Comparative analysis of gene-specific adaptive potentials across changing environments in A. thaliana (A12)

Subject Area Plant Genetics and Genomics
Term since 2022
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 456082119
 
The range of a species is delimited by a set of environmental factors that together define its niche. Here, we ask how individual genes and pathways contribute to defining a species niche. We will quantify the performance of all Arabidopsis mutants studied in the consortium along nutrient, water and competition gradients to compare the relative fitness effects of the candidate genes/pathways along environmental gradients. This project will provide a protocol to annotate genes according to the environments in which they promote plant fitness and compare how the various genetic pathways and traits studied in the consortium shape the breadth of a species’ niche.
