- 植物进化生物学 植物进化生物学
- 草子家族Pooideae的基因组学和进化
背景情况:
- 科草是重要的作物和料,但对多年生,非核心成员的研究是有限的.
- 缺乏"核心"Pooideae以外的多年生植物模型,阻碍了对特征多样化的比较遗传研究.
研究的目的:
- 建立多年生植物属Melica作为Pooideae研究的额外模型.
- 提供关于梅利卡生物地理和特征演变的基础数据.
主要方法:
- 使用ITS和ndhF序列数据为Melica构建了一个初步的贝叶斯基系.
- 在地理,气候和特征变化方面分析了梅利卡多样化.

Light Acquisition
8.5K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
25.7K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress
13.6K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.
