A novel application of RNase H2-dependent quantitative PCR for detection and quantification of Grosmannia clavigera, a mountain pine beetle fungal symbiont, in environmental samples
Download2018-01-01
McAllister, Chandra H., Fortier, Colleen E., St Onge, Kate R., Sacchi, Bianca M., Nawrot, Meaghan J., Locke, Troy, Cooke, Janice EK
Mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins; MPB) is an economically and ecologically important pest of pine species in western North America. Mountain pine beetles form complex multipartite relationships with microbial partners, including the ophiostomoid fungi Grosmannia clavigera...

Alamouti, Sepideh Massoumi, Haridas, Sajeet, Feau, Nicolas, Robertson, Gordon, Bohlmann, Jorg, Breuil, Colette
Studies on beetle/tree fungal symbionts typically characterize the ecological and geographic distributions of the fungal populations. There is limited understanding of the genome-wide evolutionary processes that act within and between species as such fungi adapt to different environments, leading...

Fine-scale genetic diversity and relatedness in fungi associated with the mountain pine beetle
Download2019-01-01
Tsui, Clement K. M., Beauseigle, Stephanie, Ojeda Alayon, Dario I., Rice, Adrianne V., Cooke, Janice E. K., Sperling, Felix A. H., Roe, Amanda D., Hamelin, Richard C.
The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, 1902) forms beneficial symbiotic associations with fungi. Here we explored the fine-scale spatial genetic structure of three of those fungi using single nucleotide polymorphism. We found that single mated pairs of beetles carry not...

Resource allocation, water relations and crown architecture examined at the tree and stand-level in northern conifers
DownloadFall 2013
Variation in quantity of light has driven plants to employ many strategies in order to persist in high and low light. It is also a primary driver of lower branch mortality and crown recession. Fine roots and leaves are complimentary tissues representing belowground and aboveground resource...

The impact of phloem nutrients on overwintering mountain pine beetles and their fungal symbionts
Download2012
Erbilgin, N., Goodsman, D. W., Lieffers, V. J.
In the low nutrient environment of conifer bark, subcortical beetles often carry symbiotic fungi that concentrate nutrients in host tissues. Although bark beetles are known to benefit from these symbioses, whether this is because they survive better in nutrient-rich phloem is unknown. After...
