Impacts of ponderosa pine forest restoration treatments on the ectomycorrhizal fungal community and fine root biomass in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Jane E. (Jane Elizabeth)
Abstract:: Before the arrival of Euro-Americans, the inland Pacific Northwest was settled by native people whose frequent intentional burning of the landscape promoted open stands dominated by large fire-resistant ponderosa pine. Fire suppression for nearly a century, livestock grazing, and logging of the largest trees has resulted in forests characterized by...

Community Ecology and Population Genomics of Rhizopogon in the Madrean Sky Island Archipelago

Creator:: Piña Páez, Carolina G.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic induced climate change is predicted to alter distribution of existing plant populations. As plants migrate over space and time, populations often fragment and contract, affecting basic elements of population dynamics (e.g., population size, gene flow, genetic diversity, etc.). Little is known, however, how these impacts on plant species will...

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...

Systematics of the genus Rhizopogon inferred from nuclear ribosomal DNA large subunit and internal transcribed spacer sequences

Creator:: Grubisha, Lisa C.
Abstract:: Rhizopogon is a hypogeous fungal genus that forms ectomycorrhizae with genera of the Pinaceae. The greatest number and species of Rhizopogon are found in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwestern United States, where members of the Pinaceae are also concentrated. Rhizopogon spp. are host-specific primarily with Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga...

Genome Organization in the Ectomycorrhizal Truffle Rhizopogon vesiculosus

Creator:: Lu, Dabao Sun
Abstract:: Rhizopogon vesiculosus is a common ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbiont of Pseudotusga menziesii (Douglas-fir) in the coast range of the Pacific Northwest. The species has been studied for its systematics, genet size, population structure, and competitive ability in several field and experimental studies. This thesis seeks to provide a more thorough characterization...

Characterization of fungal and bacterial communities associated with mat-forming ectomycorrhizal fungi from old-growth stands in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Hesse, Cedar N.
Abstract:: Mat-forming ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi represent a prevalent constituent of many temperate forest ecosystems and create dramatic changes in soil structure and chemistry. EcM mat soil have been shown to have increased microbial respiration rates and have been hypothesized to harbor unique assemblages of fungi and bacteria. The objectives of this...

Systematics of the genus Otidea in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Peterson, Eric T.
Abstract:: The fungal ascomycete genus Otidea as represented in the Pacific Northwest of North America includes eight well known species and two poorly-known species. Cladistic analysis utilizing characters from ribosomal DNA and morphology allowed the development of a robust phylogenetic species concept for Otidea. The combination of characters from the ribosomal...

Systematics, phylogeny, and biogeography of the hysterangiales and related taxa (Phallomycetidae, Homobasidiomycetes)

Creator:: Hosaka, Kentaro
Abstract:: Monophyly of the gomphoid-phalloid clade was confirmed based on multigene phylogenetic analyses. Four major subclades (Hysterangiales, Geastrales, Gomphales and Phallales) were also demonstrated to be monophyletic. The interrelationships among the subclades were, however, not resolved, and alternative topologies could not be rejected statistically. Nonetheless, most analyses showed that the Hysterangiales...

Secondary Metabolism in Tolypocladium : Characterization, Ecology, Evolution and Regulation

Creator:: Blount, Rheannon Rua
Abstract:: An increased understanding of secondary metabolism in fungi is important for both biological and societal reasons. The ascomycete genus, Tolypocladium, is an ideal system to explore secondary metabolism characterization, ecology, evolution and regulation. The genus produces and has the genomic potential to produce a wide array of metabolites. Paired with...
