Biology of Bromus Rigidus : Interference in Winter Wheat, Seed
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Jean Ann Gleichsner for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy inCrop Sciencepresented on June 27, 1988 . Title: Biology of Bromus rigidus: Interference in Winter Wheat, Seed Longevity in the Soil, and Vernalization Requirements for Flowering Abstract approved:!Redacted for Privacy / 1 Arnold P. Appleby Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to examine various biological aspects of ripgut brome (Bromus rigidus Roth). A field experiment was conducted to measure the grain yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. Stephens') at various ripgut brome and wheat plant densities. Wheat yield decreased as ripgut brome density increased at all wheat seeding rates (56, 112, 168, and 224 kg/ha). Grain yield was unaffected by wheat seeding rate in the absence of brome. Increasing seeding rates above 112 kg/ha to reduce wheat yield loss caused by ripgut brome is ineffective. In the field, both surface-sown and buried (1 to 30 cm) ripgut brome seed were depleted within 15 months. Persistence of surface-sown seed declined slowly during the first year, falling from 83 to 62 to 23% after 1, 9, and 12 months, respectively. Seed covered by soil, however, germinated more rapidly, with less than 10% of the initial population ungerminated after 1 month at all depths. The mode of seed disappearance was closely related to whether or not seed were covered with soil. Seed loss at depths of 1 to 30 cm was primarily due to germination in situ, with little effect from viability loss or enforced or induced dormancy. In contrast, the persistence of surface-sown seed was due primarily to induced dormancy for up to 12months, with nonviability loss and enforced dormancy becoming important thereafter. -
Taylor's Checkerspot (Euphydryas Editha Taylori) Oviposition Habitat Selection and Larval Hostplant Use in Washington State
TAYLOR'S CHECKERSPOT (EUPHYDRYAS EDITHA TAYLORI) OVIPOSITION HABITAT SELECTION AND LARVAL HOSTPLANT USE IN WASHINGTON STATE By Daniel Nelson Grosboll A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Studies The Evergreen State College June 2011 © 2011 by Daniel Nelson Grosboll. All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Study Degree by Daniel Nelson Grosboll has been approved for The Evergreen State College by ________________________ Judy Cushing, Ph.D. Member of the Faculty ______________ Date Abstract Taylor's checkerspot (Euphydryas editha taylori) oviposition habitat selection and larval hostplant use in Washington State Taylor’s checkerspot (Euphydryas editha taylori (W.H. Edwards 1888)), a Federal Endangered Species Act candidate species, is found in remnant colonies between extreme southwestern British Columbia and the southern Willamette Valley in Oregon. This butterfly and its habitat have declined precipitously largely due to anthropogenic impacts. However, this butterfly appears to benefit from some land management activities and some populations are dependent on an exotic hostplant. Oviposition sites determine what resources are available for larvae after they hatch. Larval survival and growth on three reported hostplants (Castilleja hispida, Plantago lanceolata, and P. major) were measured in captivity to determine the suitability of hostplant species and to develop captive rearing methods. Larvae successfully developed on C. hispida and P. lanceolata. Parameters of oviposition sites were measured within occupied habitat at four sites in Western Washington. Sampling occurred at two spatial scales with either complete site censuses or stratified systematic sampling on larger sites. Within the sampled or censused areas, oviposition sites were randomly selected for paired oviposition/adjacent non-oviposition microhabitat measurements. -
Genomic Causes and Consequences of the Evolution of Self-Fertilization in the Flowering Plant Genera Capsella and Collinsia
GENOMIC CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE EVOLUTION OF SELF-FERTILIZATION IN THE FLOWERING PLANT GENERA CAPSELLA AND COLLINSIA by Khaled Hazzouri A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Graduate Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto © Copyright by Khaled Hazzouri 2012 GENOMIC CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE EVOLUTION OF SELF-FERTILIZATION IN THE FLOWERING PLANT GENERA CAPSELLA AND COLLINSIA Khaled Hazzouri Doctor of Philosophy Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The shift in mating system from outcrossing to selfing is associated with many evolutionary changes including reduced flower size and changes in sex allocation, leading to a suite of morphological characteristics known as the selfing syndrome. Furthermore, the evolution of selfing is expected to have important effects on genetic variation and the efficacy of natural selection. However, the underlying genomic causes of morphological evolution and the extent of relaxed selection remain unresolved. In this thesis I use new genomic approaches to investigate the genetic basis of floral evolution as well as the consequences of the evolution of selfing in the genus Capsella (Brassicaceae), in which the highly selfing C. rubella evolved recently from the self-incompatible, obligately outcrossing C. grandiflora. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping results suggest that few loci with major effects on multiple floral phenotypes underlie the evolution of the selfing syndrome. Patterns of neutral diversity in QTL regions from both resequencing and next-generation transcriptome sequencing suggest an important role for positive directional selection in the evolution of the selfing syndrome. Combined with the identification of differentially expressed genes, the signals of positive selection provide candidate regions for identifying the causal evolutionary changes. -

Mountain Plants of Northeastern Utah
MOUNTAIN PLANTS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen and Arthur H. Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H. Falkenborg, Extension Editor Utah State University Extension is an affirmative action/equal employment opportunity employer and educational organization.

Symbios Research & Restoration 135 Growing and Using Native Plants in the Northern Interior of B.C. Collinsia parviflora Dougl.exLindl. small-flowered blue-eyed Mary (continued) Background Information Collinsia parviflora is an annual species (the only one treated in this manual), found north to Alaska and southern Yukon, east to Ontario, and south to Pennsylvania, Michigan, South Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona and California. It is common in B.C., except in the northeast (Douglas et al. 2000). Growth Form: Annual herb from a tap root; opposite smooth or minutely hairy leaves, purplish underneath; terminal cluster of short-stalked flowers, 2 lipped; the upper flower lip is two-lobed, white; the lower flower lip is three-lobbed, blue; mature plant size is 5 - 50 cm tall (Douglas et al. 2000). Site Preferences: Moist to dry grassy slopes, mossy rock outcrops, forest glades and open forests at low to middle elevations (Douglas et al. 2000). In coastal B.C. it is reported to be shade-intolerant, found on very dry to moderately dry nitrogen-medium soils, including open forests on very shallow soils (rock outcrops and cliffs) and meadow-like communities on water-shedding sites. This species is considered characteristic of moisture-deficient sites, and its occurrence appears to increase with increasing temperature (Klinka et al. -

Pollen tube growth rates (PTGRs) of angiosperms are exceptionally rapid, a pattern 25 attributed to more effective haploid selection under stronger pollen competition. Paradoxically, 26 whole genome duplication (WGD) has been common in angiosperms but rare in gymnosperms.
