Evolution of flowering adaptations in temperate grasses
Paliocha, Martin (PhD Thesis;2023:64, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Grasses (Poaceae) represent an unparalleled evolutionary success story and are particularly well adapted to the environmental challenges posed by temperate habitats. Crucial to their evolutionary success in temperate ... -
Increased above‐ground resource allocation is a likely precursor for independent evolutionary origins of annuality in the Pooideae grass subfamily
Lindberg, Camilla Lorange; Hanslin, Hans Martin; Schubert, Marian; Marcussen, Thomas; Trevaskis, Ben; Preston, Jill Christine; Fjellheim, Siri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Semelparous annual plants flower a single time during their 1‐yr life cycle, investing much of their energy into rapid reproduction. By contrast, iteroparous perennial plants flower multiple times over several years, and ... -
Independent recruitment of FRUITFULL-like transcription factors in the convergent origins of vernalization-responsive grass flowering
Paliocha, Martin; Schubert, Marian; Preston, Jill Christine; Fjellheim, Siri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Flowering in response to low temperatures (vernalization) has evolved multiple times independently across angiosperms as an adaptation to match reproductive development with the short growing season of temperate habitats. ... -
Major niche transitions in Pooideae correlate with variation in photoperiodic flowering and evolution of CCT domain genes
Fjellheim, Siri; Young, Darshan Anthony; Paliocha, Martin; Johnsen, Sylvia Sagen; Schubert, Marian; Preston, Jill Christine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The external cues that trigger timely flowering vary greatly across tropical and temperate plant taxa, the latter rely- ing on predictable seasonal fluctuations in temperature and photoperiod. In the grass family (Poaceae) ... -
Molekylærgenetisk karakterisering av vernaliseringsrespons i PACMAD-gras
Paliocha, Martin (Master thesis, 2018)Many plants rely on a mechanism called vernalisation response to match reproductive output with favourable environmental conditions. This trait is an important adaptation to seasonal climates, like for example at high ... -
Shedding light on the role of seasonal flowering in plant niche transitions
Fjellheim, Siri; Preston, Jill Christine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
