Mitigating Microplastics : Development and Evaluation of a Middle School Curriculum

Creator:: Kowalski, Marie
Abstract:: Microplastics, plastic marine debris less than 5 mm in size, is a threat to the health of our oceans. One important way to reduce microplastics in our oceans is to educate people about the issue, particularly future decision-makers. In this study, a middle school curriculum was developed using current scientific...

Identification and development of PCR-based markers linked to eastern filbert blight resistance in hazelnut

Creator:: Davis, Joel W.
Abstract:: Using bulked segregant analysis, five RAPD markers were identified that were linked in coupling to a gene conferring complete resistance to eastern filbert blight caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). Two modified backcross populations were inoculated and scored for resistance to the pathogen and...

Microsatellite Marker Development, Characterization and Mapping in European Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), and Investigation of Novel Sources of Eastern Filbert Blight Resistance in Corylus

Creator:: Bhattarai, Gehendra
Abstract:: European hazelnut, an important nut crop in Oregon agriculture, is threatened by the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The hazelnut breeding program at OSU has been working on development of EFB-resistant cultivars. DNA markers allow mapping of traits using segregating progenies and...

An exploration of visitors’ conservation attitudes, expectations, and motivations at three informal education institutions in Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Nickels, Abby L.
Abstract:: Due to the overwhelming concern for the current state of our oceans, The Pew Ocean Commission (2003) and the U.S. Commission on Ocean policy (2004), have both strongly recommended an increase in our society’s ocean literacy. An increase in ocean literacy can be achieved through informal education institutions such as...

Empowering the Experts: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Climate Change Communication Workshop

Creator:: Vickery, Katrina
Abstract:: As climate change and its associated environmental and socioeconomic impacts become increasingly severe and imminent across the United States, it has become imperative for the public to be aware of and actively engaged with this issue. Although scientists generally perceive outreach in a positive light, a critical barrier that tends...

Family Sustainable Survival and the Advocacy Response Scale based on Rural Perspectives of Additives and Chemical Exposures

Creator:: Winterbourne, Amber H. S.
Abstract:: Learning is lifelong, life-wide and life-deep, meaning it happens anywhere, at any time (Banks, et al., 2007). The implications of learning with intent, is where “free choice learning” began (Falk and Dierking, 2002; 2010). Families play a vital role in developing an integrated curriculum including: rural anthropology (epigenetics, tribalism), Geosciences...

New sources and linked AFLP markers for Eastern filbert blight resistance in hazelnut

Creator:: Chen, Honglin
Abstract:: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miiller, is a devastating disease to orchards of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Host resistance is the most desirable means of disease control. Fifty-eight hazelnut accessions, including European cultivars and interspecific hybrids were evaluated...

Silviculture Impacts and Population Genomics of Coniferiporia sulphurascens, the Causal Agent of Laminated Root Rot

Creator:: McMurtrey, Shawn
Abstract:: Within the Pacific Northwest, USA, root diseases of conifers are a major forest health concern. These diseases are primarily caused by basidiomycete fungi. These fungal associates play a vital role in carbon sequestration but also have a significant negative economic impact within the timber industry. As a result, research on...

Steps toward structure-assisted drug design

Creator:: Watts, K. Shawn
Abstract:: The three dimensional structure of both a ligand and its cognate receptor are required for the success of structure-assisted drug design. This thesis reports the crystal structure of hectochlorin, a small, bioactive molecule, and the steps toward determining the crystal structure of an RNA molecule that is an attractive target...
