Chronologically Inappropriate Morphogenesis (Chinmo) Is Required For Maintenance Of Larval Stages Of Fall Armyworm, Xien Chen, Jinmo Koo, Surjeet Kumar Arya, Subba R. Palli
Chronologically Inappropriate Morphogenesis (Chinmo) Is Required For Maintenance Of Larval Stages Of Fall Armyworm, Xien Chen, Jinmo Koo, Surjeet Kumar Arya, Subba R. Palli
Entomology Faculty Publications
Broad complex (Br-C) and eip93F (E93) transcription factors promote insect metamorphosis from larva to pupa and from pupa to adult, respectively. Recently, chronologically inappropriate morphogenesis (Chinmo) has been proposed as a larval specifier in Drosophila melanogaster. However, whether Chinmo is required for larval maintenance in lepidopteran insects, the underlying mechanisms involved in maintaining the larval stage, and its interactions with the JH signaling pathway are not well understood. Here, we used a binary transgenic CRISPR/Cas9 system to knockout Chinmo and Kr-h1 (primary response gene in the JH signaling pathway) in the fall armyworm (FAW). Kr-h1 knockout induced premature metamorphosis only …

Comparative genomic studies of social insects suggest that changes in gene regulation are associated with evolutionary transitions in social behavior, but the activity of predicted regulatory regions has not been tested empirically. We used self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing, a high-throughput enhancer discovery tool, to identify and measure the activity of enhancers in the socially variable sweat bee, Lasioglossum albipes. We identified over 36,000 enhancers in the L. albipes genome from 3 social and 3 solitary populations. Many enhancers were identified in only a subset of L. albipes populations, revealing rapid divergence in regulatory regions within this species. Population-specific enhancers …

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications
Artificial superlattices composed of perovskite oxides serves as an essential platform for engineering coherent phonon transport by redefining the lattice periodicity, which strongly influences the lattice-coupled phase transitions in charge and spin degrees of freedom. However, previous methods of manipulating phonons have been limited to controlling the periodicity of superlattice, rather than utilizing complex mutual interactions that are prominent in transition metal oxides. In this study on oxide superlattices composed of ferromagnetic metallic SrRuO3 and quantum paraelectric SrTiO3 , phonon modulation by controlling the geometry of superlattice in atomic-scale precision is realized, demonstrating the coherent phonon engineering using structural and …
Impact Of Gut Microbiota And Its Metabolites On Immunometabolism In Colorectal Cancer, Madison Flory, Paloma Bravo, Asfaqul Alam
Impact Of Gut Microbiota And Its Metabolites On Immunometabolism In Colorectal Cancer, Madison Flory, Paloma Bravo, Asfaqul Alam
Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly prevalent, accounting for approximately one-tenth of cancer cases and deaths globally. It stands as the second most deadly and third most common cancer type. Although the gut microbiota has been implicated in CRC carcinogenesis for the last several decades, it remains one of the least understood risk factors for CRC development, as the gut microbiota is highly diverse and variable. Many studies have uncovered unique microbial signatures in CRC patients compared with healthy matched controls, with variations dependent on patient age, disease stage, and location. In addition, mechanistic studies revealed that tumor-associated bacteria produce diverse …

Biostatistics Faculty Publications
Unsupervised learning, particularly clustering, plays a pivotal role in disease subtyping and patient stratification, especially with the abundance of large-scale multi-omics data. Deep learning models, such as variational autoencoders (VAEs), can enhance clustering algorithms by leveraging inter-individual heterogeneity. However, the impact of confounders—external factors unrelated to the condition, e.g. batch effect or age—on clustering is often overlooked, introducing bias and spurious biological conclusions. In this work, we introduce four novel VAE-based deconfounding frameworks tailored for clustering multi-omics data. These frameworks effectively mitigate confounding effects while preserving genuine biological patterns. The deconfounding strategies employed include (i) removal of latent features correlated …

Effects Of Aneuploidy On Seed Production In Autopolyploid Forage Crops, A Elgersma
Effects Of Aneuploidy On Seed Production In Autopolyploid Forage Crops, A Elgersma
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Between the selection of a population and its commercial use, several generations of multiplication are necessary. The essential feature in variety maintenance is that no genetic changes occur during multiplication. In seed-propagated species, however, during each multiplication cycle natural selection takes place at ihe gamete, zygote, seed and plant level. In induced autopolyploids high frequencies of aneuploids can occur. Aneuploidy not only affects the seed yield level, but also the selection processes that occur during multiplication. It may cause genetic shift and affect variety stability. Species differ in their tolerance to aneuploids. It is not possible to eliminate aneuploidy by …

Effects Of Ratooning And Protection From Diseases And Birds On Seed Production In Guinea Grass, Okoro Oji, F N. Madubuike, F.O C. Ezedinma
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Effects of ratooning and protection from diseases and birds on seed production in guinea grass (Pannicum maximum L.) were assessed in a study from October 1986 to April 1987. Treatments included ratooning and mancozeb application with or without protection from birds (netting). Highest yield occurred with combined netting and mancozeb application. Mancozeb sp,aying without netting gave lower seed yield than netting without fungicide spraying. Seed yield, which generally decreased with ratooning, was lowest among unnetted and unsprayed crops. Prom anthesis to seed maturation lasted, on average, 9 days, and seeds borne on the upper part of the panicle matured …
Potential For Improved Honey Bee Pollination Efficiency From Easy-To-Trip Lucerne, L R. Teuber, E E. Knapp
Potential For Improved Honey Bee Pollination Efficiency From Easy-To-Trip Lucerne, L R. Teuber, E E. Knapp
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The principal pollinator of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) in California, USA is the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). However, honey bees are notoriously inefficient pollinators of lucerne because they learn to avoid tripping the floret. Easy-to-trip lucerne florets could reduce this problem. These studies were designed to determine the inheritance of ease of tripping and assess the effect of ease of tripping on the rate of outcrossing. Both additive and digenic variance for ease of tripping were significant, resulting in a heritability of 34.0:1:16.2%. Ease of tripping had no influence on outcrossing rate, which was estimated to average …
Effect Of Final Cutting For Fodder On Seed Yield And Seed Quality In Berseem, S L. Saini, R K. Chowdhury
Effect Of Final Cutting For Fodder On Seed Yield And Seed Quality In Berseem, S L. Saini, R K. Chowdhury
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The study was conducted to determine the appropriate time of final culling (closing) for fodder to optimise the seed yield and seed quality in berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum L.). Based on 2 years' experimentation, the maximum seed yield was obtained when the final cut for fodder was taken in mid•March and the crop was then closed for seed. Seed yield was reduced drastically when the final cut was delayed to late March•April. The seed quality parameters of standard germination, seed weight and vigour index were also reduced when the final cut for fodder was delayed to late March•early April. Based …
Effect Of Post-Harvest Management Practices On Seed Yields On Fine-Leaf Fescue, Gale A. Gingrich, William C. Young Iii, Thomas B. Silberstein
Effect Of Post-Harvest Management Practices On Seed Yields On Fine-Leaf Fescue, Gale A. Gingrich, William C. Young Iii, Thomas B. Silberstein
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Public opposition and legislative actions have restricted the practice of open-field burning of grass seed fields in Western Oregon's Willamette Valley. Finding economically acceptable alternatives to straw residue removal has become a priority for valley grass seed growers. Trials using 4 residue management practices were established on 2 commercial fine fescue (Festuca rubra) seed fields. Seed yields varied significantly between residue management practices. Seed yields from thermal-treated plots were equal or significantly greater than yields from the non-thermal treatments. Fertile tiller number was also greater with thermal treatments. Most fine fescue fields produce 4-6 seed crops before replanting, …

Floret Site Utilization Of White Clover, A H. Marshall, D H. Hides
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Plants of white clover (Trifolium repensL.) cv. Olwen were grown in an open glasshouse at 20°C and ovule growth and development measured. Differences in the rate of growth of ovules within ovaries were observed as early as 2 days after pollination. Ovules reached a maximum size after 8 days, with the smallest only half the size of the largest. After 8 days the smallest ovules became flaccid and shrivelled. Ovule position within the ovary had no effect on the frequency of seed set. Inflorescence position and floret position on the inflorescence had a significant effect on the number …
Influence Of Harvest Date On The Yield And Quality Of Seed Of Phalaris, K Reddy, W R. Scott, R J. Lucas
Influence Of Harvest Date On The Yield And Quality Of Seed Of Phalaris, K Reddy, W R. Scott, R J. Lucas
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Grasslands Maru phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L,) was harvested every third day commencing 12 days after mid-anthesis (DAA) to define the optimum time of harvest for seed yield and quality. Harvesting earlier than 21-24 DAA reduced 1000-seed weight and viability. Delaying harvest until 24 days reduced seed yield due to shattering but had no detrimental effect on seed weight and viability. Heavy seed losses occurred 24 DAA when seed moisture fell below 40%. The results of this experiment suggest that Maru phalaris should be harvested 21-24 DAA when the seed moisture is in the range of 40-42% to reduce the …
Annual Bluegrass And Rat's Tail Fescue Control In Perennial Ryegrass, M E. Mellbye, William C. Young Iii, George W. Mueller-Warrant
Annual Bluegrass And Rat's Tail Fescue Control In Perennial Ryegrass, M E. Mellbye, William C. Young Iii, George W. Mueller-Warrant
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Annual bh1egrass (Poa annua L.) and rat's-tail fescue (Vulpia myruros (L.) C.C. Omel.) are common weed contaminants in seed from perennial ryegrass fields Lolium perenne L. grown in Oregon. A trial was conducted to evaluate post-harvest residue removal methods and herbicides to reduce the level of these impurities. The best weed control was obtained from herbicides following crew-cut management, a comparatively thorough non-thermal nppronch to residue removal. Control was good with sequential herbicide treatments, especially when an effective pre-emergence herbicide such as pendimethalin was used, although no treatment completely eliminated annual bluegrass and rat's-tail fescue from threshed seed samples …

Flowering And Seed Production Of Centrosema Spp. In Relation To Day Length And Temperature, R.J M. Gonzalez, R J. Clements, L R. Humphreys
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The effcc1s of variation in daylength and temperature on the flowering processes leading to seed production were studied in genotypes of 5 Centrosema spp. Short days (11 h) enhanced flowering in accessions of C. virginatum from low latitude but flowering of lines from high latitude was more prolific in 16-h days. A quantitative long-short day response was evident in 2 intermediate latitude accessions. The critical photoperiod for flowering·varied: C. virginianum cross 31 flowered in 13.5 h or less, C. pubescens, C. pascuorum and C. macrocarpum in 12 h or less, and C. schiediam Oowcred only in a 10.5 …
Herbicide Treatments For Non-Thermal Grass-Seed Production, George W. Mueller-Warrant, William C. Young Iii
Herbicide Treatments For Non-Thermal Grass-Seed Production, George W. Mueller-Warrant, William C. Young Iii
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Legislation phasing down open-field burning in the Willamette Valley of Oregon is forcing grass seed growers to alter crop production piactices. Adoption of new mechanical means for straw removal has increased reliance on herbicides. Volunteer seedling control and crop tolerance for 15 herbicide treatment sequences were evaluated in established tall fcscue (Festuca arundinacea) and perennial ryegrass (Lolimn perenne) stands during 2 growing seasons using 5 methods of residue removal. Pre-emergence pendimethalin was extremely safe yet fairly effective on volunteer seedlings in both crops. For perennial ryegrass subsequently treated with post-emergence herbicides, pre-emergence metolachlor was slightly more …

Vernalised plants of perennial ryeg ra ss (Lolium prenne L. cv. Orasslonds Nui) were grown under controlled conditions and apical development followed by regular excision of apices, which were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. A 12-point scale describing apical development from the vegetative stage to ear emergence has been produced that is presented in 2 forms: a developmental sequence describing organogenesis events at specific stages, and a commentary on easily recognised features of each stage. The developmental scale provides a detailed analysis that is of value as a botanical description and as a practical aid to those involved …
Seed Yield Potential Of White Clover: Characteristics, Components And Compromise, P.T P. Clifford, I J. Baird
Seed Yield Potential Of White Clover: Characteristics, Components And Compromise, P.T P. Clifford, I J. Baird
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Nd relationship between leaf size and any of the measured variables was found for 63 agronomically superior white clover (Trifolium repens L.) plants of relatively diverse morphological and physiological characteristics, Predominantly crown-flowering plants gave more than double the seed yield of stolon-lip 'flowerers. High seed yields were also associated with delays in peak flowering, harvest date and increased harvest dry matter. Similar associations were evident for inflorescence density. Increased dry matter accumulation was associated with increases in both floret numbers and seeds/ inflorescence.

Studies In Germination And Thousand-Seed Weight In Chicory Cv. Grasslands Puna, W J. Archie, J S. Rowarth, B R. Guy
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A strong, positive correlation was found between 1000-seed weight (TSW) and germination in chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) cv. Grasslands Puna. Low TSW tended to be associated with empty or immature seed; empty seed was associated with exclusion of bees. No significant differences in seed characteristics were found between seeds harvested from different positions (top, middle or bottom third) on the plant. Optimum harvest lime was 4 weeks after peak flowering.
Seed Production Of Plantain (Plantago Lanceolata L.), J S. Rowarth, M P. Rolston, W J. Archie
Seed Production Of Plantain (Plantago Lanceolata L.), J S. Rowarth, M P. Rolston, W J. Archie
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Seed development studies showed that seed maturity in plantain (Plantago lanceolata L,) occurred 6 weeks after anthesis; maximum seed yields were obtained 8 weeks after anthesis. This is consistent with the fact that seed heads take approximately 17 days to complete flowering. Fertiliser nitrogen increased plantain seed yield. Time of closing, timing of nitrogen application and different stand densities did not significantly affect seed yield, probably because plantain can adapt to and compensate for the treatments imposed.
Reproductive Initiation, Closing Dates, Nitrogen Requirements And Harvesting Of Smooth Brome Cv. Grasslands Tiki, J S. Rowarth, W J. Archie
Reproductive Initiation, Closing Dates, Nitrogen Requirements And Harvesting Of Smooth Brome Cv. Grasslands Tiki, J S. Rowarth, W J. Archie
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Reproductive initiation, closing dates, nitrogen requirements and optimum harvest time were investigated for seed production of Grasslands Tiki smooth brome (Bromus inermis Leyss.) in the South Island of New Zealand. Reproductive initiation began in late June, spikelet initiation in mid-September and ear-emergence in midOctober. Seed yield was not affected detrimentally by mowing to 5 cm in mid-September but decreased 24% by mowing in mid-October. Seed yield tended to increase with increasing amounts of N. However, although the highest seed yields were achieved with 50 kg/ha of N in autumn plus I 00 or 150 kg/ha in spring, they did not …

Evaluation Of Non-Thermal Residue-Removal Equipment Used By Willamette Valley Seed Growers As A Substitute For Open-Field Burning, William C. Young Iii, David O. Chilcote, Thomas B. Silberstein
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Recent legislation reducing open-field burning in Oregon has caused many grass seed producers to experiment with non-thermal residue management alternatives. On-farm test sites were selected to evaluate 4 post-harvest residue removal treatments common at 7 locations. Seed yield did not differ significantly when residue management treatments were applied to new stands of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) after harvest of the first seed crop. Control of weeds and volunteer crop seedlings was poorest where increased amounts of crop residue remained on the soil surface.
Sowing Rate And Row Spacing In Pure Stand Establishment Of Smooth Meadowgrass For Seed Production, Trygve S. Aamlid
Sowing Rate And Row Spacing In Pure Stand Establishment Of Smooth Meadowgrass For Seed Production, Trygve S. Aamlid
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Seed production of smooth meadow grass (Poa pratensis L.) cv. Lavang was compared at 3 sowing rates (2.5, 5.0 and l0.0 kg/ha) and at 2 row spacings (16.5 and :n cm), the wider used in conjunction with carbon banding. Results varied between fields according to temperature after planting and the weed content of the soil, but, on average, 5.0 kg/ha proved to be the optimal sowing rate. 33 cm row spacing and carbon banding caused a higher proportion of tillers to develop panicles and gave a higher seed yield with a better weed control in the first and third …
