Forms of Life: Goethe’s Impact on Twentieth-Century Anglophone Botany and Morphology

Creator:: Hahn, Andre M.
Abstract:: This dissertation examines the impact of the German naturalist and literary figure Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s ideas on twentieth century Anglophone plant morphology and biology. Goethe interpreted the organ forms of flowering plants as metamorphoses of each other. His literary, historical, and philosophical writings suggest themes of alienation from and...

Development of an adventitious shoot regeneration system in cherries

Creator:: Meneghelli, Luigi P.
Abstract:: Shoot regeneration in vitro is a difficult problem for cherry species. This study addressed three approaches to the problem, regeneration of adventitious shoots from roots and leaves of mature cherry clones, and from cotyledons of open-pollinated 'Royal Ann' cotyledons. Regeneration on roots occurred at a very low frequency. Adventitious shoots...

Common insect and mite galls of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Larew, Hiram, 1953- and Capizzi, Joseph
Abstract:: Anyone with an interest in plants or insects, anyone who cares for a lawn, grows a crop, or enjoys an outdoor walk sooner or later will notice galls. The purpose of this booklet is to provide brief answers to some of the common questions that people ask about galls and...

An investigation of the influence of root reinforcements on soil strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils

Creator:: Smith, Russell S.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to investigate the influence of root reinforcements on soil strength and the initiation of static liquefaction in forest soils. The design and operation was developed of an apparatus capable of modeling rainfall-induced shallow hill-slope failures that also permitted observation of the soil volume change tendencies at...

Rogue pod traits in Phaseolus vulgaris

Creator:: Al-Bader, Noor
Abstract:: Snap beans are the vegetable form of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with low fiber, stringless and round, succulent pods that are eaten in the immature stage. Seed companies commit significant resources to maintaining purity and uniformity of snap bean cultivars. While some variability may be introduced through outcrossing (beans...

Acetylene Inhibition of Azotobacter vinelandii Hydrogenase: Acetylene Binds Tightly to the Large Subunit

Creator:: Sun, Jin-Hua, Hyman, Michael R., and Arp, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Acetylene is a slow-binding inhibitor of the Ni- and Fe-containing dimeric hydrogenase isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii. Acetylene was released from hydrogenase during the recovery from inhibition. This indicates that no transformation of acetylene to another compound occurred as a result of the interaction with hydrogenase. However, the release of C2H2...

Fungal diversity within decomposing woody conifer roots in Oregon

Creator:: Vandegrift, V. Eleanor
Abstract:: Previous studies have indicated that roots from five tree species (Picea sitchensis, Tsuga heterophylla, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Pinus ponderosa, and Pinus contorta) decompose at different rates across an environmental gradient in Oregon. Measurements of wood chemistry from each tree species as well as moisture and temperature from each location do not...

Phylogenetics and genomic patterns of speciation in Pinus with an empahsis on subgenus Strobus

Creator:: Syring, John V.
Abstract:: Data from nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (nrITS) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) have failed to resolve phylogenetic relationships in Pinus. To provide greater interspecific resolution, five low-copy nuclear genes were developed from mapped conifer anchor loci. Four genes were sequenced from species representing all Pinus subsections. Individual loci do...

Ascospore viability and dispersal from pruned branches infected with Anisogramma anomala

Creator:: Heckert, Stephanie
Abstract:: Viability and dispersal of ascospores of Anisogramma anomala, the cause of eastern filbert blight (EFB) on European hazelnut, from diseased branches pruned from trees were measured. In each of two years, branches bearing stromata of A. anomala were cut in mid-December and compared to branches cut near budbreak in March,...
