- Abstract:
- The availability of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome sequence together with an emerging understanding of the genetic pathways that regulate flowering time has opened up the potential to analyse the molecular evolution of the genes underlying flowering time variation and to investigate its selective importance. We will focus on variation in vernalization requirement and response and aim to characterize molecular variation in known and new loci, ascertaining its role in phenotypic variation. We will also aim to understand the ecological significance of the phenotypic variation caused by defined molecular changes and examine the selective forces on the alleles through examination of the pattern of sequence polymorphism at and surrounding the loci.
