TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a whole genome shotgun approach relying on next generation sequence generated from a single haploid seed megagametophyte from a loblolly pine tree, 20-1010, that has been used in industrial forest tree breeding.

Walter Lorenz,Ross W. Whetten,Nicholas C. Wheeler,Patrick E. McGuire,Carol A. Loopstra,Keithanne Mockaitis,Pieter J,Steven L. Salzberg,Charles H. Langley +20 more
TL;DR: A novel strategy to sequence the genome of loblolly pine that combines unique aspects of pine reproductive biology and genome assembly methodology is developed, demonstrating a novel approach to sequencing the large and complex genomes of this important group of plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of genome size and complexity in Pinus.
Alison M. Morse,Daniel G. Peterson,M. Nurul Islam-Faridi,Katherine E. Smith,Zenaida V. Magbanua,Saul A. Garcia,Thomas L. Kubisiak,H. V. Amerson,John E. Carlson,C. Dana Nelson,John M. Davis +10 more
TL;DR: Most of the enormous genome complexity of pines can be explained by divergence of retrotransposons, however the elements responsible for genome size variation are yet to be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Duplications and losses in gene families of rust pathogens highlight putative effectors
Amanda L. Pendleton,Katherine E. Smith,Nicolas Feau,Francis Martin,Igor V. Grigoriev,Richard C. Hamelin,C. Dana Nelson,J. Gordon Burleigh,John M. Davis +8 more
TL;DR: This study uses a comparative genomic approach to elucidate putative effectors and determine their evolutionary histories, using OrthoMCL to identify nearly 20,000 gene families in proteomes of 16 diverse fungal species, and identifies families with distinctive patterns of expansion/contraction associated with the evolution of rust fungal genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships among wood‐boring beetles, fungi, and the decomposition of forest biomass
James Skelton,Michelle A. Jusino,Michelle A. Jusino,Paige S. Carlson,Katherine E. Smith,Katherine E. Smith,Mark T. Banik,Daniel L. Lindner,Jonathan M. Palmer,Jiri Hulcr +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate ambrosia beetles introduce diverse fungal communities that do not extensively decay wood, but instead reduce decay rates by competing with wood decay fungi.
