1. Regulatory Control of Autumn Senescence in Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : Autumn senescence is a visually spectacular phenomenon in which trees prepare for the oncoming winter. The mechanism for regulation of autumn senescence in trees has been very hard to pinpoint. In this thesis the main focus is to investigate how autumn senescence is regulated in aspens (Populus tremula). LÄS MER
2. Molecular population genetics of inducible defense genes in Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : Plant-herbivore interactions are among the most common of ecological interactions. It is therefore not surprising that plants have evolved multiple mechanisms to defend themselves, using both constitutive chemical and physical barriers and by induced responses which are only expressed after herbivory has occurred.

3. Tracing selection and adaptation along an environmental gradient in Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : The distribution of the expressed genotype is moved around in the population over time byevolution. Natural selection is one of the forces that act on the phenotype to change the patterns ofnucleotide variation underlying those distributions. LÄS MER
4. Phenolics, Nitrogen, and Biotic Interactions : A Study of Phenylpropanoid Metabolites and Gene Expression in the Leaves of Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : European aspen (Populus tremula) is a fast growing tree species, rich in phenolic compounds. Defense theories suggest that soil nitrogen greatly influence plant allocation togrowth and defense; however, the allocation priorities are not well understood. LÄS MER
5. Using systems genetics to explore the complexity of leaf shape variation in Populus tremula
Sammanfattning : Leaves are essential for sustaining humanity as they function as the energy and oxygen-producing organ of plants. Intensive research on physiological processes has contributed immensely to our understanding of the function of leaves. However, comparatively little is known about how leaf size and shape is determined. LÄS MER
