Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1997

本行动资助了1997年美国国家科学基金会与环境有关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金为研究员提供了获得博士学位以外的额外科学培训的机会，并在美国国家科学基金会生物科学理事会支持的任何生物学领域中，在分子、细胞、有机体、种群、群落和/或生态系统层面上，对生物与其环境之间相互作用的基本机制进行创新和富有想象力的研究。每个奖学金支持在赞助实验室进行的研究和培训计划。这项研究和培训计划的题目是“与交配系统分化相关的花性状的遗传基础”。了解适应的遗传基础是理解进化过程的核心。与交配系统相关的花性状是高等植物的突出适应性。利用基于DNA标记的基因组图谱技术，研究了在交配系统中分化的2种亚麻荠属植物的花性状控制位点的数量和大小。

Abstract DBI 9750295 Carol Goodwillie This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Genetic basis of floral traits associated with mating system divergence." Knowledge of the genetic basis of adaptation is central to understanding evolutionary processes. Floral traits associated with mating systems are prominent adaptations of higher plants. DNA marker-based genome mapping techniques are being used to investigate the number and magnitude of loci controlling floral traits distinguishing 2 species of Linanthus that have diverged in mating systems.
