1. 1. Studying genetics of leaf shape variation in Arabidopsis lyrata

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Carina Kvernes Macpherson; [2019]
   Keywords : Arabidopsis lyrata; Arabidopsis arenosa; leaf shape; RCO genes; genotype; phenotype; gene sequence variation;

   Abstract : The relationship between leaf and its environment has resulted in a tremendous diversification of leaf shape within and between plants species, which is important to cope with the differing environmental conditions. Arabidopsis lyrata is a prime model plant that shows leaf shape variation within species and between related species. READ MORE

3. 2. Herbivores, pollinators and selection on flowering time in tetraploid and octoploid Cardamine pratensis

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och botanik

   Author : Elsa Fogelström; [2013]
   Keywords : Cardamine; herbivory; herbivore mediated selection; pollination; pollen limitation; polyploidy; selection; flowering phenology;

   Abstract : Repeated polyploidization events are thought to be among the most important causes of sympatric speciation throughout evolutionary time. Changes in phenology and trait expressions that arise in polyploids have been shown to affect plant interactions with insect herbivores and pollinators. READ MORE
