This project will use plants to provide novel tests of the idea that sex helps species escape from their parasites and pathogens, and that sexual species are faster to adapt to changed environmental conditions than are clonal species. The findings will help predict how plants will respond to future changes in climate and parasite pressure.

该项目将使用植物来提供新的测试，以证明性行为有助于物种逃离寄生虫和病原体，并且有性物种比克隆物种更快地适应变化的环境条件。这些发现将有助于预测植物将如何应对未来气候变化和寄生虫压力。
