SEPIDEH MASSOUMI ALAMOUTI is an academic who published a paper in 2013 entitled Molecular systematics and population genomics of the tree-pathogenic fungus Grosmannia clavigera. SEPIDEH MASSOUMI ALAMOUTI published this work as part of a team: Massoumi Alamouti, Sepideh. Here is a description of this work: Ophiostomatoid fungi increasingly damage forests, but understanding their interactions with vectors and hosts is hampered by uncertainty over the validity of genera, relationships between genera, and species boundaries. To address some of these issues, I first generated a new multigene dataset from 67 taxa that represent the genus Grosmannia and other related genera. The multigene phylogeny resolved the Grosmannia fungi into a clade that was separated from previously intermixed species of the genera Ambrosiella and Raffaelea, and that corresponded to distinct ecological niches and vector associates, i.e. bark versus wood-boring beetles. Second, I generated and used 15 gene genealogies to define species boundaries in G. clavigera. This destructive pine pathogen is vectored by two beetle species: mountain and Jeffrey pine.
