1. Evolutionary consequences of dominance at the Brassicaceae self-incompatibility locus
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
2. Mating system evolution and self-incompatibility in the wild plant species Brassica cretica
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. Breeding System Evolution and Pollination Success in the Wind-Pollinated Herb Plantago maritima
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I examined variation in sex expression and mating patterns in the sexually polymorphic, wind-pollinated herb Plantago maritima. With a combination of field studies, greenhouse experiments, and genetic analyses, I (a) examined factors influencing sex ratio variation in gynodioecious plants (in which hermaphrodites and females coexist), (b) discovered variation in breeding system, (c) investigated density-dependence of seed production, and (d) documented genetic variation within and among populations close to the northern range margin in Europe.

4. Genomic and phenotypic consequences of allopolyploidization in Capsella
Sammanfattning : Allopolyploidization, the combination of whole-genome duplication (WGD) and interspecific hybridization, is a frequent and influential event in plant evolution. Allopolyploidization potentially affects both adaptation and diversification, yet the understanding of the consequences of allopolyploidy has been obscured by several issues. LÄS MER
5. Investigating genetic factors behind the decline of a threatened plant species – Tephroseris integrifolia (Asteraceae)
Sammanfattning : Landscape change in Europe has caused the decline of many grassland species. Tephroseris integrifolia (Asteraceae) is one species which has declined rapidly in Sweden since the 19th century. LÄS MER
