21. Plant populations are governed by two major controlling forces.22. His work constitutes a major contribution to modern theory of host-parasite interaction in plant populations . 23. For instance, many plant populations exhibit local adaptation. 24. In many cases seed predators support plant populations by dispersing seeds away from the parent plant. 25. Further, Turesson came to the conclusion that differentiation of plant populations was largely driven by natural selection. 26. These distinct seeds increase genetic diversity of the plant population and reduce inbreeding depression and deleterious alleles. 27. They allow ecological forces to work unimpeded and allow the natural fluctuation of animal and plant populations . 28. They say the modified genes could move into the plant population of the world, with disastrous consequences. 29. He conducted extensive work to demonstrate that there is a genetic basis to the differentiation of plant populations . 30. The earliest stages of adaptation in an experimental plant population : strong selection on QTLs for seed dormancy.
