Abstract:: Gymnomyces is an ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete genus in the family Russulaceae estimated to contain less than 50 species worldwide, with 23 species known to occur in the Pacific Northwest. Gymnomyces species are common in Pacific Northwest forests that include Pseudotsuga, Abies, Tsuga, and Quercus. They produce sequestrate (truffle-like) sporocarps with ornamented...

Abstract:: Ceratomyxa shasta infects salmonids in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America, occasionally causing losses in wild and captive populations. Host-specific parasite genotypes (O, I, II, III) were previously characterized molecularly using markers in the ribosomal DNA and phenotypically by type host in the Klamath River, CA/OR. This thesis sough...

Creator:: Brunner, Amy Marie
Abstract:: Because of their small genomes, facile clonal propagation, fast growth, and susceptibility to Agrobacterium transformation, poplars (genus Populus) are widely considered model systems for the application of molecular genetics and biotechnology in forestry. However, a major concern over commercial use of genetically engineered trees is the release of transgenes into...

Creator:: Criscione, Charles David
Abstract:: Parasites are unique study organisms for evolutionary ecologists. Yet, molecular ecology studies on parasites have lagged far behind those on free-living organisms. The goal of the review in Chapter 2 was to illustrate areas of research that may be of particular interest in relation to the parasitic life style and...
