Development and Application of Tools for Genetic Analysis of Clonal Populations

Creator:

Kamvar, Zhian N.

Abstract:

Research on the population genetics of microbial organisms requires the use of specialized analyses designed for clonal organisms to avoid violating the assumptions of traditional population genetic models. The tools necessary for performing these analyses existed as a set of unrelated software with non-overlapping capabilities and did not cover all...

Integration of Evolutionary Theory and Genomics to Understand Processes Involved in Host Adaptation and Divergence in Phytophthora Plant Pathogens

Creator:

Tabima, Javier F.

Abstract:

Modern plant pathology benefits from integrating methods and concepts from evolutionary biology. For example, evolutionary concepts are used to identify and examine species boundaries of plant pathogens, recognize processes underlying pathogen biogeography, identify traits that characterize emerging species, and discover new molecular interactions that originate under processes of selection. In...

Taxomony and mycorrhizal ecology of the desert truffles in the genus Terfezia

Creator:

Alsheikh, Abdulmagid M.

Abstract:

Mycorrhizal fungi in arid and semiarid rangelands have received little study in southwest Asia and north Africa, although they are important in food production and rangeland productivity. The desert truffles of the genera Terfezia and Tirmania form fruiting-bodies and mycorrhizae with rangeland plants. This thesis treats the taxonomy and the...
