Genome scale transcriptome analysis and development of reporter systems for studying shoot organogenesis in poplar

Creator:: Bao, Yanghuan
Abstract:: Vegetative propagation allows the amplification of selected genotypes for research, breeding, and commercial planting. However, efficient in vitro regeneration and genetic transformation remains a major obstacle to research and commercial application in many plant species. Our aims are to improve knowledge of gene regulatory circuits important to meristem organization, and...

An emerging role for the exocyst : plant morphogenesis

Creator:: Cole, Rex A.
Abstract:: Plants develop a vast array of cell shapes and sizes by selectively modifying their surrounding cell walls to expand in some regions and not in others. This process of morphogenesis requires the delivery of secretory vesicles to specific locations at the cell periphery, where exocytosis adds new membrane and proteins...

Serpentine and non-serpentine edaphic ecology and the recovery of Lomatium cookii (Apiaceae), an endangered endemic of southwest Oregon

Creator:: Silvernail, Ian S.
Abstract:: The role of unusual geologies in plant distribution and form is well-known. Serpentine (ultramafic) soils exert a particularly strong influence on plants, as evidenced by a high level of endemism and the morphological and physiological traits displayed in adaptation to the extraordinary chemistry of these substrates. Adaptation may lead to...

Evaluation of the FDA derived intervention levels and exposure rate of 0.4 µR/hrusing NARAC Web Atmosphere and Diffusion Modeling System

Creator:: Hay, Tristan Ryan
Abstract:: The Oregon Department of Energy has set up recommendations for agricultural crop and non-crop embargo zones following an accidental or purposeful radioactive release. Of special interest are the FDA’s Derived Intervention Levels (DIL) and the state’s exposure limit of 0.4µR/hr. At the Oregon State University Emergency Response Research and Support...

The effects of site preparation on native forb establishment in a wet prairie, Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Norman, Katherine N.
Abstract:: Wetlands and wet prairies are economically and environmentally valuable ecosystems, but many have been degraded or converted to other uses. As human understanding of wetlands' value has increased, restoration efforts have grown correspondingly. Restoration attempts use a diversity of methods, which often include seeding with native plant species. This thesis...

Floodplain vegetation following over 80 years of intensive land use and de-watering : Lower Owens River, California

Creator:: Risso, Derek A.
Abstract:: Riparian areas in the arid western United States are critical ecosystems that have been severely degraded by a variety of land and water uses over the last 100 years. In this study, the composition and structure of floodplain vegetation along the Lower Owens River in eastern California was quantitatively described...

Comparison between lichen, conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling devices (PASDs), and snow to monitor semi-volatile organic compounds (SOCs) in the atmosphere

Creator:: Schrlau, Jill E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to compare four different media that were used to monitor SOC atmospheric concentrations in remote ecosystems. The accumulation of semi-volatile organic compounds, including pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), was investigated in lichen, 2-year old conifer needles, resin-based passive air sampling...

Meadow classification in the Willamette National Forest and conifer encroachment patterns in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, Western Cascade Range, Oregon

Creator:: Dailey, Michele Meadows
Abstract:: This study delineates and characterizes the distribution of montane meadows in the Willamette National Forest, identifies encroachment patterns in relation to topographic features and proximity to trees in the Chucksney-Grasshopper meadow complex, and examines tree species and age distributions in relation to distance from forest edges or isolated tree clusters...

Terrestrial lichen and bryophyte communities of the Blue Mountains in Northeast Oregon

Creator:: Hardman, Amanda
Abstract:: Although terrestrial lichens and bryophytes are common in upland plant communities of the Blue Mountains in northeast Oregon, research on cryptogam communities in this region is wanting. Studies have shown that lichens and bryophytes can reduce soil erosion and increase soil fertility in other semiarid habitats of North America. Understanding...

Glutenin macropolymer in salted and alkaline noodles and its relation with dough properties and cooked noodle texture

Creator:: Ong, Yee-Ling
Abstract:: Glutenin protein molecules can form a large "macropolymer" which forms the elastic component of the gluten complex in wheat flour doughs. Little work has been done to investigate relationships between glutenin macropolymer (GMP) and noodle processing. GMP was isolated from flour of 4 wheat varieties; 3 hard- and 1 soft-grained...
