Nearly a quarter of all red-algal species occur as parasites            of other red algae.  Previous NSF-supported research by Dr. Lynda               Goff and her colleagues has established that parasites form                     direct cellular connections with host cells, and may in the                     process transfer their nucleus into host cells.  Dr. Goff, at the               Santa Cruz campus of the University of California, will continue                to study the process of parasite nucleus transfer and the                       subsequent cytology and developmental events that occur in the                  host's transformed cells.  In addition, Dr. Goff will analyze                   plastid DNA using restriction endonuclease techniques to                        determine the phylogenetic relationships between host species and               parasites, in a pioneering application of these new molecular                   phylogenetic methods with red algae.  This research will thus                   advance understanding of basic cellular interactions in a novel                 system of red algae, and will add powerful new tools of analysis                to the problem of determining algal evolution.
