LINKING GENES AND PHYSIOLOGY UTILIZING GENOMICS AND TRANSCRIPTOMICS APPROACHES IN SWEET CHERRY (PRUNUS AVIUM)
(2012)
Sweet cherry is an important horticultural crop in Washington. Sweet cherry trees are grown as composite plants where the scion is grafted onto a rootstock. Rootstock genotype influences tree yield potential (among other ...
MOLD & COLD: THE SOLUTION IS SWEET IN WINTER WHEAT
(2019)
Winter conditions necessitate tolerance of snow mold and freezing cold among winter wheat plants. These traits involve numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL), environmental interactions, and mechanisms such as carbohydrate ...
Building the genetic, agronomic and economic foundations for expansion of oat cultivation in western Washington
(2017)
Oats (Avena sativa L.) are a versatile crop with diverse genetic resources. A study of population structure in a collection of oat genotypes relatively unaffected by recent breeding activity identified an under-utilized ...
GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES OF DROUGHT RESISTANCE AND YIELD POTENTIAL IN WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) USING AGRONOMIC AND REMOTELY SENSED TRAITS
(2015)
Emerging phenotyping methods and increasingly abundant genotyping platforms have become valuable tools for the discovery and introgression of yield-positive and stress-adaptive genes into modern wheat (Triticum aestivum ...
RE-IMAGINING WHEAT FOR REGIONAL MARKETS AND AGROECOSYSTEMS
(2017)
The commodification of wheat and its ubiquity in food, society and agriculture belies its potential to contribute to the ecology, nutrition and economies of regional food systems. The craft and science of plant breeding ...
Plant Breeding for Regional Food Systems: Investigating Craft Malt, Disease Resistance and Production Potential of Barley and Dry Beans in Western Washington
(2015)
Regionally focused plant breeding has the potential to increase the productivity and profitability of dry beans and barley in western Washington, strengthening the local food system. Achieving this will require an ...
Sustainable Intercropping of Switchgrass and Hybrid Poplar for Bioenergy Production
(2014)
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a perennial warm-season grass that has been selected as an important lignocellulosic feedstock to support bioenergy production. Intercropping of two perennial species, switchgrass and ...
FABA BEAN (VICIA FABA L.) A PROMISING NEW PULSE CROP FOR SOUTHEASTERN WASHINGTON
(2014)
The successful adoption of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in southeastern Washington is contingent upon the stability of supply, i.e., yield, and market demand. The lack of regional demand for faba bean has restricted research ...
Genetics of drought tolerance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
(2015)
Drought is a major constraint limiting dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield worldwide. Some lines express tolerance but the mechanisms are not well understood. We sought to: i) identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) ...
Pyroxsulam Persistence, Adsorption, and Movement in Palouse Soils
(2017)
Instances of herbicide persistence contributing to injury of sensitive rotational crops in the Palouse are common. As a consequence, the Palouse has a reputation for unexpectedly long herbicide persistence among industry, ...
