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...

Examination of the role host-selective toxins play in fungal-plant interactions

Creator:

Andrie, Rachael M.

Abstract:

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces multiple host-selective toxins (HSTs), including Ptr ToxA, encoded for by ToxA, Ptr ToxB, encoded for by ToxB, and Ptr ToxC. Variable distribution of these three HSTs among different isolates of P. tritici-repentis, both singularly and in all possible combinations, defines...
