A G-type Lectin Receptor-like Kinase Associated with Septoria Canker Resistance and Susceptibility Described using Multi-omics and Biotechnology

Creator:: Lenz, Ryan R.
Abstract:: Managers of forest and plantation ecosystems are encountering growing problems involving plant pathogens and the expanding geographic ranges of these pathogens. Historically unexposed stands are exceptionally vulnerable when a non-native pathogen is introduced because these pathogens can cause devastating disease in a host population that lacks co-evolved resistance mechanisms. One...

Identification and Occurrence of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) Virus and Virus-Like Diseases in Various Regions and Orchards of Oregon

Creator:: Reinhold, Lauri A.
Abstract:: There are over 35 known virus and virus-like diseases of sweet cherry (Prunus avium), some with potential to cause severe economic impact by reducing vegetative growth, vigor, and/or quality of fruit. Oregon is the second-ranked state for sweet cherry production in the United States with 13,000 acres and $70.8 million...

Diagnosis and Etiology of a Soilborne Disease Complex of Winter Squash (Cucurbita maxima) in the Willamette Valley, OR

Creator:: Rivedal, Hannah M.
Abstract:: Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima) grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed, frozen foods, and fresh markets is susceptible to an undiagnosed soilborne disease. Diseased squash fields exhibit symptoms of stunting, root and crown rot, vascular discoloration, and late-season wilt, which in extreme cases can lead to total crop failure....

Tree Physiological, Physical, and Chemical Characteristics Related to Spruce Beetle Colonization: Engelmann versus Blue Spruce

Creator:: Ott, Daniel S.
Abstract:: Blue spruce (Picea pungens) and Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) experience varying levels of spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby)) colonization, yet the underlying differences and mechanisms resulting in lower colonization for blue spruce are not known. Both spruce species have important roles in subalpine ecosystems where examining changes in mortality, distribution,...

Forms of Life: Goethe’s Impact on Twentieth-Century Anglophone Botany and Morphology

Creator:: Hahn, Andre M.
Abstract:: This dissertation examines the impact of the German naturalist and literary figure Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s ideas on twentieth century Anglophone plant morphology and biology. Goethe interpreted the organ forms of flowering plants as metamorphoses of each other. His literary, historical, and philosophical writings suggest themes of alienation from and...

Secreted Agrobacterium rhizogenes Effector Protein GALLS Interacts with Arabidopsis Host Proteins and Stimulates Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation

Creator:: Wei, Wei
Abstract:: Agrobacterium species transform plant cells by targeting a portion of plasmid-encoded bacterial DNA to the host nucleus. Genetic transformation by A. tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes requires secreted effector proteins. The tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid from virulent A. tumefaciens encodes VirE2, a secreted single-stranded DNA-binding protein required for efficient transformation of hosts....

Investigating Protein-lipid-membrane Interactions in Plant Cells using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation

Creator:: Tao, Kai
Abstract:: The overall focus of this thesis is on the distribution of specific lipids and membrane proteins of the external and internal membranes of plant cells, in the context of the roles that those lipids and proteins may play in microbe-plant interactions. The work includes the development of several new tools,...

Breeding qualitative and quantitative traits for potatoes in the Columbia Basin

Creator:: Graebner, Ryan C.
Abstract:: The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the world’s most important staple crops, ranked fourth after maize, rice, and wheat. While the potato’s success is due largely to its high yield, it also benefits from its broad global acceptance, and its ability to be used by the consumer...

Phylogenetic Studies in Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) and Related Families

Creator:: Kanda, Kojun
Abstract:: In this dissertation, I present the results from three studies: (1) a phylogeny of Tenebrionoidea (Coleoptera) inferred from a seven-gene dataset derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (2) a phylogeny of Tenebrionidae, the largest family in Tenebrionoidea, inferred from a four-gene dataset also derived from PCR and Sanger sequencing; (3)...

Improving Projections of Tidal Marsh Persistence under Climate Change with Remote Sensing and Site-Specific Data

Creator:: Buffington, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Tidal marshes are dynamic ecosystems that are threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. To characterize baseline condition and historic climate sensitivities, and improve projections into the future, new methods are required that integrate data from the field and remote sensing platforms. Marsh elevation response models can be calibrated with...
