Candidate Genes Associated with Blister Rust Resistance in Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) Revealed through de novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Creator:: Bair, Zolton J.
Abstract:: Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is an iconic North American high-elevation tree species currently threatened by climate change, mountain pine beetle, and white pine blister rust (WPBR), a lethal disease caused by the non-native fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola. In collaboration with the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center, germplasm was...

Breeding, Production, and Morphophysiology Among Cytotypes of Common and Portuguese Cherrylaurel

Creator:: Schulze, Justin A.
Abstract:: The common cherrylaurel (Prunus laurocerasus) and Portuguese cherrylaurel (P. lusitanica) are economically important landscape shrubs across the United States. To gain a better understanding of physiology and morphology in these higher level polyploids (P. lusitanica, 2n = 8x; P. laurocerasus, 2n =22x), a variety of breeding experiments were performed. The...

Investigations of Black Leg and Light Leaf Spot on Brassicaceae Hosts in Oregon

Creator:: Claassen, Briana J.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest is an internationally important region for the production of Brassica seed and other seed crops including grass seed. Oregon lawmakers mandated research into the co-existence of canola (Brassica napus) with other Brassica production in the Willamette Valley and House Bill 2427 was signed into law in 2013,...

Seasonal occurrence and abundance of insect pests and natural enemies in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Klein, Matthew L.
Abstract:: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth largest food crop in the world following rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum spp.), and maize (Zea mays subs. mays). Potatoes arrived in the United States in the early 1600s and over the following centuries, the crop was subsequently cultivated across the country...

The Primary Disease Gradient of Wheat Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) Across Spatial Scales

Creator:: Farber, Daniel
Abstract:: Wheat stripe rust (WSR), also called yellow rust of wheat (Tricitum spp.), causal agent Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a foliar disease of major economic importance on wheat, especially grown in temperate locations. WSR causes major losses of wheat yield, estimated at nearly $ 1 billion per year, and...

Investigating the Genetic Control of Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Snap Beans

Creator:: Huster, Abigail R.
Abstract:: Root rot diseases are a major constraint to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production around the world. Both snap beans and dry beans are affected. Root rot diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens; however, Fusarium solani is a common causal agent. Fusarium root rot is a primary yield...

Phenology, Host-Plant Resistance, and Biological Control of Stephanitis pyrioides in Oregon

Creator:: Flores, Salvador M.
Abstract:: The azalea lace bug (Stephanitis pyrioides Scott) is a recently detected invasive pest to the Pacific Northwest and has become a major concern in Oregon. It feeds on azaleas as well as rhododendrons causing stippling on the top side of leaves. The damage is aesthetically displeasing and affects plant vigor...

The Effects of Seed Source and Planting Environment on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) Foliage Diseases

Creator:: Wilhelmi, Nicholas
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a commercially and ecologically important tree species native to western North America. The foliar pathogens Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss Needle Cast, and Rhabdocline species, the causal agents of Rhabdocline needle cast, are two important pathogens specific to Douglas-fir. These pathogens are highly influenced...

Overstory Structure and Community Characteristics of Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia) Forests of the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Prive, Sean
Abstract:: As species of ash trees become increasingly threatened worldwide by exotic pests and pathogens, it is important to develop descriptions of their ecologies that help guide the conservation and restoration of forests in which they are a major component. Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) is a dominant tree species in wetland...

Improving Best Management Practices for Potato Production in the Columbia Basin : An Evaluation of Essential Oils for Control of Verticillium Wilt and the Fate of Chloride in the System

Creator:: Light, Sarah Elizabeth
Abstract:: Although the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a global crop, few growing regions rival the high yields of the Columbia Basin of Eastern Oregon and Washington. Two research projects were conducted in Hermiston, OR to contribute to best management practices for the region. The first project evaluated the efficacy of...
