Breeding and genetics of lilacs and hardy hibiscus

Creator:: Lattier, Jason D.
Abstract:: Lilacs are a group of ornamental trees and shrubs in the Oleaceae family consisting of 22 to 30 species. There are six series within genus Syringa: Pubescentes, Villosae, Ligustrae, Ligustrina, Pinnatifoliae, and Syringa. Fertility and cross-compatibility among cultivars, species, and series have yet to be formally investigated. Over three years,...

Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

Creator:: Celer, Erda
Abstract:: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...

Nutrient Profile and Nursery Feeding Damage of Halyomorpha halys (Hempitera: Pentatomidae)

Creator:: Skillman, Victoria P.
Abstract:: Halyomorpha halys Stål, brown marmorated stink bug or BMSB, is now present in 43 US states. A native of eastern Asia, this pest can feed on ~200 different plant species damaging bark, leaves, buds, stems, and fruits. Many of these plant species include wild plants, ornamentals, and agricultural crops. BMSB...

Physiological, Chemical and Genetic Studies in Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba)

Creator:: Zhang, Jun
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is an oilseed crop with unique chemical characteristics. The ability to identify physiological maturity (PM) and harvest maturity HM of the crop would permit timely harvest of high quality seeds. However, changes of oil contents, fatty acid profile and glucosinolate contents, as well as seed quality during...

Isolation and Pathogenicity of Naturally Occurring Entomopathogenic Fungi to Clover Root Borer (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), a Pest of Red Clover Seed Crops

Creator:: Lestari, Anis S.
Abstract:: Entomopathogenic fungi are cosmopolitan microbial pathogens that cause fungous diseases in a wide range of insects via spore infection. Due to their natural enemy status, they have tremendous potential for use as microbial control agents against insect pests, especially subterranean pests for which few management options are available. The clover...

Creep-feeding to stimulate metabolic imprinting in nursing beef heifers : impacts on heifer growth, reproductive, and physiological parameters

Creator:: De Meireles Reis, Maria
Abstract:: The following experiment presented herein compared growth, physiological, and reproductive responses of beef heifers with (MI) or without (CON) access to a creep-feeder, as a manner to stimulate metabolic imprinting while nursing their dams. On d 0 of the experiment, 60 Angus × Hereford heifers were ranked by initial BW...

Germplasm design, gene discovery, and variety release: breeding barley for the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Graebner, Ryan C.
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three manuscripts addressing separate components of barley breeding, plus an introduction and a conclusion summarizing the status of barley in the Pacific Northwest, plus the implications of the research presented in this thesis. In the first manuscript, a package written for the statistical software "R" that...

The combined effects of vegetation control and seedling size class on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedling productivity on a site in Oregon

Creator:: Lefebvre, Robert F.
Abstract:: Controlling competing vegetation with the application of herbicides and increased seedling size at planting has been shown to increase seedling survival and growth. These two important reforestation tools have often been studied independently of each other, limiting comparisons that can be made between them. This study utilized a factorial treatment...

Assessing the role of reactive metal species in soil organic matter cycling using chemical imaging

Creator:: Keiluweit, Marco
Abstract:: Intimate associations with reactive metal species permanently protect soil organic matter (SOM) from microbial access and oxidation, contributing to the build-up of organic carbon (C) stocks in soils. It is increasingly recognized, however, that such associations can be reversible and that reactive metal species might even facilitate the oxidation of...

Bioherbicide use of plant defensive compounds in meadowfoam seed meal

Creator:: Intanon, Suphannika
Abstract:: Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth) seed meal (MSM), a by-product of meadowfoam oil extraction, has a plant defensive compound known as glucosinolate glucolimnanthin (GLN). Myrosinase enzymes present in soil microbes and meadowfoam seeds can convert GLN to glucosinolate breakdown products (GBPs), which demonstrate herbicidal activity and have the potential...
