项目摘要

The problem of getting a clear signal in a noisy environment is a problem that not only humans must resolve but one that all organisms in nature experience. The goal of this research is to determine the rules by which plants respond to noisy and variable light signals. The investigators hypothesize that switching between low and high levels of light over varying periods of time changes how light is detected by plants. To study this problem, grasses were chosen because grasses evolved to grow in many types of light environments such as on the forest floor where light flickering and shadows are common to open fields where the light changes very little except for clouds and time of day. The investigators hypothesize that the ability for grasses to thrive in these different light environments is encoded in their genomes. The project will examine how genomically encoded sensing adaptations to dynamic and constant light environments shapes the physiology, development, genetics, and evolution of grasses. Investigators will cross train graduate students and post-docs, especially those from underrepresented groups in state-of-the-art molecular biology, physiology and genomics. Seminars will bring together internationally recognized experts in plant ecology, evolutionary biology, plant physiology and genetics with students and scientists who want to apply these perspectives to understand how plants respond to dynamic environments. Up to 60 new post-baccalaureate analysts will participate in international training workshops. Changes in genomic elements at several scales of organization that increase the fitness of an individual are maintained while those changes that decrease fitness are counter selected for propagation. Genomic elements that are neutral to fitness are filtered away relative to the energy cost of maintaining them. These rules are well established at the scale of genes but not yet scalable to genomes. This project takes an integrative approach to this question by characterizing the full genomes of a phenotypically diverse, yet monophyletic, set of grasses from Ecuador. These grasses live in diverse habitats ranging from the Galapagos Islands, the Paramo’ (alpine tundra), the rain forest, and riparian and littoral zones. These grasses also have a wide range of habits (tillering vs vines vs. bushy vs. tree-like), autotrophic metabolism (C3 vs. C4 carbon fixation), and survival strategies (perennial vs. annual). The specific question to be addressed is what genes/alleles shape morphologies/physiologies expressed in dynamic light environments as opposed to stable light environments. This project brings together two basic disciplines: botany and genomics but extends the connections into cell biology, developmental biology, evolution, and systematics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
在嘈杂的环境中获得清晰信号的问题不仅是人类必须解决的问题,也是自然界中所有生物都必须经历的问题。本研究的目的是确定植物对噪声和可变光信号的反应规则。研究人员假设,在不同的时间段内在低和高水平的光照之间切换会改变植物对光照的检测方式。为了研究这个问题,选择了草,因为草进化成在许多类型的光环境中生长,例如在森林地面上,光闪烁和阴影是常见的,而在开阔的田野上,除了云和一天中的时间外,光变化很少。研究人员假设,草在这些不同的光环境中茁壮成长的能力是在它们的基因组中编码的。该项目将研究基因组编码的传感适应动态和恒定的光环境如何塑造草的生理,发育,遗传和进化。研究人员将交叉培训研究生和博士后,特别是那些来自最先进的分子生物学,生理学和基因组学领域的代表性不足的群体。研讨会将汇集国际公认的植物生态学,进化生物学,植物生理学和遗传学专家与学生和科学家谁想要应用这些观点来了解植物如何应对动态环境。 多达60名新的学士后分析员将参加国际培训讲习班。在几个组织尺度上,增加个体适应性的基因组元件的变化被维持,而降低适应性的那些变化被反向选择用于繁殖。相对于维持它们的能量成本,对适应性中性的基因组元素被过滤掉。 这些规则在基因的尺度上已经很好地建立起来,但还不能扩展到基因组。该项目采取了一个综合的方法来解决这个问题,通过表征全基因组的表型多样性,但单系,一套草从厄瓜多尔。这些草生活在不同的栖息地,从加拉帕戈斯群岛,帕拉莫(高山苔原),雨林,河岸和沿岸的地区。 这些草也有广泛的习性(分蘖与藤蔓与灌木与树状),自养代谢(C3与C4碳固定)和生存策略(多年生与一年生)。要解决的具体问题是什么样的基因/等位基因形状的形态/生理表达的动态光环境,而不是稳定的光环境。该项目将植物学和基因组学这两个基本学科结合在一起,并将它们的联系延伸到细胞生物学、发育生物学、进化和系统学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
