Pseudomonas fluorescens WH6 secretes a germination-arrest factor (GAF) that we have
identified previously as 4-formylaminooxyvinylglycine. GAF irreversibly inhibits germination of the
seeds of numerous grassy weeds and selectively inhibits growth of the bacterial plant pathogen
Erwinia amylovora. WH6-3, a mutant that has lost the ability to produce GAF, contains a...

We provide here a comparative genome analysis of ten strains within the Pseudomonas fluorescens group including seven new genomic sequences. These strains exhibit a diverse spectrum of traits involved in biological control and other multitrophic interactions with plants, microbes, and insects. Multilocus sequence analysis placed the strains in three sub-clades,...

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in black raspberry (Rubus
occidentalis L.) breeding. This has been spurred, in part, by an increase in black
raspberry consumption due to studies that have shown them to be particularly high in
anthocyanin content indicating high levels of antioxidants. Present cultivars are...

This has been spurred by an increase in black raspberry consumption due to studies that have shown them to be particularly high in anthocyanin content indicating high levels of antioxidants.

Pallidosis is a disease of strawberry identified in 1957 with an unknown etiology. Two previously uncharacterized viruses in strawberry, Strawberry pallidosis associated virus (SPaV) and Beet pseudo-yellows virus (BPYV), have been found associated with disease symptoms. The complete nucleotide sequence of both viruses was determined and molecular detection protocols developed....
Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...
The purpose of this study was twofold; first, to identify the
values held by Oregon State University students, and second, to
determine if the values of OSU students are different from samples
previously surveyed. A further purpose of the study was to
develop baseline data on a cross-section of the...
Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces multiple
host-selective toxins (HSTs), including Ptr ToxA, encoded for by ToxA, Ptr ToxB,
encoded for by ToxB, and Ptr ToxC. Variable distribution of these three HSTs among
different isolates of P. tritici-repentis, both singularly and in all possible combinations,
defines...
