Genome-enabled discovery and characterization of type III effector-encoding genes of plant symbiotic bacteria

Creator:

Kimbrel, Jeffrey A.

Abstract:

Symbiosis is the close and protracted interaction between organisms. The molecular interactions that occur during symbiosis are complex with multiple barriers that must be overcome. Many Gram-negative, host-associated bacteria use a type III secretion system to mediate associations with their eukaryotic hosts. This secretion system is a specialized apparatus for...

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...

Characterization of the pathogenicity and phylogeny of members of the Rhodococcus genus

Creator:

Creason, Allison L.

Abstract:

Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...
