Microsatellite Marker Development, Characterization and Mapping in European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), and Investigation of Novel Sources of Eastern Filbert Blight Resistance in Corylus

Creator:: Bhattarai, Gehendra
Abstract:: European hazelnut, an important nut crop in Oregon agriculture, is threatened by the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The hazelnut breeding program at OSU has been working on development of EFB-resistant cultivars. DNA markers allow mapping of traits using segregating progenies and...

Mitigating Microplastics : Development and Evaluation of a Middle School Curriculum

Creator:: Kowalski, Marie
Abstract:: Microplastics, plastic marine debris less than 5 mm in size, is a threat to the health of our oceans. One important way to reduce microplastics in our oceans is to educate people about the issue, particularly future decision-makers. In this study, a middle school curriculum was developed using current scientific...

Mapping Ecotourism Learning : Using Concept Maps to Evaluate Visitor Learning During an Informal Boat-based Sea Life Viewing Program

Creator:: Rollins, Elizabeth W.
Abstract:: Tourism is an ever-growing economic force across the world, the United States, Oregon, and on the Oregon Coast. In Oregon alone, the tourism industry had an economic impact in the state of $7.9 billion in 2006, up from $6.9 billion in 2004 (OTC, 2007). Though economically beneficial, tourism can be...

DNA markers linked to novel sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight in European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)

Creator:: Sathuvalli, Vidyasagar R.
Abstract:: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for ‘Gasaway’ resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of...

Silviculture Impacts and Population Genomics of Coniferiporia sulphurascens, the Causal Agent of Laminated Root Rot

Creator:: McMurtrey, Shawn
Abstract:: Within the Pacific Northwest, USA, root diseases of conifers are a major forest health concern. These diseases are primarily caused by basidiomycete fungi. These fungal associates play a vital role in carbon sequestration but also have a significant negative economic impact within the timber industry. As a result, research on...
