Hi Bev,

Could you please circulate the following email with plant science-all?

Thank you very much!

Have a nice day.

Hi all,

Please remember to register for tomorrow's special seminar hosted by the Plant Science Graduate Student Association!

It would be an excellent opportunity to meet Dr. Marie Jasieniuk (Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California). I have attached the abstract for the seminar for your reference.

Hope to see you all!

Thank you,

Sachi

Inferring the Origins, Evolution, and Spread of Weed Populations using Molecular Tools

Join us for a webinar on Jan 21, 2021 at 3:00 PM CST.

Register now!https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/9170319912989203215

Presented by Dr. Marie Jasieniuk, Professor and Plant Biologist, Department of Plant Sciences, University of California - Davis

Population genetic studies using molecular tools can provide information on the origins, evolution, and spread of weeds, and contribute to the design of effective weed management programs. Multiple approaches are currently available, including traditional population-based methods that estimate genetic diversity within populations and assess genetic differentiation and relationships among predefined populations. Newer individual-based Bayesian clustering analyses, such as STRUCTURE and INSTRUCT, use multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations. Further analyses allow the testing of competing hypotheses concerning historical or invasion scenarios and the numbers of independent evolutionary events or introductions. Application of these approaches to advance understanding of the processes underlying the introduction, evolution and spread of agricultural weeds and invasive plants in California will be discussed.

Brought to you by the Plant Science Graduate Student Association

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
