COMPARATIVE GENOMICS OF CHEMOSENSORY GENE FAMILIES AMONG MEMBERS OF THE HELIOTHINAE
… because they are closely related but show pheromone-based sexual isolation and divergent host plant preferences. My dissertation focuses on the development of genomic tools that enable investigation into genetic mechanisms of host plant and mate recognition, and applies these tools to …

Die frühe Infektionsphase von Ustilago maydis
… loci a and b. The a-locus encodes a biallelic pheromone/pheromone receptor system which is responsible for cell-cell recognition and fusion of the sporidia. The subsequent pathogenic development is controlled by the multiallelic b-locus, encoding two homeodomain proteins, bW and bE. After …

Structure and activation of the class D GPCR dimer Ste2
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are eukaryotic membrane proteins that perform a broad range of cell signalling functions and are targets for approximately one-third of all FDA- approved drugs. GPCRs are divided phylogenetically into six classes, A-F. Over 700 structures of mammalian GPCRs …

Sex in Cryptococcus: Signaling, Mating-type Locus Evolution and Gene Silencing
… of the MAT locus and molecular dissection of the pheromone signaling pathway that controls sexual development. Two MAT-linked meiotic recombination hotspots that likely drove the assembly and rearrangement of MAT were identified. Fine mapping through the integration of genetic markers established …

Chemical communication in a declining North American anuran amphibian, the northern leopard frog (lithobates pipiens)
… anuran behavioral responses. Additionally, chemoreceptor (CR) genes have only been identified for Xenopus species with no previous identifications for any other adult anuran species. Here, I examine the evolutionary and functional implications of northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens) CRs, …
