2. 1. Genetic structure of natural populations : aspects of the association between genetical and morphological variability patterns

   Author : Ulf Lagercrantz; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Abstract : Most species comprise a number of more or less reproductively isolated subpopulations. These subpopulations may exhibit striking differences in morphology and ecology, and on the basis of those differences they are often given the rank of subspecies, race, stock, variety, etc. READ MORE

4. 2. Conservation Genetics and Speciation in Asian Forest Trees

   Author : Sofia Bodare; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; François Lefèvre; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

   Abstract : Tropical forests are important because they are the home of millions of species at the same time as they perform ecosystem services and provide food, cash income and raw materials for the people living there. The present thesis elucidates questions relevant to the conservation of selected forest trees as it adds to the knowledge in the phylogeny, population structure, genetic diversity and adaptation in these species.

5. 3. Conifer Evolution, from Demography and Local Adaptation to Evolutionary Rates : Examples from the Picea genus

   Author : Jun Chen; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; Matt Olson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Speciation; Demographics; clinal variation; convergent evolution; transcriptome; small regulatory RNA; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

   Abstract : Evolutionary process can be inferred at three different levels: the species level, the population level and the molecular level. In this thesis, I applied approaches at these three levels and aimed to get a comprehensive picture of conifer evolution, from speciation and demography to geographic variation and local adaptation, and then to the molecular evolution of proteins and small regulatory RNAs.

6. 4. Studies on Natural Variation and Evolution of Photoperiodism in Plants

   Author : Karl Holm; Ulf Lagercrantz; Martin Lascoux; Seth Jon Davis; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : photoperiodism; circadian; flowering time; natural variation; evolution; Caspella bursa-pastoris; Physcomitrella patens; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

   Abstract : Photoperiodism refers to the organism’s ability to detect and respond to seasonal changes in the daily duration of light and dark and thus constitutes one of the most significant and complex examples of the interaction between the organism and its environment. This thesis attempts to describe the prevalence of variation in a photoperiodic response, its adaptive value, and its putative genetic basis in a common cruciferous weed, Capsella bursa-pastoris (Brassicaceae).

7. 5. Genetic Control of Annual Growth Rhythm in the Conifer Norway Spruce (Picea Abies L. Karst)

   Author : Anna Karlgren; Ulf Lagercrantz; Niclas Gyllenstrand; Janice Cooke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bud set; circadian clock; Picea abies; growth cessation; phosphatidyl ethanolamine-binding protein PEBP genes; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

   Abstract : Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) is a conifer belonging to the group gymnosperms and is an ecologically and economically important species in several parts of Europe. READ MORE
