The cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae suppresses wheat production in the western United States. A second species of cereal cyst nematode, H. filipjevi, was identified in eastern Oregon during 2008. This paper reports the discovery of H. filipjevi–infested fields in eastern Washington, thereby extending the known distribution of H. filipjevi...
The area devoted to pear production in the United States (U.S.) is declining due to lack of precocity and high
cost of production. The U.S. pear industry currently lacks "modern" orchard systems characterized by compact
trees that produce early, high yields of large, high quality fruit. Tall, shaded canopies are...

Pretreatment of male C57BL/6 mice with low doses of the persistent organochlorine
(OC) pesticide, chlordecone (CD), stimulated biliary excretion of exogenous CH up to 3-fold. Increased biliary excretion occurred without changes in hepatic ATP-binding
cassette transporter G8 (ABCG8) of the bile canaliculus or scavenger receptor class B
type I (SR-BI)...
Effective heat transfer coefficients and mass transfer rates were determined at varying compositions of steam with 1.5% by weight volatile oils entrained in an air flow. The mixture of volatile oils is comprised of 50% menthol, 25% menthone, and other fractions of essential oils. The rate of transient mass transfer,...
This paper was written as a book chapter on the ecology and biology of sage grouse. Because the book was never fully developed, we chose to publish the information with the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station.

Field surveys were conducted by collecting soil samples to estimate
nematode densities in soil from winter wheat, spring wheat, spring
barley, and spring legumes (lentil, chickpea, and pea) fields during
2010 and 2011. Pratylenchus spp. were observed in 60% of sampled
fields. However, nematodes were detected in nearly all of...
