competitive markets improve resource...

Understanding health behavior influences of undergraduate students during college transition

Creator:: Hart, Kerry A.
Abstract:: As college students transition to life away from their parental home, the need to make independent decisions regarding their eating and exercise behaviors is evident. This life transition may be a critical period for establishment of long term behavior patterns with potential impact on health, disease and weight balance. This...

Physiological ecology of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) rearing in fluctuating salinity environments

Creator:: Hackmann, Crystal R.
Abstract:: Estuaries provide juvenile salmonids with highly productive feeding grounds, refugia from tidal fluctuations and predators, and acclimation areas for smoltification. However, these dynamic, fluctuating salinity environments may also be physiologically stressful to growing juvenile fish. In order to evaluate the costs and benefits of estuarine marshes to juvenile Chinook salmon,...
