Name(s): Creator (cre): Nguyen, Hai, Thesis advisor (ths): Emery, R.J. Neil, Degree committee member (dgc): Saville, Barry, Degree committee member (dgc): Kisiala, Anna, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Phytohormones, Cytokinin (CK) and Abscisic acid (ABA), are best known for controlling plant growth and stress responses; but they also mediate various developmental perspectives in alga. Yet, their mode of action in algal adaptive strategies to heavy metal responses, their involvement in orchestration of phytohormone crosstalk remain largely unknown and a molecular framework of… more

Assessing the environmental correlates of a lethal amphibian pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in Ontario wetlands

Name(s): Creator (cre): Congram, Meg, Thesis advisor (ths): Murray, Dennis, Degree committee member (dgc): Saville, Barry, Degree committee member (dgc): Lesbarrères, David, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Many emerging infectious diseases are caused by pathogens that possess free-living life stages, in which they interact with the environment directly rather than through the mediation of a host. These diseases represent major impediments to wildlife conservation; however, the dynamics of their interaction with the environment are poorly studied, often due to the difficulty of detecting… more

Fungal pathogen emergence: an Ustilago maydis x Sporisorium reilianum model

Name(s): Creator (cre): Storfie, Emilee, Thesis advisor (ths): Saville, Barry, Degree committee member (dgc): Donaldson, Michael, Degree committee member (dgc): Huber, Robert, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>The emergence of fungal hybrid pathogens threatens sustainable crop production worldwide. To investigate hybridization, the related smut fungi, Ustilago maydis and Sporisorium reilianum, were selected because they infect a common host (Zea mays), can hybridize, and tools are available for their analysis. Hybrid dikaryons exhibited filamentous growth on plates but reduced virulence and… more
