However, the study of responses to climate change have > been surprisingly neglected in crop wild relatives, especially in > fruit trees. Sustainable fruit production relies on the selection of > phenotypes in the cultivated germplasm presenting adequate response to > local climatic conditions. However, those recent breeding often result > in a reduction of genetic diversity and a loss of valuable alleles > at genes not directly targeted by human selection. As a consequence, > important traits allowing response to local climatic conditions may be > absent in the cultivated germplasm while present in wild relatives. The > challenge is thus to investigate the response to climate of wild close > relatives of crop species in order to identify phenological traits that > can be introgressed into elite lines in future breeding programs. > > Using evolutionary genomics, the student will use a powerful approach > combining transplant experiments in controlled climatic conditions, > measures of growth rates, phenological traits, and gene expression > data to investigate the plastic responses of two wild apple relatives > (Malus sylvestris and Malus orientalis) of the cultivated apple (Malus > domestica) to climate change.
