  • Systematics of the genus Torrubiella

    Creator:
    Johnson, Desiree M.
    Abstract:
    Torrubiella is a genus of entomopathogenic fungi in the Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Species of the genus produce superficial perithecia on a loose mat of hyphae that forms directly on the host. The genus is estimated to contain about 70 species. Torrubiella is hypothesized to be a close relative of Cordyceps because...

  • Symbiosis in the Pacific Ring of Fire : evolutionary-biology of Rhizopogon subgenus Villosuli as mutualists of Pseudotsuga

    Creator:
    Mujic, Alija Bajro
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon is a large genus of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi that grows in association with host trees of the family Pinaceae. We have conducted a series of studies investigating the ecology and evolutionary biology of the EM symbiosis shared between R. subgenus Villosuli and trees of the genus Pseudotsuga. Two members...

  • 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...
