EFFECTS OF METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS ON CONIDIA INFECTION AND PRODUCTION OF ERYSIPHE NECATOR, PODOSPHAERA CLANDESTINA, AND PODOSPHAERA MACULARIS ON THE LEAVES OF GRAPE, CHERRY AND HOP
(2015)
Grape, cherry and hop powdery mildew, caused by Erysiphe necator, Podosphaera clandestina, and P. macularis, are common problems in WA. Since conidia concentration is strongly related to disease intensity, it is an effective ...
GENOMIC CHARACTERIZATION AND MOLECULAR INVESTIGATIONS INTO NEGATIVE-STRANDED RNA VIRUSES OF PLANTS
(2014)
Tospoviruses are economically important viruses affecting a wide range of field and horticultural crops worldwide. Tospoviruses contain large (L) RNA, medium (M) RNA and small (S) RNA. Sequence analysis of the NSs gene in ...
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS AND MITIGATION ON WHEAT SYSTEM IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST
(2017)
Although the world’s food demand is projected to increase due to population growth, the future of the global food supply is not well understood given the complex nature of stressors such as climate change. The goal of this ...
A PREDICTIVE GENETIC KNOWLEDGE FOR APPLE "FRESH SENSATION" PROVIDES INFORMATION TO INCREASE BREEDING EFFICIENCY IN WASHINGTON
(2014)
Apple texture and flavor are fruit quality components that determine the success of new apple cultivars and consumer satisfaction. Better-tasting apples encourage greater consumption and health benefits. The combined suite ...
Phytoseiids as biological control agents of phytophagous mites in Washington apple orchards
(2015)
The integrated mite management (IMM) program in Washington has depended on the biological control of spider mites provided by Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt). We explored methods of improving this program. A series of ...
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT GLUTENIN SUBUNIT GENE FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEIR EFFECT ON WHEAT QUALITY
(2018)
Gluten is a macro polymer responsible for the unique viscoelastic properties of wheat dough and it is formed from the interaction of wheat seed storage proteins. The low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs) are one ...
USING NEW MOLECULAR TOOLS TO EXPLORE HOW ORGANIC FARMING IMPACTS TOP-DOWN AND BOTTOM-UP REGULATION OF POTATO HERBIVORES
(2017)
Herbivorous agricultural pests are simultaneously threatened by predatory natural enemies and by toxic plant defenses. Both these “top down” and “bottom up” forces might be enhanced under organic farm management. For ...
Quantifying Relationships between Ecology and Aesthetics in Agricultural Landscapes
(2013)
Biodiversity decline and ecological degradation continue unabated despite accumulation of ecological knowledge, proliferation of sustainability research, and efforts to conserve natural resources. This paradox underscores ...
Evaluation of progeny of genetically engineered barley plants for resistance to rhizoctonia oryzae and rhizoctonia solani AG-8
(2003)
In recent years, farmers in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) have been adopting agricultural practices known as direct-seed, or no-till farming, for both economic and resource conservation benefits. Unfortunately, Rhizoctonia ...
