This book was released on 2014 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller, is a destructive disease of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana). While the wild North American hazelnut, C. americana, only experiences minor symptoms, commercially grown C. avellana is extremely susceptible. Anisogramma anomala, whose range includes much of the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains, is considered to be the main impediment to commercial hazelnut production in the East. As such, identifying and developing resistant C. avellana germplasm is critical to establishing an industry in this region. To support this goal, several research projects were undertaken. In the first study, 193 clonal hazelnut accessions spanning multiple Corylus species and inter-specific hybrids were examined for their disease response to EFB in New Jersey. In summary, despite the fact that many of the plants were shown to be resistant in Oregon, some accessions developed EFB in New Jersey. These results support previous work that suggests different isolates of the pathogen are present in the eastern U.S., and resistance may not hold up unilaterally. A second study included searching for new sources of resistance to EFB. New hazelnut germplasm was collected from Russia, Poland, and Ukraine and exposed to EFB. After at least five years of exposure, plants were rated for iii the presence of EFB. At completion, 76 trees from 24 seed lots were found to be free of EFB with several trees that also produced excellent quality kernels. The final study was predicated on evaluating known resistant plants for their flowering phenology in New Jersey. Phenological timing of flowering in hazelnuts is critical to ensure complete pollination and high crop yields. Nineteen hazelnut accessions were evaluated compared to daily temperatures over 4 years. Results showed that the accessions followed a similar progression of bloom each year (both staminate and pistillate flowers), which allowed their placement into Early, Mid-, and Late flowering groups. These findings represent the first efforts to report on flowering and bud break phenology in New Jersey, where the winter climate is colder and more variable than that of Oregon and other commercial hazelnut growing regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., is the only economically important nut crop in the family Betulaceae. One of the threats to the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala. Host genetic resistance to EFB identified in the obsolete pollinizer 'Gasaway' has been extensively used in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over deployment of a single resistance gene prompted a search for new sources of resistance. Eighty six accessions from ten countries were evaluated for their response to greenhouse inoculation with the pathogen. Nine accessions showed complete resistance. These new sources of EFB resistance have geographically diverse origins and will broaden the genetic base of our EFB-resistant hazelnut germplasm. Map-based cloning of the EFB resistance gene from 'Gasaway' hazelnut was initiated by constructing a BAC library for 'Jefferson' which is heterozygous for resistance. The BAC library was constructed using the cloning enzyme MboI and the vector pECBAC1 (BamHI site). The library consists of 39,936 clones arrayed in 104 384-well microtiter plates with an average insert size of 117 kb and estimated coverage of 12 genome-equivalents. Chromosome walking initiated with eight RAPD markers closely linked to resistance, and extended with two further rounds of walking identified a total of 93 BACs in the resistance region. A high resolution genetic map of the resistance region was created with 51 markers in a mapping population of 1488 seedlings. In parallel, a physical map was constructed. Analysis indicated that the resistance gene is located in a single contig of three BACs (43F13, 66C22 and 85B7). Whole BACs identified in the resistance region (

This book was released on 1998 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using bulked segregant analysis, five RAPD markers were identified that were linked in coupling to a gene conferring complete resistance to eastern filbert blight caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.). Two modified backcross populations were inoculated and scored for resistance to the pathogen and found to segregate in a 1:1 ratio. In the first population, the five markers were linked to the resistance gene at distances of 6.7, 0, 2.0, 2.0, and 2.0 cM. Three of these markers also were linked in coupling in the second population at distances of 6.0, 6.0, and 4.0 cM. Two of these markers were cloned and sequenced, and primers were designed based on the sequence information at the termini of the amplified marker fragments. These primers were used to amplify DNA from both populations and evaluated for their potential use in selecting for resistance among seedlings. One of these cloned markers (SC152800) produced the same polymorphism among both populations and was consistent with the linkage exhibited by the original RAPD marker. These primers were also used to amplify DNA from a collection of germplasm accessions used in the hazelnut breeding program. A fragment of similar size was amplified in all of the resistant germplasm tested, and also in some of the susceptible selections. This marker was shown to have potential for use in marker-assisted selection for breeding hazelnut cultivars resistant to eastern filbert blight.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hundred-year history of the hazelnut industry in the Pacific Northwest is threatened by eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been extensively used for 'Gasaway' resistance in the hazelnut breeding program at Oregon State University. Concern over breakdown of this resistance gene offers an incentive to look for new sources of resistance. Three genotypes (OSU 408.040, 'Ratoli' and OSU 759.010) have shown no signs or symptoms of the disease following a series of greenhouse inoculations or exposure of potted trees under structures topped with diseased wood. The objective of this study was to observe segregation for disease response in the offspring of these three novel sources and identify RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers linked to resistance. A total of 900 primers was screened for each resistance source using three resistant seedlings, three susceptible seedlings and the parents of a segregating population. The identified RAPD markers were then validated in a second progeny for each resistance source. Selection OSU 408.040, grown from seeds labeled 'Weschcke hybrid' collected at the research farm of the University of Minnesota, transmitted resistance to half of its seedlings. Six RAPD markers (four in repulsion and two in coupling) linked to resistance were identified for the cross OSU 245.098 x OSU 408.040. A linkage map constructed with disease phenotypes, previously identified AFLP markers and newly identified RAPDs spanned a distance of 18 cM. The order of markers was similar in the progeny OSU 474.013 x OSU 408.040. Segregation in two progenies indicated that the Spanish cultivar 'Ratoli' transmits resistance to 50% of its progeny. Four RAPD markers (one in repulsion and three in coupling) were identified for the progeny OSU 665.012 x 'Ratoli'. A linkage map constructed with disease phenotypes, previously identified AFLP markers and newly identified RAPDs spanned a distance of 28 cM. The RAPD marker OPG17-800 is robust, segregates 1:1, and has potential for use in MAS. Selection OSU 759.010 from the Republic of Georgia provides a new source of resistance. Disease scores segregated 3 resistant: 1 susceptible in the progeny OSU 759.010 x SU 653.068, and 1 resistant : 1 susceptible in the progeny OSU 759.010 x SU 665.076. Thirteen RAPD markers (12 in coupling and one in repulsion) linked to resistance were identified and a linkage map was constructed for the first progeny. All markers except OPH12-640 were also present in the second progeny. The markers closely linked to the resistance locus show distorted segregation in both progenies. Segregation ratios suggest simple inheritance for all three sources of resistance, and several RAPDs useful for marker-assisted selection were identified.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To identify novel host genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller, ninety European hazelnut {Corylus avellana L.) varieties and interspecific hybrids (with C. americana Marsh, or C. colurna L.) were screened for response to the eastern filbert blight pathogen after inoculation in a severe greenhouse test. Six varieties were discovered which did not display signs of the pathogen or symptoms of eastern filbert blight: 'Closca Molla', 'Ratoli', 'Yoder #5', 'Potomac', 'Medium Long', and 'Grand Traverse'. Two of these, 'Ratoli' and 'Closca Molla', are minor varieties from Spain and are superior agronomic types to 'Gasaway' which is the principle source of resistance currently being used in the Oregon State University (OSU) breeding program. Further studies are required to ascertain if the genetics of resistance in these newly evaluated varieties is unique. None of the six varieties has the UBC 15200 RAPD marker that segregates with the resistance gene found in 'Gasaway'. Inheritance of resistance to eastern filbert blight also was investigated in 'Zimmerman', a volunteer seedling that was found in 1989 displaying no disease symptoms despite its proximity to a orchard heavily infested with eastern filbert blight. Three progenies were created using 'Zimmerman' as the pollen parent in controlled crosses with three susceptible advanced selections from the OSU breeding program. The 'Zimmerman' progenies were grown from seed, grafted and subjected to the same severe inoculation as for the germplasm survey. The progenies displayed significant deviation from the 1:1 ratio that would be expected if 'Zimmerman' was hetero2ygous for the 'Gasaway' gene. Resistant phenotypes make up about 83% of the populations which indicates that the genetics of resistance in 'Zimmerman' differs at least partially, from that found in 'Gasaway'. The data were congruent with a 3 resistant :1 susceptible ratio which suggests 'Zimmerman' may possess a second, independent resistance gene. Yet, a well-characterized RAPD marker, linked to the resistance gene in 'Gasaway', segregates with the resistant phenotype in all three progeny populations with very little recombination (2 %, 4 %, and 6%). These newly found sources of resistance to eastern filbert blight will aid in the release of resistant cultivars and may increase the stability of genetic resistance to A. anomala.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller, is a serious threat to hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) production. Resistant cultivars offer the best control. Screening systems were needed to reliably identify disease, particularly in immune progeny derived from 'Gasaway'. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) was developed using polyclonal antibodies obtained from rabbits injected with A. anomala. One-thousand- fold dilutions of the antiserum produced a positive reaction to a 1.7 x 106 dilution of extracts from infected hazelnut but did not react to healthy plants. ELISA was more sensitive and efficient than microscopic detection. Two methods of screening hazelnut for quantitative resistance to eastern filbert blight were compared for their ability to differentiate between genotypes and for correlations between the two protocols. One method utilized a field plot in a randomized block design with inoculated trees planted in the borders as the disease source. The second method was based on exposing three sets of potted clones to high doses of inoculum in 1990 (Pinkerton et al., 1993), 1992-93, and 1993. Disease incidence and proportion of wood cankered as determined by the two methods were significantly correlated in each year of the study. A map of the field plot disease incidence indicates that the inoculum was present throughout the blocks. Additional sources of resistance are desirable. Seedlings of 'Gem' were all susceptible and seedlings of 'Zimmerman' segregated for resistance following greenhouse inoculation. The immunity of 'Gasaway' was confirmed as being conferred by a single dominant gene. Of the species material, clones of C. cornuta var. californica, C. heterophylla, and C. sieboldiana, most C. americana and one C. colurna clone were resistant, as were seedlings of C. cornuta var. cornuta and C americana. C. jacquemontii seedlings were highly susceptible, as were two suspected C. colurna x C avellana hybrids. Five C. americana x C. avellana hybrids were highly resistant. One of C. cornuta var. californica x C. avellana and two of the C. heterophylla x C. avellana hybrids were resistant. These sources of resistance are being used to broaden the genetic base of the breeding program.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European hazelnut, an important nut crop in Oregon agriculture, is threatened by the fungal disease eastern filbert blight (EFB) caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller. The hazelnut breeding program at OSU has been working on development of EFB-resistant cultivars. DNA markers allow mapping of traits using segregating progenies and identification of linked markers. The breeding of hazelnuts involves use of DNA markers to genotype individuals and facilitate selection in a procedure known as marker-assisted selection (MAS). This technique is particularly promising in tree crops with a long juvenile phase like the hazelnuts. 'Gasaway' resistance governed by a dominant allele at a single locus was identified and several EFB-resistant cultivars carrying the dominant allele from this source have been released. Infection of 'Gasaway' and some of its offspring by A. anomala isolates has been noted, and indicates an urgent need to investigate new sources of resistance, identify new resistance genes and incorporate them into the breeding effort. New microsatellite markers were developed from the genomic sequence of hazelnut cv. 'Jefferson'. A total of 17,802 simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs exceeding 15 bp in length and consisting of tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexa- nucleotide repeats were identified in the 'Jefferson' genome. Removal of duplicates, short fragments, repeats at ends, and repeats containing only A's and T's reduced the number of unique fragments to 2,069. Visual inspection of these unique fragments alligned with genome sequences of 7 other accessions in Tablet software identified 489 sequences with variation in number of repeats but with conserved flanking regions. Amplification of a set of 24 diverse accessions and separation on agarose gels led to the development of 366 new polymorphic markers. These were used to genotype 48 diverse accessions using capillary electrophoresis for fragment sizing. An additional 15 parents were also fingerprinted at these new 366 microsatellite loci. Using the mapping population (OSU 252.146 x OSU 414.062), 213 loci were mapped. A dendrogram was constructed which showed a high level of polymorphism in hazelnut. Tightly linked markers were identified for 'Gasaway' resistance and MAS is routinely used. The hazelnut acreage in Oregon is increasing every year with the planting of these new EFB-resistant cultivars. However, concern about disease resistance breakdown prompted an investigation of 12 new EFB resistance sources. Segregating progenies were inoculated by placement of potted trees under an inoculation structure, in the greenhouse, or in the field by tying a diseased branch on each tree. A chi-square goodness-of-fit test was used compare observed with expected segregation ratios. Very few seedlings of Moscow selections N01, N01-06, and N01-07 were resistant and were likely escapes. 'Grand Traverse', C. heterophylla 'Ogyoo', 'Yoder #5', C. americana 'Rush', Moscow N23, N26, N27, and N37 segregated in 1:1 ratio, indicating resistance governed by a single locus and a dominant allele for resistance. 'Uebov' transmitted resistance to only ~15 % of its seedlings. Resistance from 'Uebov', 'Grand Traverse', and C. heterophylla 'Ogyoo' were assigned to LG6 but only 'Uebov' and 'Grand Traverse' were mapped. Resistance from 'Yoder #5', Moscow N27 and C. americana 'Rush' was assigned to LG7. Mapping of the remaining resistance sources will be completed in the future.

This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nontimber forest products (NTFPs) are fundamental to the functioning of healthy forests and play vital roles in the cultures and economies of the people of the United States. However, these plants and fungi used for food, medicine, and other purposes have not been fully incorporated into management, policy, and resource valuation. This report is a forest-sectorwide assessment of the state of the knowledge regarding NTFPs science and management information for U.S. forests and rangelands (and hereafter referred to as the NTFP assessment). The NTFP assessment serves as a baseline science synthesis and provides information for managing nontimber forest resources in the United States. In addition, this NTFP assessment provides information for national-level reporting on natural capital and the ecosystem services NTFPs provide. The report also provides technical input to the 2017 National Climate Assessment (NCA) under development by the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP).
