Abstract:
We characterized 23 isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Aschersonia spp. from Mexico, Brazil, Guyana, Trinidad, Venezuela, Columbia, Florida, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Java and South India using RAPD markers. The data were used to compute the genetic variability and to reconstruct the phylogeny of the genus Aschersonia. Relative genetic distances varied from 0.018 (between isolates Aa2 and Ap2) to 0.445 (between isolates A1 and At1). In the constructed phylogenetic tree, isolates were clustered according to their geographical origin. We determined partial 26S ribosomal DNA sequences of five Aschersonia isolates (A28, A31, Ai1a, Ai2b – Aschersonia spp.; and Ap1– Aschersonia placenta) and used them for phylogenetic analysis. Three of the tested isolates were not distinguishable. The tree constructed indicated that isolates Ai1a and Ai2b belong to species distinct from A. placenta and A. aleyrodis.

Abstract:
Current hypotheses of the phyletic relationships in the genus Festuca and generic segregates, as expressed in classification systems, were tested using molecular data (DNA restriction endonuclease site variation of the chloroplast and nuclear genomes). Taxa native or introduced to North America were used as exemplars for seven subgenera: Drymanthele, Subulatae, Subuliflorae, Obtusae, Schedonorus, Leucopoa sensu lato (sections Leucopoa and Breviaristatae) and Festuca; and four generic segregates: Leucopoa sensu stricto (section Leucopoa), Argillochloa, Vulpia and Lolium. Cladistic analysis of 67 shared, polymorphic chloroplast DNA restriction sites (11 endonucleases) indicated that Festuca and subgeneric taxa, as circumscribed in morphologically based classifications, are polyphyletic. Phenetic analysis of 108 polymorphic chloroplast DNA restriction sites (11 endonucleases) and nuclear ribosomal DNA restriction fragment patterns (12 endonucleases) supported the results of the cladistic analysis. Two main evolutionary lines were indicated within the genus Festuca as presently constructed. One contained the vast majority of the genus Festuca exemplars, including the subgenera Drymanthele, Subulatae, Subuliflorae, Obtusae and Festuca, as well as Vulpia, Argillochloa and subgenus Leucopoa section Breviaristatae. The other lineage included subgenus Schedonorus, subgenus Leucopoa section Leucopoa and the genus Lolium. Analyses support the recognition of four related genera in the two lineages, Vulpia and Festuca (including subgenus Leucopoa section Breviaristatae, and the subgenera Drymanthele, Subulatae, Subuliflorae, Obtusae, and Festuca) in one and Leucopoa sensu stricto (including only section Leucopoa) and Lolium (including Festuca subgenus Schedonorus) in the other, respectively. The recognition of the monotypic generic segregate Argillochloa (= Festuca dasyclada) is not supported by the analyses.

Abstract:
Methane (CH4) is the major chemical component of natural gas, as well as a particularly potent greenhouse gas. Methanogens are the archaeal organisms that produce methane and play a key role in biological methanogenesis. A total of six taxonomic orders of archaeal methanogens have been discovered and almost all previous phylogenetics studies have confirmed that these methanogens are genetically diversified and do not belong to a phylogenetically monophyletic group. To date, the relationships between methanogens and closely related non-methanogen species at the taxonomic order level remain unresolved and different studies have often produced contradictory results based on different gene markers. These studies suggest the complicated and distinct evolutionary histories between different genes in these genomes. In this thesis, 74 fully sequenced archaeal genomes, including 41 methanogens, were collected and used in a comprehensive comparative genomics and evolutionary analysis. First, numerous phylogenomic trees were reconstructed based on various datasets using several methods and the results show that Methanopyrales is close to Methanobacteriales (or Methanopyrales) in the statistically best species tree. In addition, Methnocellales and Methanosarcinales, and as well as Methanomicrobiales and Halobacteriales are sister clades in the best species tree, but the confidence level is low. Further incongruence tests among the phylogenetic forest, which is composed of 3,694 ortholog gene families, reveal that the archaeal core genes have much stronger consistent vertical evolutionary signals than other genes, but these core genes are not topologically fully congruent with each other. Secondly, a series of weighted network analyses were implemented to decompose the hierarchical structure and to reveal the co-evolved gene modules, global and local features in the archaeal methanogen phylogenetic forest. The results show that this co-evolution network contains 7 statistical robust modules, and the module with the highest average node strength includes the majority of the core genes located in the central position of the network. Further in-depth evolutionary analysis reveals that the modularized evolution in the archaeal phylogenetic forest is closely related to the time of origin, HGT rate and ubiquitous vertical inheritance in gene families. Lastly, to investigate the causes for and factors related to the pervasive topology incongruence in the phylogenetic forest, in-depth clanistics analysis and HGT detection were carried out. These results show that (1) about 63% of gene families experienced at least 1 HGT event in their whole history; (2) core genes are not immune to HGT but they do have much lower HGT rates than other genes; (3) methanogens have distinct trends of HGTs from non-methanogen species; and (4) highly frequent inter-order HGTs, even for core genes, in methanogen genomes lead to their scrambled phylogenetic relationships. Further clanistics analysis screened out 119 candidate genes related to methanogenic pathways adaptation and most of these gene families have experienced at least one HGT. In conclusion, a complex evolutionary scenario for methanogenic archaeal species was described in this thesis as a combination of complicated vertical and non-vertical evolutionary processes in a modularized phylogenetic forest.

Abstract:
Includes bibliography.
The subfamily Arundinoideae has long been considered to be an unnatural assemblage of genera, the relationships of which are obscure or unknown. Because morphological and anatomical data have, to date, been unable to elucidate relationships among these genera, sequence data from two chloroplast genes are used to elucidate relationships among 33 arundinoid genera. Sequence data from the variable, grass-specific insert in the rpoC2 gene is used to determine the relationships among 73 grass species from all currently recognised subfamilies. Phylogenetic analysis of this sequence data required the development of specialised alignment techniques based on testing assumptions of positional homology. Results of the analyses based on these alignments suggest that the Arundinoideae is divisible into four lineages, corresponding approximately to the tribes Danthonieae, Arundineae, Aristideae and Thysanolaeneae. Several arundinoid representatives are placed in other subfamilies. The rpoC2 sequence data was too variable to elucidate relationships at the tribal and subfamilial level. For this purpose, sequence data of the highly conserved rbcL gene was obtained from 22 taxa selected from the lineages identified by the rpoC2 study. Phylogenetic analysis of a total of 36 sequences resolved some of the relationships of the major clades, but other relationships were poorly supported. In an attempt to improve the resolution of these major clades, the rpoC2 and rbcL data sets were combined with restriction site data. These three data sets were analysed in a variety of combinations using both data combination and tree consensus methods to assess support of the phylogenetic relationships. Despite this, the resolution of the relationships among the Arundineae, Danthonieae, Aristideae and Chloridoideae was not resolved with any finality, although a (Arundineae (Danthonieae (Aristideae, Chloridoideae))) relationship is proposed as being most likely. The molecular phylogeny implies that eight grass subfamilies should be recognised. Two of these, the Danthonioideae and Aristidoideae, are new and the Arundinoideae is redelimited. Furthermore, new tribes in the subfamilies Centothecoideae (Thysanolaeneae) and Chloridoideae (Centropodieae) are proposed to accommodate lineages and taxa misplaced in the subfamily Arudinoideae as previously delimited.

Full text
Abstract:
Intraspecies identification (DNA "fingerprinting") of pathogenic avian mycoplasmas is a powerful tool for epidemiological studies and monitoring strain identity. However the only widely method available for Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and M. synoviae (MS)wasrandom amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). This project aimed to develop alternative and supplementary typing methods that will overcome the major constraints of RAPD, such as the need for isolation of the organism in pure culture and the lack of reproducibility intrinsic in the method. Our strategy focussed on recognition of molecular markers enabling identification of MG and MS vaccine strains and, by extension, pathogenic potential of field isolates. Our first aim was to develop PCR-based systems which will allow amplification of specific targeted genes directly from clinical material. For this purpose we evaluated the degree of intraspecies heterogeneity in genes encoding variable surface antigens uniquely found in MG all of which are putative pathogenicity factors. Phylogenic analysis of targeted sequences of selected genes (pvpA, gapA, mgc2, and lp) was employed to determine the relationship among MG strains.. This method, designated gene targeted sequencing (GTS), was successfully employed to identify strains and to establish epidemiologically-linked strain clusters. Diagnostic PCR tests were designed and validated for each of the target genes, allowing amplification of specific nucleotide sequences from clinical samples. An mgc2-PCR-RFLP test was designed for rapid differential diagnosis of MG vaccine strains in Israel. Addressing other project goals, we used transposon mutagenesis and in vivo and in vitro models for pathogenicity to correlated specific changes in target genes with biological properties that may impact the course of infection. An innovative method for specific detection and typing of MS strains was based on the hemagglutinin-encoding gene vlhA, uniquely found in this species. In parallel, we evaluated the application of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) in avian mycoplasmas. AFLP is a highly discriminatory method that scans the entire genome using infrequent restriction site PCR. As a first step the method was found to be highly correlated with other DNA typing methods for MG species and strain differentiation. The method is highly reproducible and relatively rapid, although it is necessary to isolate the strain to be tested. Both AFLP and GTS are readily to amenable to computer-assisted analysis of similarity and construction of a data-base resource. The availability of improved and diverse tools will help realize the full potential of molecular typing of avian mycoplasmas as an integral and essential part of mycoplasma control programs.
