Development of SNP marker in putative adaptation-relevant candidate genes
Project
Project code: vTI-FG-08-27
Contract period: 01.02.2005
- 31.01.2010
Purpose of research: Applied research
Adaptation of plants to specific environmental conditions is the result of complex genotype-environment interactions constrained by the past population dynamics and biogeographic history of the species. For ecotypes of different plant species it has already been found that adaptation to specific habitats or environmental conditions and/or stress conditions is correlated with steady-state levels of Redox-system reactions (e.g. Phragmitis communis, rice, Salix). The molecular basis of this adaptation, however, is widely unknown. In this project it is planned to investigate DNA sequence variation and expression pattern and to develop SNP marker of candidate genes putatively involved in plant stress response, and housekeeping (non-candidate genes) in beech trees (Fagus sylvatica) from the edges and centre of the natural distribution range.
