Ophiostoma clavigerum is the Mycangial Fungus of the Jeffrey Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus jeffreyi
Dendroctonus jeffreyi and D. ponderosae are sibling species of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) with few morphological and molecular genetic differences. The two species are believed to have diverged relatively recently. Dendroctonus jeffreyi colonizes only Pinus jeffreyi, while D. ponderosae colonizes up to thirteen Pinus spp., but not P. jeffreyi. Adult beetles of both D. jeffreyi and D....
متن کاملIsolation and endocrine regulation of an HMG-CoA synthase cDNA from the male Jeffrey pine beetle, Dendroctonus jeffreyi (Coleoptera: Scolytidae).
We have isolated a full length 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase (HMG-S) cDNA from the male Jeffrey pine beetle, Dendroctonus jeffreyi Hopkins, and studied the effects of topical applications of juvenile hormone III (JH III) on its expression. The predicted translation product of this apparently single copy gene has 63% and 58% identity with HMG-S1 and HMG-S2 from Blattella germani...
متن کاملLeptographium pyrinum is a Mycangial Fungus of Dendroctonus adjunctus
Several species of Dendroctonus (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) have cuticular invaginations, or mycangia, in the integument which are specialized for carrying specific symbiotic fungi. The mycangium of Dendroctonus adjunctus, located under a callus that surrounds the prothorax, has been recognized but the mycangial fungus has not yet been identified. Fungi from mycangia of Dendroctonus adjunctus were...
متن کاملGeneration and annotation of lodgepole pine and oleoresin-induced expressed sequences from the blue-stain fungus Ophiostoma clavigerum, a Mountain Pine Beetle-associated pathogen.
Ophiostoma clavigerum is a destructive pathogen of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests in western North America. It is therefore a relevant system for a genomics analysis of fungi vectored by bark beetles. To begin characterizing molecular interactions between the pathogen and its conifer host, we created an expressed sequence tag (EST) collection for O. clavigerum. Lodgepole pine sawdust a...
متن کاملDetection of Host Habitat by Parasitoids Using Cues Associated With Mycangial Fungi of the Mountain Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae
Cues used by parasitoids to detect habitat of the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), were investigated by observing parasitoid attraction to logs infested with D. ponderosae, logs inoculated with one or both of the symbiotic fungi of D. ponderosae (Grosmannia clavigera (Rob.-Jeffr. & R.W. Davidson) Zipfel, Z.W. de Beer & M.J. Wingf. (Ophiostomatac...
