  1. 1. Genetic diversity and differentiation in natural and managed stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies)

    Författare :Helena Eklöf; Pär K. Ingvarsson; Xiao-Ru Wang; Carolina Bernhardsson; Katri Kärkkäinen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Norway spruce; Picea abies; forestry; genetic diversity; seed orchards; forest management; WGS; GBS; sequencing; PoolSeq; capture probes; genetic differentiation;

    Sammanfattning : Being one of Sweden’s most important tree species, both as a keystone species and for the forest industry, it is important that we keep our stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) as healthy as possible. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genomic selection and genome-wide association studies to dissect quantitative traits in forest trees

    Författare :Biyue Tan; Pär K. Ingvarsson; Björn Sundberg; Harry X. Wu; Dario Grattapaglia; Xiao-Ru Wang; Leopoldo Sanchez; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Genomic prediction; genome-wide association study; additive effects; dominance effects; epistasis effects; realized relationship matrix; Eucalyptus grandis; Eucalyptus urophylla;

    Sammanfattning : The convergence of quantitative genetics of complex traits with genomic technologies is quickly becoming an innovative approach to explore fundamental genetic questions and also have practical consequences for implementations in tree breeding. In this thesis, I used genomic selection and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to dissect the genetic basis of quantitative traits, i. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The roles of demography and natural selection in shaping genome-wide variation of Norway spruce

    Författare :Xi Wang; Pär K. Ingvarsson; Carolina Bernhardsson; Xiao-Ru Wang; Nathaniel Street; Tanja Pyhäjärvi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Norway spruce; whole-genome resequencing; variant calling; genetic linkage map; nucleotide diversity; natural selection;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the relative contribution of genetic drift, natural selection, and mutation to genetic variation, and quantifying adaptive evolution and the effects of natural selection in species are enduring goals of evolutionary genetics. Norway spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most important conifer species that dominates from both an ecological and economical point of view in many boreal ecosystems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The genomic signatures of adaptive evolution in Populus

    Författare :Jing Wang; Pär Ingvarsson; Barbara Mable; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Populus; adaptive evolution; natural selection; genomic diversity and divergence; recombination; Next-generation sequencing; local adaptation;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the genetic basis of adaptive evolution, and how natural selection has shaped patterns of polymorphism and divergence within and between species are enduring goals of evolutionary genetics. In this thesis, I used whole genome re-sequencing data to characterize the genomic signatures of natural selection along different evolutionary timescales in three Populus species: Populus tremula, P.

  7. 5. Metapopulations dynamics and sex-specific resource allocation in Silene dioica

    Författare :Elisabet Peedu; Pär Ingvarsson; Barbara Giles; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Silene dioica; Skeppvik Archipelago; Metapopulation Dynamics; Population Genetic Structuring; Genetic Diversity; Gene Flow; Sex-Specific Resource Allocation; Cost of Reproduction; Life-History Theory; Sexual Dimorphism; Reproductive Effort; biology; biologi; evolutionär genetik; evolutionary genetics; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Sammanfattning : Rising archipelagos provide unique settings for the study of the temporal and spatial dynamics of their biota. This offers the possibility to study the ecology and genetics of early successional processes; both between islands that differ in age and within islands when already established organisms have to keep pace with the changing environment.
