Trees from temperate latitudes transition between growth and dormancy to survive dehydration and freezing stress during winter months. We employed activation tagging to isolate a dominant mutation affecting release from dormancy, and identified the corresponding gene EARLY BUD-BREAK 1 (EBB1). We demonstrate through positioning of the tag, expression analysis, and...

Semidwarfism has been used extensively in row crops and horticulture to promote yield, reduce lodging, and improve harvest index, and it might have similar benefits for trees for short-rotation forestry or energy plantations, reclamation, phytoremediation, or other applications. We studied the effects of the dominant semidwarfism transgenes GA Insensitive (GAI)...
The Oregon Processed Vegetable Commission (OPVC) is one of twenty-three commodity commissions that fall under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). In 2020, the OPVC was successfully awarded a 3-year grant under the FDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP) to conduct ‘Market Research and Development to...
We designed an experiment to see if turbulence induced by shear instability
could be a mechanism. Using equipment readily available we completed
an experiment from the Ice Island T-3. A sensor array of current meters
and thermistors (described later on) was suspended beneath the sea ice of
Colby Bay, T-3,...
