  • 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...

  • Fungal Secondary Metabolism of Basidiobolus meristosporus: a Novel Natural Product Reservoir

    Creator:
    Trautman, Ian A.
    Abstract:
    Secondary metabolites (SMs) play an integral role in the life history of most fungal species. Fungal metabolomic studies provide insights into how fungi perform certain ecological functions, how they compete and interact with other organisms, and the breadth of fungal chemodiversity. Fungal SMs have also been utilized for a variety...

  • Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

    Creator:
    Har, Skyler
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...
