Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes

Plants and Environment• 2) Shelford (American:
early 1900s)– Upper limits for factors– Proposed “Theory of
Tolerance”

Plants and Environment• Phenotype: appearance
• Genotype: genetic make-up
• Phenotype: determined by genotype & environment
![Page 5: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Plants and the Environment• Equation:
• Vp = Vg + Ve
• Vp = total phenotypic
• Vg = variation due
• Ve = variation due
Focus Vg

Plants and the Environment• Adaptation:
– 1) Genetically – 2) With
• How determine trait adaptation? Hard!
Genetic importance
![Page 7: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Plants and the Environment• Genetic basis:• Heritability (h2): resemblance between relatives
due
• h2 = Vg / Vp
– Vg = variation due to
– Vp = total
![Page 8: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Plants and the Environment• 1 approach: slope regression line (r2)
y = mx + b; m is slope
r2=0
r2=0.52
r2=1

Plants and the Environment• Plant height ex.
Fig. 6.3
(r2)=0.21 or 21%
(h2)=0.21 or 21%

Genetic Variation• More better (generally)• Why?
– 1) Raw material evolution (change genetic makeup)– 2) Dominant alleles mask “lethal recessives:” fatal if

Genetic Variation• Problem: genetic drift! Loss
• Small pop’ns
Small population (9 inds.) Large population (50 inds.)
Start: 50% mix 2 alleles
![Page 12: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Genetic Variation• Ex, Wollemi “pine” (Australia)

Genetic Variation• Sources new genetic variation?
– 1) Mutation: Heritable . Rare: 10% of pop’n. each generation (new mutation)
– 2) Immigration.
![Page 16: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Plants and the Environment• Recall:
• Adaptation: – 1) Genetically determined trait– 2) With survival or reproductive benefit
• How show benefit? Hard!

Adaptation Story• Homoblasty = same twig/leaf forms
![Page 18: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Adaptation Story• Homoblasty = same • Different twig/leaf forms (plant age) = heteroblasty
– Also called “juvenile”
• Ex, many Junipers (Juniperus)
![Page 19: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Adaptation Story• Young plants (0-3 m tall) “divaricate” (wide-angled) • • Older (> 3 m): normal
Pennantia corymbosa
normal divaricate

Adaptation Story• Divaricate: 30-70% less loss• Branches resist • Divaricate
![Page 25: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Adaptation Story• Non-native mammals not affected (shearing teeth)
– Heteroblastic species declining
![Page 26: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Variation due to Environment• Phenotypic plasticity: vary form/physiology
![Page 29: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Variation due to Environment• Ex, heterophylly: different
– (“hetero”=other; “phyll”=leaf)
Fig. 6.5
Emergent vs.Submerged leaves

Species as ecological tool• Now: species as tool
• Issues:– Species indicators – Plants adapt at – Revegetation/reforestation: does where
![Page 31: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Species• Species def’n.
– Species: Populations morphologically similar &
– Biological species approach– Others: cladistics, etc.
![Page 32: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Species• Good indicators: Ex, Quercus laevis (turkey oak). Dry
sandy soils (sandhills)
![Page 33: Ch. 6: Evolutionary Processes/Outcomes. Plants and Environment 1) Liebig (1840) –Law of the Minimum: Growth/distribution depends on environmental factor.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ea35503460f94ba717f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Species• Bad indicators: widespread • Differences genetic ( ?) or
environmental ( ?)• How evaluate?
