Creator:

Smyth, Johanna C.

Abstract:

The transition of mature pollen to the progamic phase represents an important step in the regulation of plant sexual reproduction. The progamic phase encompasses the initiation of pollen tube germination, growth of the pollen tube through the stigma (the silk in maize) and concludes with fertilization of the female gametophyte....

Inferring Patterns and Processes of Emergence in Clonal Phytophthora Epidemics using Population Genomic Approaches

Creator:

Cauldron, Nicholas C.

Abstract:

Oomycete and fungal pathogens threaten food, fiber, and forests around the world. With climate change, these pathogens are expected to emerge more frequently. Evolution can facilitate their emergence through mechanisms such as mutations that change or expand host range. Characterizing evolutionary mechanisms in plant pathogens will contribute to our ability...
