    ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT TOOLS FOR ORYCTES RHINOCEROS (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRAUDATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TROPICAL PLANT PATHOLOGY MAY 2019 By Brandi-Leigh H. Adams Thesis Committee: Michael Melzer, Chairperson Zhiqiang Cheng Brent Sipes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is with deep gratitude that I thank the members of my committee, Dr. Michael Melzer, Dr. Zhiqiang Cheng, and Dr. Brent Sipes for their expert advice and knowledge, to which I have constantly deferred to during my time as a graduate student. A very special thank you goes to Dr. Michael Melzer, who took me in as an undergraduate lab assistant, and saw enough potential in me that he felt I deserved the opportunity to learn, travel, and grow under his guidance. I would also like to give special thanks to Dr. Shizu Watanabe, who always made time to answer even the smallest, most O.C.D. of my questions, who gave me words of encouragement when experiments did not go as planned or when I would find myself in doubt, and who has become a mentor and friend along the way. To my very first mentors in science; Dr. Wendy Kuntz, Dr. Matthew Tuthill, and Keolani Noa; thank you for encouraging me to pursue a major and career in STEM in the first place. I would also like to thank my lab mates, Nelson Masang Jr., Alexandra Kong, Alejandro Olmedo Velarde, Tomie Vowell, Asoka De Silva, Megan Manley, Jarin Loristo, and Cheyenne Barela for their support with experiments, and the knowledge and skills they have passed on to me.

  • Genetic Content and Evolution of Adenoviruses Andrew J
    Journal of General Virology (2003), 84, 2895–2908 DOI 10.1099/vir.0.19497-0 Review Genetic content and evolution of adenoviruses Andrew J. Davison,1 Ma´ria Benko´´ 2 and Bala´zs Harrach2 Correspondence 1MRC Virology Unit, Institute of Virology, Church Street, Glasgow G11 5JR, UK Andrew Davison 2Veterinary Medical Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-1581 Budapest, [email protected] Hungary This review provides an update of the genetic content, phylogeny and evolution of the family Adenoviridae. An appraisal of the condition of adenovirus genomics highlights the need to ensure that public sequence information is interpreted accurately. To this end, all complete genome sequences available have been reannotated. Adenoviruses fall into four recognized genera, plus possibly a fifth, which have apparently evolved with their vertebrate hosts, but have also engaged in a number of interspecies transmission events. Genes inherited by all modern adenoviruses from their common ancestor are located centrally in the genome and are involved in replication and packaging of viral DNA and formation and structure of the virion. Additional niche-specific genes have accumulated in each lineage, mostly near the genome termini. Capture and duplication of genes in the setting of a ‘leader–exon structure’, which results from widespread use of splicing, appear to have been central to adenovirus evolution. The antiquity of the pre-vertebrate lineages that ultimately gave rise to the Adenoviridae is illustrated by morphological similarities between adenoviruses and bacteriophages, and by use of a protein-primed DNA replication strategy by adenoviruses, certain bacteria and bacteriophages, and linear plasmids of fungi and plants.

We especially focus on suc- cessful ability to evolutionarily adapt in the face of environmental change. Viruses are often challenged by dynamic environments, such as host immune function and evolved resistance as well as abiotic fluctuations in temperature, moisture, and other stressors that reduce virion stability. Despite these chal- lenges, our experimental evolution studies show that viruses can often readily adapt, and novel virus emergence in humans and other hosts is increasingly problematic. We additionally consider whether viruses are advantaged in evolvability—the capacity to evolve—and in avoidance of extinction. On the basis of these different ways of gauging biological success, we conclude that viruses are the most successful inhabitants of the biosphere.

  • Tically Expands Our Understanding on Virosphere in Temperate Forest Ecosystems
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 21 June 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202106.0526.v1 Review Towards the forest virome: next-generation-sequencing dras- tically expands our understanding on virosphere in temperate forest ecosystems Artemis Rumbou 1,*, Eeva J. Vainio 2 and Carmen Büttner 1 1 Faculty of Life Sciences, Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Ber- lin, Germany; [email protected], [email protected] 2 Natural Resources Institute Finland, Latokartanonkaari 9, 00790, Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Forest health is dependent on the variability of microorganisms interacting with the host tree/holobiont. Symbiotic mi- crobiota and pathogens engage in a permanent interplay, which influences the host. Thanks to the development of NGS technol- ogies, a vast amount of genetic information on the virosphere of temperate forests has been gained the last seven years. To estimate the qualitative/quantitative impact of NGS in forest virology, we have summarized viruses affecting major tree/shrub species and their fungal associates, including fungal plant pathogens, mutualists and saprotrophs. The contribution of NGS methods is ex- tremely significant for forest virology. Reviewed data about viral presence in holobionts, allowed us to address the role of the virome in the holobionts. Genetic variation is a crucial aspect in hologenome, significantly reinforced by horizontal gene transfer among all interacting actors. Through virus-virus interplays synergistic or antagonistic relations may evolve, which may drasti- cally affect the health of the holobiont. Novel insights of these interplays may allow practical applications for forest plant protec- tion based on endophytes and mycovirus biocontrol agents.

Academic Editor: John Burand and Madoka Nakai Received: 25 November 2014 / Accepted: 15 January 2015 / Published: 21 January 2015 Abstract: Since the development of methods for inserting and expressing genes in baculoviruses, a line of research has focused on developing recombinant baculoviruses that express insecticidal peptides and proteins. These recombinant viruses have been engineered with the goal of improving their pesticidal potential by shortening the time required for infection to kill or incapacitate insect pests and reducing the quantity of crop damage as a consequence. A wide variety of neurotoxic peptides, proteins that regulate insect physiology, degradative enzymes, and other potentially insecticidal proteins have been evaluated for their capacity to reduce the survival time of baculovirus-infected lepidopteran host larvae. Researchers have investigated the factors involved in the efficient expression and delivery of baculovirus-encoded insecticidal peptides and proteins, with much effort dedicated to identifying ideal promoters for driving transcription and signal peptides that mediate secretion of the expressed target protein.
