Plant Resistance Ecology: A new tool to engineer pollination
In strawberries herbivore-damaged plants deter pollinators, leading to reduced pollination success. However, wild plant genotypes, as well as domesticated varieties, differ in their resistance against herbivores.
The aim of this postdoc project is to investigate whether pollination success is improved when wild strawberries evolve stronger resistance, and during plant breeding for improved resistance in domesticated varieties. The postdoc will have access to a large common garden with 100 wild plant genotypes (Fragaria vesca), and several domesticated varieties (Fragaria x ananassa, F. vesca, F. viridis, F. moschata), that differ in their resistance against herbivores.
