AUGUST 10–14, 2019, Minneapolis, MN | 13 MSA 2019 / KARLING LECTURE Dr. Hanna Johannesson Upsalla University, Sweden
CONFLICT AS A MOTOR FOR EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE: INSIGHTS FROM THE FUNGAL GENOMES
Hanna Johannesson is a Professor in Evolutionary genetics at Uppsala University, Sweden. She was recruited as an Assistant professor at Uppsala University in 2005, after fnishing a PhD degree at the Swedish Agricultural University and a post-doctoral stint at University of California, Berkeley. Hanna’s research interest lies in the interface between mycology and evolutionary biology. In particular, she is interested in using fungi as models to explore general evolutionary questions such as natural selection operating at multiple levels in the biological hierarchy, the causes and consequences of symbioses, and switches in reproductive mode.

Abstract In fungi, meiotic drive is observed as spore killing. In Neurospora, it is apparent from the abortion of four of eight spores in the ascus, while in the pseudohomothallic Podospora it is characterized by the abortion of two of the four spores. In our laboratory, we use a combination of genetics, genomics, and molecular evolution approaches to investigate the causes and consequences of spore killing in these two systems. We fnd that the genetic bases of spore killing vary from large multigene loci to single genes. We see that in Neurospora, only one spore killer is found in each species, while in Podospora multiple drive elements are found to coexist in the same population. In both Neurospora and Podospora, spore killer genes are being introgressed between species, and while the multigene loci have a signifcant impact on chromosome structure, the single gene drivers are dispersing by duplication within genomes.

AUGUST 10–14, 2019, Minneapolis, MN | 45 VISITOR INFORMATION
Those who have time between conference sessions will fnd a variety of fun and interesting things to see and do. Restaurants, for example: looking beyond hotdish, lutefsk, and food on a stick, you’ll fnd James Beard Award-winning chefs and locally owned restaurants that advocate and enact sustainable, local food production residing beside eateries that proudly refuse to do so. World-class museums and theaters including the Walker Art Center and Guthrie Theater compete with dozens of local art and performance venues such as the Minnesota Center for Book Arts and Jungle Theater. We also know how to get around: in 2010, Bicycling Magazine voted Minneapolis the country’s most bikeable city, which is not too shabby for a city that endures (celebrates) seven-month-long winters. We are also serious about our sports teams. In spring this means the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota United FC, and the St. Paul Saints. Attendees joined by families will appreciate the Twin Cities’ many picturesque parks and canoe-friendly lakes, the Science Museum, the Bakken Museum (electricity!), the nearby Mill City Museum (flour!), and the Children’s Museum. And yes, we also have the Mall of America. More information can be found at:
