Abstract:

Understanding how local adaptation arises within species is essential when making predictions about how populations may respond to environmental change. Serpentine soils present an ideal system to study the processes leading to local adaptation in plant populations. Theses soils have a scattered distribution, are deficient in several nutrient minerals, have high heavy metal content, and a poor water holding capacity; all factors contributing to a strong selective pressure against plant growth. This thesis investigates local adaptation to serpentine soil in populations of Arabidopsis lyrata ssp

Abstract:

Plant morphology and function are sensitive to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, but evidence that CO2 concentration can act as a selective pressure driving evolution is sparse. Plants originating from naturally high CO2 springs are subjected to elevated CO2 concentration over multiple generations, providing an opportunity to predict how adaptation to future atmospheres may occur, with important implications for future plant conservation and crop breeding strategies. Using Plantago lanceolata L. from such a site (the ‘spring’ site) and from an adjacent ambient CO2 site (‘

Abstract:

This study lends strong support to the idea that members of Bromeliaceae have undergone a recent adaptive radiation, and therefore show that, at least in part, diversity in the tropics is due to a fast speciation rate and that the tropics can be a "cradle" for new diversification and exploitation of varying ecological niches through the diversification of ecophysiological traits within a lineage.

Abstract:

The obligately outbreeding root hemiparasite Striga hermonthica (Orobanchaceae)is a serious threat to subsistence agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Resistance to this parasite in its crop hosts, such as rice, sorghum and maize, is not common, and the evolution of host adaptations that are able to overcome new sources of resistance is an ever-present risk. Research into host adaptation in S. hermonthica has generally sought to correlate the genetic relationship between Striga individuals with host identity; however, such approaches must be supported by lab-based evidence of host adaptation, ot

Abstract:

Amaranthus tuberculatus (Common Waterhemp) is a prevalent, problematic weed in Midwestern USA, where genetically-modified crops are widely grown, resulting in multiple annual applications of glyphosate. Such practices provide the selection pressure for the evolution of glyphosate resistance. Evolutionary theory predicts that adaptation to novel stresses, such as herbicide application, will incur a cost in the original (herbicide-free) environment. This project aims to identify whether glyphosate resistance in a population of Amaranthus tuberculatus was associated with a fitness cost in the abs

Abstract:

Global climate change is a real-time problem that presents threats to many species. Climate change can alter ecosystems and may lead to species extinction. Species can respond to climate change by moving to a better environment or adapting. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on several approaches and perspectives to anticipate ecological impacts of climate change. A common strategy uses models to understand how populations respond to different climate scenarios. Ecological models have helped usunderstand population persistence, but they often ignore how populations adapt to environmental stres

Abstract:

The accumulation of salts in soil is an important agricultural problem that limits crop productivity. Salts containing sodium (Na⁺) are particularly problematic, as cytosolic Na⁺ can interfere with cellular metabolism and lead to cell death. Maintaining low levels of cytosolic Na⁺, therefore, is critical for plant survival during growth in salt. Mechanisms to regulate Na⁺ accumulation in plant cells include extrusion of Na⁺ from the cell and sequestration of Na⁺ into intracellular compartments. Both of these processes are controlled in part through the action of Na⁺/H⁺ exchangers belonging to

Mycorrhizal fungi are soil-borne organisms that form symbiotic associations with the majority of land plants. These fungi gather and exchange mineral nutrients with plants for photosynthetically derived carbohydrates.

The influence of mycorrhizal fungi on plant mineral nutrition and response to stress suggests that these organisms may have a role to play sustainable agriculture as well as in bioremediation and ecosystem restora

Biological invasions have been observed throughout the world for centuries, often with major consequences to biodiversity and food security. Tying invasion to species identity and associated traits has led to numerous hypotheses on why, and where, some species are invasive. In recent decades, attention to intraspecific variation among invaders has produced questions about their adaptation to climate, land use, and environmental change.
