Phytosanitation of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) logs to mitigate the risk of artificially disseminating Phytophthora ramorum within the global trade of timber

Creator:: Hulbert, Joseph M.
Abstract:: Phytophthora ramorum is a plant pathogen that was accidentally introduced to the United States. This invasive microorganism has killed over a million trees in California and Oregon, and continues to spread to new areas. Diseased areas have been nationally quarantined to prevent further spread and more than ninety countries include...

Systematics of the genus Ramaria inferred from nuclear large subunit and mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences

Creator:: Humpert, Andrea J.
Abstract:: Ramaria is a genus of epigeous fungi common to the coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest of North America. The extensively branched basidiocarps and the positive chemical reaction of the context in ferric sulfate are distinguishing characteristics of the genus. The genus is estimated to contain between 200-300 species and...

An evaluation of factors influencing the management of Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Creator:: Kepler, Ryan M.
Abstract:: The black vine weevil (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a persistent pest of nursery operations in the United States, feeding on over 140 species of plants. The goals of this research were to 1) assess the behavioral response of BVW to a commonly employed insecticide bifenthrin (Talstar 0.2G®)...

Evaluating the effectiveness of commonly used herbaceous weed control regimes in a Pacific Northwest conifer plantation

Creator:: Dinger, Eric
Abstract:: Early in the establishment of Pacific Northwest conifer plantations, herbaceous weeds often decrease seedling growth through competition for soil moisture during the dry summer months. Critical period studies have reported that reductions in competitive weed cover are necessary during the initial years of establishment to avoid reductions in seedling growth....

Cloning and biochemical characterization of the hectochlorin biosynthetic gene cluster from the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula

Creator:: Ramaswamy, Aishwarya V.
Abstract:: Cyanobacteria are rich in biologically active secondary metabolites, many of which have potential application as anticancer or antimicrobial drugs or as useful probes in cell biology studies. A Jamaican isolate of the marine cyanobacterium, Lyngbya majuscula was the source of a novel antifungal and cytotoxic secondary metabolite, hectochlorin. The structure...

Identifying site characteristics that explain variation in Douglas-fir site productivity and stem form

Creator:: Magalska, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Foresters care about site productivity and stem quality in Douglas-fir plantations for many reasons. The profitability of forest land and the economic returns on silvicultural investments are directly related to site productivity. Thus, understanding the relationships among Douglas-fir productivity, stem form and site characteristics is important economically. My objective was...

Primary succession on a receding glacier forefront : with special emphasis on root-colonizing fungi

Creator:: Jumpponen, Ari
Abstract:: Plant succession is among the fundamental concepts in ecology. Studies addressing plant recruitment, successional mechanisms, and the role of root-colonizing fungi with focus on dark-septate endophytes (DSE) were conducted in the laboratory and on the forefront of receding Lyman Glacier (North Cascade Range, Washington, U.S.A.). Primary successional studies primarily focus...

Nitrogen mineralization from organic amendments during the second year following application

Creator:: Kusonwiriyawong, Charirat
Abstract:: Estimates of nitrogen (N) available from long-term application of organic amendments are required to balance N inputs with crop N requirements. Two studies were conducted to (1) determine N mineralized from organic amendments (manures and composts) during year 2 after application, and (2) compare plant-available N (PAN) determined via in...
