Genomewide Identification Of Pseudomonas Syringae Pv.Tomato Dc3000 Promoters Controlled By The Hrpl Alternative Sigma Factor, Derrick E. Fouts, Robert B. Abramovitch, James R. Alfano, Angela M. Baldo, C. Robin Buell, Samuel Cartinhour, Arn K. Chatterjee, Mark D'Ascenzo, Michelle L. Gwinn, Sondra G. Lazarowitz, Na-Chun Lin, Gregory B. Martin, Amos H. Rehm, David J. Schneider, Karin V. Van Dijk, Xiaoyan Tang, Alan Collmer

Center for Plant Science Innovation: Faculty Publications

The ability of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 to parasitize tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana depends on genes activated by the HrpL alternative sigma factor. To support various functional genomic analyses of DC3000, and specifically, to identify genes involved in pathogenesis, we developed a draft sequence of DC3000 and used an iterative process involving computational and gene expression techniques to identify virulence-implicated genes downstream of HrpLresponsive promoters. Hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (Hrp) promoters are known to control genes encoding the Hrp (type III protein secretion) machinery and a few type III effector proteins in DC3000. This process involved (i) identification of …

Trichoptera And Other Macroinvertebrates In Springs Of The Great Basin: Species Composition, Richness, And Distribution, Marilyn J. Myers, Vincent H. Resh

Western North American Naturalist

Detailed surveys of aquatic invertebrates in 28 springs along the western border of the Great Basin were made using pan traps, emergence traps, black lights, and benthic sampling devices from 1994 to 1998. Although all macroinvertebrate groups were collected, caddisflies (Insecta: Trichoptera) were sampled most intensively. Fifty-eight species of caddisflies were collected from the 28 springs, with up to 18 species from a single spring. Although several springs had very similar physicochemical characteristics, none had identical trichopteran species composition. Using Wards minimum variance clustering technique, and with all macroinvertebrates identified to the lowest possible level, we found 3 taxa assemblages. …

Effect Of Soil Microtopography On Seed Bank Distribution In The Shrub-Steppe, Jere A. Boudell, Steven O. Link, Jeffrey R. Johansen

Western North American Naturalist

The relationship between soil surface cryptogamic crusts and seed banks was investigated in the shrubsteppe in the Lower Columbia Basin. Seventy-four percent of the seeds in a disturbed bunchgrass community were found in crevices bordering cryptogamic crust polygons. In a sagebrush/bunchgrass community, 89% of the seeds were found in crevices. In a disturbed bunchgrass community, Bromus tectorum seeds were found in both the seed bank and aboveground vegetation communities. Bromus tectorum seeds were located in the seed bank of a sagebrush/bunchgrass community, although it had a minor presence in the aboveground community. Seeds of Artemisia tridentata Nutt. were not found …

Ecological Genetics And The Translocation Of Native Fishes: Emerging Experimental Approaches, Craig A. Stockwell, Paul L. Leberg

Western North American Naturalist

Conservation biologists often use translocations to augment small populations, establish "refuge" populations, or reestablish populations into historic habitat. For reasons that are poorly understood, translocations often fail. Further, translocations have both short- and long-term consequences for the evolutionary ecology of the targeted taxa. Unfortunately, most information on translocations has been derived from descriptive studies. Recent experimental approaches have provided new data to address a variety of topics associated with translocations, including inbreeding, outbreeding, the relationship between heterozygosity and fitness, and rapid evolution in populations established by translocation. We focus on genetic and ecological aspects of translocations but recognize that contributions …

Invisible Invasion: Potential Contamination Of Yellowstone Hot Springs By Human Activity, Robert F. Lindstrom, Robert F. Ramaley, Richard L. Weiss Bizzoco

Western North American Naturalist

This report establishes a baseline inventory of microorganisms in acidic hot springs of Yellowstone National Park (YNP). The analysis is based on observations carried out over the past 25 years using light microscopy, DNA staining, and electron microscopy of environmental samples. The inventory, while incomplete in that not all organisms have been cultured or examined using genetic approaches, represents a study of several solfatara (acid sulfate) geyser basins in YNP. We found that the types of microorganisms in flowing springs had changed over time. In contrast, no such changes occurred in mixing pools. We solicited opinions of prominent YNP microbiologists …

Species Richness And California Voles In An Annual And A Perennial Grassland, Jeffrey S. Fehmi, James W. Bartolome

Western North American Naturalist

Populations of a common burrowing rodent, Microtus californicus (the California vole), thrive in ungrazed or lightly grazed grasslands in coastal California. Two sites ungrazed by livestock, one dominated by native perennial grasses and another dominated by invasive annuals, were evaluated over 2 consecutive years for the relationship between plant species richness and location of M. californicus burrow entrances (burrows). Plant species and burrows were sampled as present or absent in contiguous 1-m² quadrats on a 100-m² grid. Quadrats with burrows averaged significantly more plant species than quadrats without them (11.3 vs. 9.9 species, P < 0.001). Burrows found in 1996 were not correlated with species richness in 1995, suggesting that voles affect richness rather than seek it out. Vole burrow locations showed significant clumping on the annual site and trended toward clumping on the perennial site in both 1995 and 1996. Because voles seem to create a clumped pattern with their burrow entrances, the associated increase in plant species richness may have a strong effect on the overall structure of the plant community. A quantitative comparison of the 2 sites showed that the plant matrix of the perennial site contained flora of the annual site. This similarity in plant species composition may allow for similar treatment of our 2 types of sites and potentially other California grasslands. Undetected increases in vole populations with livestock grazing reduction may account for the erratic results from grasslands management research and the inconsistent success of derived management practices.

Status Of The Preston White River Springfish (Crenichthys Baileyi Albivallis), G. Gary Scoppettone, Peter H. Rissler

Western North American Naturalist

We determined the distribution and estimated population number of Preston White River springfish (Crenichthys baileyi albivallis) in summer 1998 and winter 1999. The total population was <5000 fish persisting in only 4 of 6 spring systems from which it had been previously captured. To improve its status, we recommend conservation measures.

Fertile Island Development Around Perennial Shrubs Across A Mojave Desert Chronosequence, John D. Bolling, Lawrence R. Walker

Western North American Naturalist

Spatial heterogeneity has been examined only recently as a factor in studies of ecosystem processes. The effect of this factor on desert organisms is exemplified in the "fertile island" a concentration of essential soil nutrients under perennial shrubs. In this study we examined fertile island patterns in undisturbed desert areas and on abandoned roadways to see at what rate and magnitude these fertile patches reappeared after disturbance. Small-scale examination of patterns of soil P, organic matter, moisture, and bulk density showed that soils beneath Larrea tridentata (DC.) Cov. shrubs on the roads lacked the tight circular gradient in these variables …
