  2. 1. Hybridization and Evolution in the Genus Pinus

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

    Abstract : 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.

    Abstract : The chemical elicitor methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could replace insecticides in Europe and Asia for protection of young conifers against the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). This thesis mainly focuses on the effects of MeJA treatment on chemical defenses of conifers from seedling batches with documented field resistance. READ MORE
