Patterns of herbivory and fungal infection in experimental Louisiana Iris hybrids
Background: The consequences of hybridization vary depending on the fitness of hybrids and pure species plants. Herbivory and fungal infection may affect fitness and often differ in their effect on hybrid versus pure-species genotypes. Questions: Do herbivory and fungal infection rates differ between pure species and hybrids? What is the underlying genetic basis of resistance to herbivory and f...
متن کاملTesting the ‘Hybrid Susceptibility’ and ‘Phenological Sink’ Hypotheses Using the P. balsamifera – P. deltoides Hybrid Zone and Septoria Leaf Spot [Septoria musiva]
Hybrid genotypes that arise between plant species frequently have increased susceptibility to arthropod pests and fungal pathogens. This pattern has been attributed to the breakdown of plant defenses ('Hybrid susceptibility' hypothesis) and (or) to extended periods of susceptibility attributed to plant phenologies in zones of species overlap and (or) hybridization ('phenological sink' hypothesi...
متن کاملHybrid sterility and inviability in the parasitic fungal species complex Microbotryum.
Microbotryum violaceum, the anther-smut fungus, forms a complex of sibling species which specialize on different plants. Previous studies have shown the presence of partial ecological isolation and F1 inviability, but did not detect assortative mating apart from a high selfing rate. We investigated other post-mating barriers and show that F1 hybrid sterility, the inability of gametes to mate, i...
متن کاملMaximized virulence in a sterilizing pathogen: the anther-smut fungus and its co-evolved hosts.
Host sterilization is a common feature of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Because host reproductive failure may free up resources for pathogen reproduction and transmission, theory predicts that selection on sterilizing pathogens will favour maximum virulence (i.e. complete sterilization). We examined patterns of infection in sexually transmitted anther-smut fungi (Microbotryum) on four o...
متن کاملStudy the Performance of Hybrid Constructed Wetland with Pumice Substrate and Vetiver Plants in Urban Wastewater Treatment
One of the ways to reduce the amount of wastewater pollution is the use of constructed wetlands. In this research, the performance of a hybrid constructed wetland with pumice ore and vetiver plant on urban wastewater has been investigated. Hybrid wetlands with these specifications were constructed in the vicinity of wastewater treatment at the Isfahan University of Technology. To evaluate the p...
