  • Systematic, genomic, and transcriptomic analysis of mycoparasitic Tolypocladium species and their Elaphomyces hosts

    Creator:
    Quandt, C. Alisha
    Abstract:
    Fungi in the genus Tolypocladium are diverse in their host associations, but the predominant ecologies include parasites of the ectomycorrhizal genus Elaphomyces and pathogens of insects. The aim of this dissertation research is to examine the evolution of these fungi and their host associations. To accomplish this several lines of...

  • Toward a flexible and accurate approach to null network sampling

    Creator:
    Bright, Zachary A.
    Abstract:
    Null networks are a type of random graph that is favored for the analysis of a wide variety of real-world networks, including gene-regulatory networks, food webs, and species co-occurrence matrices. As a hypothesis-generating tool, null networks are invaluable because they can reveal network motifs and unusual large-scale properties of networks...

  • Role of GacSA Two-component System and Bacterial Surface Attachment in Pseudomonas syringae Virulence

    Creator:
    O'Malley, Megan R.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas syringae are plant pathogenic bacteria that cause disease by rapidly multiplying within the aboveground tissues of host plants. Growth of P. syringae within plant host tissues requires the disarmament of host immune defenses that limit microbial growth. To combat host defenses, P. syringae deploys a type III secretion system...

  • Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities Across Three Tropical Rainforests in Panama

    Creator:
    Schappe, Tyler
    Abstract:
    Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...
