Application of flow cytometry for exploring the evolution of Geosmithia fungi living in association with bark beetles: the role of conidial DNA content
Original language description
Geosmithia belongs among fungi living in symbiosis with phloem-feeding bark beetles. Several species have altered their ecology to that of obligatory symbiosis with ambrosia beetles, which has led to a shift in their phenotype and caused formation of large spherical conidia. In this study, we pose the following questions; (1) Is the conidial DNA content of Geosmithia correlated with conidial volume?; (2) Is the DNA content of Geosmithia related to the degree of mutual dependence between Geosmithia and their vector? There was a positive and strong correlation between conidial DNA content and conidial volume in Geosmithia. Also species more narrowly associated with the vector tend to have a larger conidial DNA content and volume than less narrowly associated species. Ambrosia fungi achieved the biggest conidial DNA content and volume compared to other species. We suppose that polyploidisation occurred during the evolution of ambrosia species in the genus Geosmithia. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd
