  1. 1. Hybridization and Evolution in the Genus Pinus

    Författare :Baosheng Wang; Xiao-Ru Wang; Sally Aitken; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adaptation; biogeography; coalescent simulation; cytoplasmic genome; demographic history; genetic diversity; hybridization; migration; Pinus; population structure; selection; speciation; evolutionär genetik; evolutionary genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Gene flow and hybridization are pervasive in nature, and can lead to different evolutionary outcomes. They can either accelerate divergence and promote speciation or reverse differentiation. The process of divergence and speciation are strongly influenced by both neutral and selective forces.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Finding fitness : empirical and theoretical explorations of inferring fitness effects from population-level SNP data

    Författare :Bea Angelica Andersson; Xiao-Ru Wang; Åke Brännström; Tanja Slotte; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; distribution of fitness effects; site frequency spectra; missing data filtering; downsampling; imputation; sample size; population structure; inbreeding; selfing; homozygosity; Arabidopsis; Pinus; DFE-alpha; SLiM; population genomics; adaptation; biology; biologi; evolutionär genetik; evolutionary genetics; populationsbiologi; Population Biology; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Genetics; genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) describes the likelihood that a new mutation has a specific effect on the fitness of an individual in a given population. The shape of the DFE is a result of several factors such as population size, mating system and selective environment, and can in turn influence the evolutionary potential of a species. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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

  7. 5. Game of crops : genetic composition and adaptation of seed orchard crops

    Författare :Alisa Heuchel; Xiao-Ru Wang; David Hall; Ulfstand Wennström; Jaroslaw Burczyk; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; seed orchards; GBS; linear deployment; tree improvement; genetic diversity; adapation; topgrafting; Scots pine; Norway spruce; improved reforestation material; field performance; flowering stimulation; fertility variation; Genetics; genetik; environmental science; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Orchard populations are artificial and intensively managed populations of elite, best-performing trees that are established for mass production of genetically improved seeds. Seed orchards connect cycles of selection, breeding, and testing of plus-trees with the deployment of the improved seeds at the operational plantations. LÄS MER
