Variation of drought resistance and root regeneration among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana)

Creator:

Sharpe, Jodie M.

Abstract:

Drought resistance among genotypes of Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Pan., Cupressaceae) seedlings was evaluated both in the field and in the greenhouse. Field water potentials (Ψ) of 5-year-old seedlings were measured at two high-elevation plantation sites where summer drought occurs. Measurements of Ψ were compared to survival two years...

Martin, Danielle K. H.

Abstract:

Since around 1923 Port-Orford-cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murray) Parl.) has been affected by Phytophthora root disease caused by the virulent introduced pathogen Phytophthora lateralis. A systematic resistance testing and breeding program located at the USDA Forest Service Dorena Genetic Resource Center in Cottage Grove, Oregon was initiated in 1997 with...

Road networks, timber harvest, and the spread of Phytophthora root rot infestations of Port-Orford-cedar in southwest Oregon

Creator:

Clark, William C.

Abstract:

Phytophthora lateralis is the causal agent of cedar root rot, a fatal forest pathogen whose principal host is Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford-cedar), a predominantly riparian-restricted endemic tree species of ecological, economical, and cultural importance to coastal Oregon and California. Local scale distribution of P. lateralis is thought to be associated with...
