  • Specificity of quantitatively expressed host resistance to Mycosphaerella graminicola

    Creator:
    Krenz, Jennifer E.
    Abstract:
    The specificity of quantitative host resistance to plant disease has long been a controversial issue. We examined interactions between wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Mycosphaerella graminicola, causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, to determine whether specific interactions occur between host and pathogen genotypes that could be involved in eroding quantitatively expressed...

  • Genetic factors that provide adult plant resistance against Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici to wheat cultivar 'Stephens' in a multilocation analysis.

    Creator:
    Vazquez, Maria Dolores
    Abstract:
    Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) has been receiving increased attention in the USA since the appearance of more virulent races detected in the past decade. These races caused yield losses even in areas where the disease previously was rarely detected. Host plant resistance is the most cost effective...

  • The Influence of Scale in a Structured Decision Making Framework for Chinook Salmon Management

    Creator:
    McDonnell, Kevin N.
    Abstract:
    The goal of my dissertation was to explore how scale influences stream restoration prioritization strategies for an anadromous species and identify influential uncertainties that exist at different scales. My objectives were to (1) produce a comprehensive review of the Chinook salmon management challenges in California’s Central Valley and identify the...

  • The geometric characterization and thermal performance of a microchannel heat exchanger for diesel engine waste heat recovery

    Creator:
    Yih, James S.
    Abstract:
    Rising energy demands and the continual push to find more energy efficient technologies have been the impetus for the investigation of waste heat recovery techniques. Diesel engine exhaust heat utilization has the potential to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the release of greenhouse gases, because diesel...

  • Vegetation Community Data to Inform Climate-Adaptation Management; Gardiner, New York

    Creator:
    Randazzo, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Climate change represents an increasing threat to northeastern temperate forests. Nearly all forest communities have been affected by climate change and require climate-adaptation management (Jandl et al. 2018). Climate-adaptation management (CAM) promotes the viability of forested systems and the ecosystem services they provide under current and future climatic conditions (Bolte...
