Carbon Stocks of Tropical Coastal Wetlands within the Karstic Landscape of the Mexican Caribbean

Creator:: Kauffman, J. Boone, Medina, Israel, Gamboa, Julieta N., Torres, Olmo, Caamal, Juan P., Reza, Miriam, Herrera-Silveira, Jorge A., and Adame, Maria Fernanda
Abstract:: Coastal wetlands can have exceptionally large carbon (C) stocks and their protection and restoration would constitute an effective mitigation strategy to climate change. Inclusion of coastal ecosystems in mitigation strategies requires quantification of carbon stocks in order to calculate emissions or sequestration through time. In this study, we quantified the...

De novo synthesis of a sunscreen compound in vertebrates

Creator:: Osborn, Andrew R., Almabruk, Khaled H., Holzwarth, Garrett, Asamizu, Shumpei, LaDu, Jane, Kean, Kelsey M., Karplus, P. Andrew, Tanguay, Robert L., Bakalinsky, Alan T., and Mahmud, Taifo
Abstract:: Ultraviolet-protective compounds, such as mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and related gadusols produced by some bacteria, fungi, algae, and marine invertebrates, are critical for the survival of reef-building corals and other marine organisms exposed to high-solar irradiance. These compounds have also been found in marine fish, where their accumulation is thought...

Structure and Function of Foliar Fungal Communities of Populus trichocarpa Across its Native Range, Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: Barge, Edward G.
Abstract:: Foliar fungi – pathogens, endophytes, epiphytes – form taxonomically diverse communities that affect plant health and productivity. The composition of foliar fungal communities is variable at spatial scales both small (e.g., individual plants) and large (e.g., continents). However, few studies have focused on how environmental factors and host plant traits...

Investigation of novel sources of genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight

Creator:: Lunde, China F.
Abstract:: To identify novel host genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller, ninety European hazelnut {Corylus avellana L.) varieties and interspecific hybrids (with C. americana Marsh, or C. colurna L.) were screened for response to the eastern filbert blight pathogen after inoculation in...

Environmental Remote Sensing with Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Creator:: Burnett, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs) equipped with optical sensors are capableof remotely sensing landscapes and wildlife at spatial and temporal resolutions that werepreviously inaccessible due to technical and budgetary limitations. Conventional remotesensing and photogrammetric workflows can be applied to the resulting high resolution imageryto facilitate new types of scientific inquiry....

Transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing and DNA microarrays

Creator:: Fox, Samuel E.
Abstract:: Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...

Plants and their Environment: Assessing Canopy Microclimate and the Response of Trees to Environmental Stress in a Diversity of Forest Types

Creator:: Sibley, Adam M.
Abstract:: The topics in this dissertation are centered around the way that trees respond to environmental stress in the climates where they occur. Though forests across the planet are expected to experience change in local climate due to historic and ongoing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, the effects of climate change will...

Evaluation of grapevine red blotch virus epidemiology with reference to potential insect vectors

Creator:: Dalton, Daniel T.
Abstract:: Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV), the causal agent of red blotch disease (RBD) in grapevine, Vitis vinifera L., is an emerging pathogen of significance to the wine grape industry of Oregon, USA. To address knowledge gaps of GRBV epidemiology, spread of GRBV was evaluated in Oregon vineyards over four years....

Evolutionary and Biochemical Studies of C₇-cyclitol Synthases and their Sunscreen Gene Clusters

Creator:: Osborn, Andrew
Abstract:: Sugar phosphate cyclases (SPCs) are enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of many important natural products. SPCs form a unique cyclitol during the early steps in the biosynthesis of many natural products. These natural products include rifamycin, which is chemically modified to rifampicin and used clinically as an antituberculosis drug, and...
