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...

First Detection of the Larval Chalkbrood Disease Pathogen Ascosphaera apis (Ascomycota: Eurotiomycetes: Ascosphaerales) in Adult Bumble Bees

Creator:: Maxfield-Taylor, Sarah A., Mujic, Alija B., and Rao, Sujaya
Abstract:: Fungi in the genus Ascosphaera (Ascomycota: Eurotiomycetes: Ascosphaerales) cause chalkbrood disease in larvae of bees. Here, we report the first-ever detection of the fungus in adult bumble bees that were raised in captivity for studies on colony development. Wild queens of Bombus griseocollis, B. nevadensis and B. vosnesenskii were collected...

Rhizopogon togasawariana sp. nov., the first report of Rhizopogon associated with an Asian species of Pseudotsuga

Creator:: Mujic, Alija B., Hosaka, Kentaro, and Spatafora, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Rhizopogon subgenus Villosuli are the only members of the genus known to form an ectomycorrhizal relationship exclusively with Pseudotsuga. The specificity of this host relationship is unusual in that Rhizopogon is broadly associated with several tree genera within the Pinaceae and relationships with a host genus are typically distributed across...

Within-population genetic structure differs between two sympatric sister-species of ectomycorrhizal fungi, Rhizopogon vinicolor and R. vesiculosus

Creator:: Dunham, Susie M., Mujic, Alija Bajro, Spatafora, Joseph W., and Kretzer, Annette M.
Abstract:: Using spatial autocorrelation analysis, we examined the within-population genetic structure of Rhizopogon vinicolor and R. vesiculosus, two hypogeous ectomycorrhizal (EM) species that are sympatric sister taxa known to differ in their clonal structure. We collected 121 sporocarps and 482 tuberculate EM of both species from a 20 ha forest stand...

Genome Organization in the Ectomycorrhizal Truffle Rhizopogon vesiculosus

Creator:: Lu, Dabao Sun
Abstract:: Rhizopogon vesiculosus is a common ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbiont of Pseudotusga menziesii (Douglas-fir) in the coast range of the Pacific Northwest. The species has been studied for its systematics, genet size, population structure, and competitive ability in several field and experimental studies. This thesis seeks to provide a more thorough characterization...

Natural enemies of native bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in western Oregon

Creator:: Maxfield-Taylor, Sarah A.
Abstract:: Bumble bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) are important native pollinators in wild and agricultural systems, and are one of the few groups of native bees commercially bred for use in the pollination of a range of crops. In recent years, declines in bumble bees have been reported globally. One factor implicated in...

Australasian sequestrate fungi 18: Solioccasus polychromus gen. & sp. nov., a richly colored, tropical to subtropical, hypogeous fungus

Creator:: Trappe, James M., Castellano, Michael A., Halling, Roy E., Osmundson, Todd W., Binder, Manfred, Fechner, Nigel, and Malajczuk, Nicholas
Abstract:: Solioccasus polychromus gen. & sp. nov., the most brightly colored hypogeous fungus known, is described from Papua New Guinea and tropical northern Australia south into subtropical forests along the Queensland coast and coastal mountains to near Brisbane. Phylogenetic analysis of molecular data places it as a sister genus to Bothia...

Bacterial seed Endophytes of Douglas-fir and their potential to confer drought tolerance

Creator:: Hatwal, Shikhar
Abstract:: Bacterial endophytes have the potential to confer benefits to Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii ), for instance drought tolerance. Bacterial endophytes originating from seeds are especially important. This is because seed endophytes are more likely to be the first endophytes to get established within the young host plant. The goals of...

Fungal endophyte diversity in foliage of native and cultivated Rhododendron species determined by culturing, ITS sequencing, and pyrosequencing

Creator:: Raizen, Nathaniel L.
Abstract:: Western Oregon is home to native Rhododendron species and is the center for cultivated Rhododendron production in the United States. These Rhododendron spp. are known to be infected with fungal endophytes. However, the community structure of these endophytes in native and cultivated Rhododendron is poorly understood. Our study targeted the...

Metagenome sequence of Elaphomyces granulatus from sporocarp tissue reveals Ascomycota ectomycorrhizal fingerprints of genome expansion and a Proteobacteria-rich microbiome

Creator:: Quandt, C. Alisha, Kohler, Annegret, Hesse, Cedar N., Sharpton, Thomas J., Martin, Francis, and Spatafora, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Many obligate symbiotic fungi are difficult to maintain in culture, and there is a growing need for alternative approaches to obtaining tissue and subsequent genomic assemblies from such species. In this study, the genome of Elaphomyces granulatus was sequenced from sporocarp tissue. The genome assembly remains on many contigs, but...
