Site specific adaptation by natural selection. A case study with lentil (Lens culinaris Medik)
Project
Project code: DFG
Contract period: 01.07.2013
- 30.06.2017
Budget: 340,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Three questions are investigated: i) Can natural selection during a comparatively short period of 10 generations lead to population changes and will they lead to site specific adaptation?
ii) What is the influence of different water supply on site specific adaptation?
Four heterogeneous populationen are subject to natural selection at four locations in Germany and four locations in Canada since 2014 to investigate the adaptive potencial.
2 populations consist of 20 F3-lines each and
2 populationen consist of 4 F8-lines from a Canadian breeding program.
The components of each population are homogeneous for seed size ? an essential trait for farmers.
