While Brettanomyces can metabolize nonesterified hydroxycinnamic acids found in grape musts/wines (caffeic, p-coumaric, and ferulic acids), it was not known whether this yeast could utilize the corresponding tartaric acid esters (caftaric, p-coutaric, and fertaric acids, respectively). Red wines from Washington and Oregon were inoculated with B. bruxellensis, while hydroxycinnamic acids...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of noncoding genes that regulate gene expression through
posttranscriptional repression. Given the potential for large viral genomes to encode these transcripts, we
examined the human cytomegalovirus AD169 genome for miRNAs using a bioinformatics approach. We
identified 406 potential stem-loops, of which 110 were conserved...
ABSTRACT
Eukaryotes produce functionally diverse classes of
small RNAs (20–25 nt). These include microRNAs
(miRNAs), which act as regulatory factors during
growth and development, and short-interfering
RNAs (siRNAs), which function in several epigenetic
and post-transcriptional silencing systems. The
Arabidopsis Small RNA Project (ASRP) seeks to characterize
and functionally analyze the...
This report provides an empirical analysis of the demand for and
supply of eight major cool season grasses grown for seed in the United
States at farm and wholesale market levels. Special emphasis is placed
on the Willamette Valley of Oregon which produced more than 70 percent
of total U.S....

Most of the forces in academia work to develop highly specialized individuals. Training comes primarily from a single person, the dissertation advisor. Detailed field study of various forest types or physiographic provinces is often limited to where we trained and where we work (sometime both are in the same location...
As part of the Willamette Basin Geographic Initiative Program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded The Nature Conservancy of Oregon to inventory, classify, and map native wetland and riparian plant communities and their threatened biota in the Willamette Valley. Between October 1994 and September 1996, we evaluated 172 wetland and...
This paper reports the output of a consensus symposium organized by the International Union of Radioecology in November 2015. The symposium gathered an academically diverse group of 30 scientists to consider the still debated ecological impact of radiation on populations and ecosystems. Stimulated by the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters' accidental...
