Selection during Early Life Stages and Local Adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Postma, F. M. 2016. Selection during Early Life Stages and Local Adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1425. 51 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9687-6. Organisms are often adapted to their local environment, but the role of early life stages in adaptive differentiation ...
متن کاملA map of local adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Local adaptation is critical for species persistence in the face of rapid environmental change, but its genetic basis is not well understood. Growing the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in field experiments in four sites across the species' native range, we identified candidate loci for local adaptation from a genome-wide association study of lifetime fitness in geographically diverse accessio...
متن کاملNatural Variation in Abiotic Stress Responsive Gene Expression and Local Adaptation to Climate in Arabidopsis thaliana
Gene expression varies widely in natural populations, yet the proximate and ultimate causes of this variation are poorly known. Understanding how variation in gene expression affects abiotic stress tolerance, fitness, and adaptation is central to the field of evolutionary genetics. We tested the hypothesis that genes with natural genetic variation in their expression responses to abiotic stress...
متن کاملGenetic basis of adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana: local adaptation at the seed dormancy QTL DOG1.
Local adaptation provides an opportunity to study the genetic basis of adaptation and investigate the allelic architecture of adaptive genes. We study delay of germination 1 (DOG1), a gene controlling natural variation in seed dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana and investigate evolution of dormancy in 41 populations distributed in four regions separated by natural barriers. Using F(ST) and Q(ST) ...
متن کاملArabidopsis thaliana life without phytochromes.
Plants use light as a source of energy for photosynthesis and as a source of environmental information perceived by photoreceptors. Testing whether plants can complete their cycle if light provides energy but no information about the environment requires a plant devoid of phytochromes because all photosynthetically active wavelengths activate phytochromes. Producing such a quintuple mutant of A...
