Seeking sacred sequences: A comparative population-genetic analysis of Ficus religiosa chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA

Creator:: Pal, Sushovita
Abstract:: Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are often used for the study of plant genetics and evolution. Plastid and mitochondrial genome sequences have allowed us to investigate plant evolution on a genetic level to infer molecular evolutionary rates, population-genetic processes, co-evolutionary phenomena, and numerous evolutionary questions and hypotheses. Ficus...

Evolutionary Dynamics of Genomes and Endosymbionts in Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

Creator:: Wasala, Wasala Mudiyanselage Sulochana K.
Abstract:: Plant-parasitic nematodes cause more than US $100 billion in annual agriculture loss worldwide. Thorough knowledge of their genetic diversity, and interactions with endosymbionts and environment have the potential to provide valuable insights into the basic biology of these animals, and assist future efforts aimed at management of these plant parasites....

Orbiting the Genus of False Units: Dynamics of Phage Genomes and Nematode Microbiomes Associated with Pseudomonas spp.

Creator:: Ha, Anh D.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas is a diverse, ubiquitous, and widely studied genus of bacteria. As Pseudomonas species occupy a wide range of niches in the ecosystem, they have made remarkable biological impacts. Better understanding of Pseudomonas biology, genetic diversity, and functional interactions with other organisms and the environment will provide valuable insights into...

16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing Reveals Trends in Marine Bacterial Diversity and Taxonomic Composition in Natural and Human-built Systems

Creator:: Morelan, Ian A.
Abstract:: Bacteria are abundant in marine environments. They play important roles in nutrient cycling and form symbiotic interactions with eukaryotes. However, the vast majority of bacterial taxa are difficult to maintain in laboratory cultures, meaning that most microbiological research of the past century has focused on a small subset of bacteria....

Evolutionary Insights into Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis from Natural Variation in Aiptasia Sea Anemones

Creator:: Bellis, Emily S.
Abstract:: Mutualistic associations between corals and symbiotic microalgae of the genus Symbiodium power tropical reef ecosystems, hotspots of marine biodiversity that buffer coastlines, support tourism- and fisheries-based economies, and offer untapped potential for discovery of novel pharmaceutical compounds. However, reef ecosystems are declining at an alarming rate, in large part due...

Evolutionary Genomic Responses to Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Caenorhabditis elegans

Creator:: Wernick, Riana I.
Abstract:: Understanding the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction on genome evolution has the potential not only to provide new insights on the basic evolutionary processes influencing mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, but may also reveal novel avenues for evolutionary adaptive recovery from harmful mutations. Aberrant mitochondrial activity is fundamental to the pathology of...

The genus Caenorhabditis : a system for testing evolutionary questions

Creator:: Raboin, Michael J.
Abstract:: Caenorhabditis elegans is arguably the best understood animal on the planet. Used for over 50 years to study development, we have a vast amount of knowledge of the inner workings of this worm. Our knowledge is incomplete, however, without placing this organism in its evolutionary and ecological context. In this...

Coevolution of Xiphinema americanum plant parasitic nematodes and their bacterial endosymbionts

Creator:: Smith, McKinley S.
Abstract:: Symbiosis takes place across the domains of life. In the plant-parasitic nematode, Xiphinema americanum species complex, the bacterial endosymbiont, identified as Candidatus Xiphinematobacter americanum, lives in the gut epithelia of mature female nematodes and moves to the ovaries and uterus where it is transmitted to the eggs. This suggests that...

The accumulation of mitochondrial DNA deletions as Caenorhabditis elegans ages

Creator:: Thompson, Emily J.
Abstract:: Though previous genetic research studies performed on Caenorhabditis elegans found that high levels of endogenous oxidative stress resulted in decreased health, and that mitochondrial DNA deletions accumulated with age in these organisms, no studies have been conducted to link these two separate findings. This study correlated these separate results by...

The Effects of Vitamin E on the Lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans Strains with Mitochondrial Mutations

Creator:: Kusuma, Danika N.
Abstract:: Although assays have been done on the effects of vitamin E alpha-tocopherol (ɑ-tocopherol) on the lifespan of wildtype C. elegans, none have been done on the effects of the vitamin on mutant strains with mitochondrial mutations. By using a mev-1 genetic mutant strain of C. elegans with higher levels of...
