Anna's favorite thesis chapter is online

Teosinte phenotypes that differ from low elevation, warm sites (later flowering, larger root mass) to high elevation, cold sites (early flowering, small roots) are shifted by root microbes. More interesting yet, microbes shift the genetic variation and covariation between traits, potentially altering plant responses to selection pressures, e.g. climate change.

A favorite thesis chapter is online at Evolution! Microbes may alter plant adaptation to climate: root microbes alter teosinte's expression & genetic covariance of traits adaptively diverged across environmentshttps://t.co/8CDIGdBCpT w/@jrossibarra @systrauss & Ruairidh Sawers
