Old Crops in a New World: Bringing Andean Tuber Crops to the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Reers, Michelle
Abstract:: Though currently relatively unknown outside Latin America, Andean root and tuber crops are rapidly gaining interest elsewhere. Tubers are a major food and important sources of nutrition in South America and have potential in countries outside their center of origin. We conducted a two-part study on oca (Oxalis tuberosa), mashua...

Biological considerations for a new approach to regulating genetically modified crops in the United States

Creator:: McDonough, Ashley
Abstract:: The debate over GM crops is one of the most controversial issues of recent decades. The debate has many dimensions, including environmental impacts, benefits and risks to human health, intellectual property rights, adequacy of biosafety regulations, and fundamental ethical acceptability. The potential benefits of GM crops are numerous, including improved...

Ontology-based standardized phenotype and gene annotations from six model/crop species

Creator:: Johnson, Ethan
Abstract:: The data retrieved from gt;momic sequencing techniques provides the raw information required to infer the basis of mutations and their resulting phenotypes, wherein plant ontologies can be utilized in annotating said phenotypes using a common, shared vocabulary. By relating mutant genes of similar phenotypes both within and between plant species,...

Microbes may induce soil water repellency through the production of aliphatic constituents as a response to desiccation

Creator:: Chilcote, Emma T.
Abstract:: Soil water repellency may be influenced by microbes whereby they produce aliphatic constituents (non-wetting materials) that coat the soil particles when they are subjected to desiccation stress.

Tracking the Range Expansion of a Native Bee, the Squash Bee, Eucera (Peponapis) pruinosa; (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Oregon using Community Science

Creator:: Jones, Miranda L.
Abstract:: The foraging distance of bees has been intensely studied. In contrast, little is known about the factors that determine bee dispersal distance, especially on large spatial scales. Eucera (Peponapis) pruinosa is a wild ground nesting bee that exclusively collects pollen from squash in the genus Cucurbita. Although the bee occurs...

Pollen fidelity of Apis mellifera L. during pollination of Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth. ssp. alba, Limnanthaceae

Creator:: Watkins, Ann J.
Abstract:: Limnanthes alba, commonly known as meadowfoam is a popular commercial crop because its seed oil is composed of long carbon chains that provide it with high oxidative stability and consequently make it a desirable ingredient in cosmetic products. As a commercial pollinator, the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, may be...

Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

Creator:: Molotkov, Alexander
Abstract:: The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...

Biocuration of rice (Oryza sativa) transcription factor networks involved in abiotic stress response

Creator:: El-Husseini, Sarah
Abstract:: Rice (Oryza sativa) is a common crop found in various regions worldwide where it is considered a staple food. Though widespread, O. sativa plants' growth, development, and yield are affected by environmental/abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, flooding, cold, heat, etc. Particularly, salinity stress leads to dehydration, overwhelms potassium pumps, and...

Ethical Considerations of Transgenic Biotechnology as a Tool to Address Global Food Insecurity : Implementation and Regulation in Developing Countries

Creator:: Stepper, Shelby Ann
Abstract:: Transgenic biotechnology holds enormous potential as a tool to address global food insecurity. Transgenic food crops have been shown to increase food availability and food system security by incorporating disease, pesticide and drought resistance. Production costs of transgenic crops are lower due to the reduced need for costly pesticides and...

Choose native plants that will help Oregon bee populations thrive in changing urban environments

Creator:: Asselin, Kelley
Abstract:: Bees play a crucial role in pollinating crops, supporting biodiversity, and maintaining ecosystem health. Despite their importance, the decline in bee populations has become a global concern due to various factors including habitat loss, urbanization, and climate change. The purpose of this thesis is to write an article that highlights...
