The Role of Ascorbic Acid, β-Cyclodextrins, and Alternative Substrates in Dictating Rates of Polyphenol Oxidase-Catalyzed Browning in Potato-Based Reaction Mixtures

Creator:: Jiang, Shu
Abstract:: Enzymatic browning is a consequence of a series of reactions initiated by polyphenol oxidase (PPO)-catalyzed quinone formation. Unwanted browning negatively affects food quality and lowers consumer acceptability. Thus, there is general interest in strategies to control enzymatic browning. Cyclodextrins are cyclic glucan oligosaccharides that form inclusion complexes with a number...

Physical and physiological seed characteristics influencing wheat stand establishment

Creator:: Ahmad, Shahbaz
Abstract:: Rate of emergence is an important character for stand establishment. Ability of wheat seeds to germinate and emerge rapidly under different climatic conditions may be regulated by physical and/or physiological characteristics. Seeds of 26 wheat varieties representing five classes were produced in two different environments (Moro and Corvallis, OR). Seed...

Limitations to Seedling Regeneration on Tropical Forest Restoration Plantations in Northern Thailand

Creator:: Sangsupan, Hathai A.
Abstract:: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We explored whether recruitment of colonizing tree species in the restoration plantations can be attributed to seed dispersal mode (i.e. abiotic or animal dispersal) and seed size. We did this...

Public perceptions of sagebrush ecosystem management : a longitudinal panel study of residents in the Great Basin, 2006-2010

Creator:: Gordon, Ryan Patrick
Abstract:: Intact sagebrush communities in the Great Basin are rapidly disappearing due to invasion of non-native plants, large wildfires, and encroachment of pinyon pine and juniper woodlands. Land management options include the use of prescribed fire, grazing, herbicides and mechanical treatments to reduce the potential for wildfire and restore plant communities....

Seed and seedling ecology of Artemisia tridentata in a restoration context

Creator:: Wijayratne, Upekala C.
Abstract:: The semi-arid sagebrush steppe ecosystem is one of the largest biomes in North America. The steppe provides critical habitat and forage for wildlife and is economically important to recreation and livestock industries. However, the ecosystem is threatened primarily due to several negative effects associated with expansion of the exotic annual...

Exploratory Studies Within the Exotic Lyonsite Structure

Creator:: Tang, Joseph N.
Abstract:: Structure-property relationships have always underpinned the field of solid state chemistry; dependable structural descriptions are integral to understanding and controlling the physical properties of inorganic compounds old and new. While a handful of crystal structures are celebrated for their versatility, flexibility, and functionality, the existence of more exotic structures is...

Invasive Pacific Lionfish Alters Native Community Interactions on Atlantic Coral Reefs

Creator:: Kindinger, Tye L.
Abstract:: Biological invasions have been identified as one of the prominent drivers of global environmental change. In particular, invasive predators typically have substantial negative effects on populations of native prey, even driving species to extinction in extreme cases. However, beyond direct predatory effects, little is understood regarding the specific mechanisms by...

Continuous monitoring and modeling to assess pesticide exposure in critical habitat for Pacific salmonids

Creator:: Janney, Philip K.
Abstract:: Pacific Northwest and California freshwater resources are key elements in the life history and ecology of Pacific salmon and steelhead listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Risk to listed Pacific salmonid species can be assessed by evaluating the spatial and temporal co-occurrence of salmonid species at...

Trophic cascades and large mammals in the Yellowstone ecosystem

Creator:: Painter, Luke E.
Abstract:: Reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park (YNP) in 1995-96 provided a rare opportunity to observe the response of an ecosystem to the return of a top predator, including possible reversal of decades of decline of aspen, cottonwood, and tall willows suppressed by intensive herbivory on elk winter ranges. To...
