Identification and Occurrence of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) Virus and Virus-Like Diseases in Various Regions and Orchards of Oregon

Creator:: Reinhold, Lauri A.
Abstract:: There are over 35 known virus and virus-like diseases of sweet cherry (Prunus avium), some with potential to cause severe economic impact by reducing vegetative growth, vigor, and/or quality of fruit. Oregon is the second-ranked state for sweet cherry production in the United States with 13,000 acres and $70.8 million...

The Role of the Mucosal Immunoglobulin IgT and Inflammatory Cytokines in Ceratonova shasta Infections in Rainbow Trout

Creator:: Taggart-Murphy, Laura M.
Abstract:: The myxozoan parasite Ceratonova shasta threatens both juvenile and adult salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, causing intestine necrosis and hemorrhaging, along with high mortality in some fish strains. It induces an inflammatory tissue response in susceptible strains of fish; understanding the interactions between C....

Identifying the Parameters for Wheat Pollen Electroporation Transformation

Creator:: Liu, Jiang
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. It has been and continues to be one of the main sources of food for humans and animals. Although traditional wheat breeding has contributed greatly to the improvement of wheat both in productivity and biotic/abiotic stress...

Density Functional Theory Investigation of CH Coupling and CH Hydrogenation Reactions on Different Cobalt Surface Facets and Fischer-Tropsch Temperature Swing Reactor Optimization

Creator:: Petersen, Dennis F.
Abstract:: Fischer-Tropsh Synthesis is a chemical process that converts CO and H₂ (syngas) into long stable hydrocarbon chains to use as fuel. This process suffers from large product distribution that requires expensive post processing. In this study, the reaction mechanism of hydrocarbon chain growth on Co is investigated on different surface...

Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

Creator:: Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
Abstract:: Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...

Distribution and coinfection of microparasites and macroparasites in juvenile salmonids in three upper Willamette River tributaries

Creator:: Roon, Sean Robert
Abstract:: Wild fish populations are typically infected with a variety of micro- and macroparasites that may affect fitness and survival, however, there is little published information on parasite distribution in wild juvenile salmonids in three upper tributaries of the Willamette River, OR. The objectives of this survey were to document (1)...

Evaluation of Apatite II™ for removal of copper and zinc from highway stormwater runoff : laboratory and field experiments

Creator:: Provolt, Justin J.
Abstract:: Current best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater treatment are not able to adequately remove heavy metals to levels which do not adversely affect aquatic life. Copper is commonly found in highway stormwater runoff, with the primary source being brake pad wear. Copper is of particular concern due to inhibitory effects...

Interactions of Amphorophora agathonica Hottes with raspberry viruses and resistant red and black raspberry

Creator:: Lightle, Danielle
Abstract:: In recent years, red raspberry production in Washington and British Columbia has been severely limited by a newly emerged virus complex that causes symptoms of crumbly fruit. The complex is comprised of three viruses: Raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV), Raspberry leaf mottle virus (RLMV) and Raspberry latent virus (RpLV). Both...

Microbiology of basalts targeted for deep geological carbon sequestration : field observations and laboratory experiments

Creator:: Lavalleur, Heather J.
Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

Geomicrobiology of marine sediment containing methane

Creator:: Briggs, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Marine sediments contain an abundance of methane that is biologically produced and plays a significant role in the global carbon cycle. Microbes responsible for the carbon cycle in marine sediments, and the processes that they carry out, need to be characterized in order to fully understand the role of this...
