Breeding an open pollinated broccoli for organic production systems using participatory methods

Creator:: McKenzie, Laurie R.
Abstract:: Organic agriculture is an important and growing sector of U.S. and world food production. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in the production practices and impacts associated with agriculture and as such, are showing a preference for sustainably produced, raised, and harvested foods. In order to continue to meet...

Prostate cancer prevention with broccoli : from cellular to human studies

Creator:: Clarke, John D.
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men. Epidemiologic studies suggest that cruciferous vegetable intake may lower the risk for many cancers, including prostate and colon. Isothiocyanates (ITC) are phytochemicals derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage that may...

Enhancing the predatory potential of hoverflies on aphids in Oregon broccoli fields with floral resources

Creator:: Ambrosino, Mario D.
Abstract:: Four key aspects of the relationship between predatory hoverflies and the aphid pest Brevicoryne brassicae L. on broccoli were investigated in the Willamette Valley, Oregon USA: 1) the relationship between aphid density and hoverfly oviposition, 2) the larval voracity of key hoverfly species, 3) the preferences of hoverflies and broccoli...

Characterizing the Roles of Dietary Sulforaphane in Human Health

Creator:: Atwell, Lauren Lee, 1984-
Abstract:: The consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with several health benefits, including cancer prevention. Many of these benefits are attributed to the phytochemical, sulforaphane (SFN), which is derived from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and broccoli sprouts. These vegetables contain glucoraphanin (GFN), SFN’s precursor, which is converted to SFN by...

Aroma-active compounds in 'Centennial', 'Citra' and 'Nelson Sauvin' hop varieties and their aroma contribution to dry-hopped beer

Creator:: Feng, Shi
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to 1) measure and compare the compositional differences of essential oil among three hop cultivars ('Centennial’, 'Citra' and 'Nelson Sauvin'), 2) identify the odor-active aroma compounds in three varieties of hops and 3) investigate the behavior of hop-derived aroma compounds in beers prepared by...

Nitrogen management and variety selection for dryland production of hard red winter wheat in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Jepsen, Daniel R.
Abstract:: Proper nitrogen (N) management and variety selection are important for profitable hard red winter (HRW) wheat production in the dryland growing regions of northeastern Oregon. In these dryland systems, N management for grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) is challenging due to climatic and year-to-year variation in production environments....

It's in the blood : the varieties of Linus Pauling's work on hemoglobin and sickle cell anemia

Creator:: Gormlet, Melinda (Melinda Brooke)
Abstract:: Linus Pauling incorporated hemoglobin and a disease of the blood, sickle cell anemia, into many of his researches between the mid-1930s and mid-1970s. In the early 1930s Pauling became interested in organic chemistry and named hemoglobin as one of the first biochemical substances that he planned to analyze. In 1935...

Genetic Characterization and Bioclimatic Modeling of the Three Varieties of Leptographium wageneri (Cause of Black Stain Root Disease) in the Western USA

Creator:: Choi, Daram
Abstract:: Black stain root disease (BSRD) is a vascular wilt disease of conifers caused by three varieties of the native, insect-vectored fungal pathogen, Leptographium wageneri (L. wageneri var. wageneri, L. wageneri var. ponderosum, and L. wageneri var. pseudotsugae). Although morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics differ among the three varieties of L....

Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Late Pleistocene and Holocene Human Ecologies: A Case Study of Phytoliths from the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho

Creator:: Knapp, Dante L.
Abstract:: Archaeological excavations of the Cooper's Ferry site in the Lower Salmon River Canyon, Idaho, have revealed a stratified record of cultural occupation, spanning the late Pleistocene and early Holocene periods. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding of cultural adaptive strategies represented in the archaeological record...

Effects of green manures on verticillium wilt of potatoes and on soil properties related to disease suppression

Creator:: Ochiai, Naoyuki
Abstract:: Increasing regulation and costs of soil fumigation to manage diseases such as Verticillium wilt caused by soil-borne pathogens have prompted a search for management alternatives. Single-year microplot experiments were conducted in 2002 and 2003 in central Oregon to evaluate the effects of Austrian winter pea, broccoli, and Sudan grass green...
