  1. 1. Mating system evolution and self-incompatibility in the wild plant species Brassica cretica

    Författare :Kristina Aaltonen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mating system; Brassicaceae; Brassica cretica; recombination; frequency-dependent selection; evolution; population structure; segregation distortion; SCR; self-incompatibility; SRK;

    Sammanfattning : Compared to animals like ourselves, plants have a very flexible sexual life. Most plants are, for example, hermaphrodites with the potential capacity for reproduction by self-fertilization (or selfing). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Temperature and the synchrony of plant-insect interactions

    Författare :Tenna Toftegaard; Johan Ehrlén; Karl Gotthard; Christer Wiklund; Annette Menzel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brassicaceae; Anthocharis cardamines; climate change; development; oviposition; phenology; species interactions; herbivory; synchrony; timing; phenotypic plasticity; local adaptation; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing temperatures resulting from climate change have within recent years been shown to advance phenological events in a large number of species worldwide. Species can differ in their response to increasing temperatures, and understanding the mechanisms that determine the response is therefore of great importance in order to understand and predict how a warming climate can influence both individual species, but also their interactions with each other and the environment.

  4. 3. Demography and Polyploidy in Capsella

    Författare :Kate St.Onge; Anna Palmé; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; Richard Abbott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Approximate Bayesian Computation; Mating system; Brassicaceae; flowering time; genetic diversity; Evolution; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Studies of demography and population structure give insight into important evolutionary processes such as speciation and diversification. In the present work I perform such studies in the genus Capsella, which has three species: C. grandiflora, an outcrossing diploid, C. rubella a selfing diploid, and C. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Evolutionary consequences of dominance at the Brassicaceae self-incompatibility locus

    Författare :Jörg Alexander Bachmann; Tanja Slotte; Vincent Castric; Ove Eriksson; Pär Ingvarsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Capsella; mating system shift; self-fertilization; self-incompatibility; small RNA; dominance; Arabidopsis; population genetics; genomics; gene expression; ekologi och evolution; Ecology and Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism that allows plants to enforce outcrossing by rejecting self-pollen and pollen from close relatives. In the Brassicaceae, SI is sporophytic and controlled by the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evolution of Flowering Time in the Tetraploid Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae)

    Författare :Tanja Slotte; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; Juliette de Meaux; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biology; flowering time; homoeolog; hybridization; introgression; microarray; multiple origins; polyploid; QTL; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Although polyploidy is believed to be a major source of evolutionary novelty, few studies have examined the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in wild polyploids. In this thesis I have studied the genetic basis of flowering time variation in the wild tetraploid crucifer Capsella bursa-pastoris, as well as the evolutionary history of this species. LÄS MER
