What factors influence whether populations will adapt to new environmental conditions? Addressing this question is both of fundamental interest for understanding evolution, but also of applied interest for controlling pests such as agricultural weeds that are rapidly adapting to our control measures. Stephen Wrights research makes use of the latest in genomic technologies to investigate plant adaptation at the genome level. By studying the population genomics of adaptation in agricultural weeds, his innovative approach will enable important insights into the process of adaptation, the causes of genome evolution, and the factors influencing the adaptive success of weed populations.

哪些因素会影响人们是否会适应新的环境条件？解决这个问题不仅对理解进化具有根本意义，而且对于控制正在迅速适应我们的控制措施的农业杂草等害虫也具有应用意义。斯蒂芬·赖特的研究利用最新的基因组技术在基因组水平上研究植物适应。通过研究农业杂草适应的种群基因组学，他的创新方法将使人们能够对适应过程、基因组进化的原因以及影响杂草种群适应成功的因素有重要的见解。
