• Interspecific and interploidal gene flow in Central European Arabidopsis (Brassicaceae) 

      Jørgensen, Marte Holten; Ehrich, Dorothee; Schmickl, Roswitha; Koch, Marcus A.; Brysting, Anne Krag (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Effects of polyploidisation on gene flow between natural populations are little known. Central European diploid and tetraploid populations of Arabidopsis arenosa and A. lyrata are here used to study interspecific and interploidal gene flow, using a combination of nuclear and plastid markers. Ploidal levels were confirmed by flow cytometry. Network analyses clearly separated diploids according to ...
    • Living on the edge: conservation genetics of seven thermophilous plant species in a high Arctic archipelago 

      Birkeland, Siri; Skjetne, Idunn Elisabeth Borgen; Brysting, Anne Krag; Elven, Reidar; Alsos, Inger Greve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      Small, isolated and/or peripheral populations are expected to harbour low levels of genetic variation and may therefore have reduced adaptability to environmental change, including climate warming. In the Arctic, global warming has already caused vegetation change across the region and is acting as a significant stressor on Arctic biodiversity. Many of the rare plants in the Arctic are relicts from ...
