Botanical seminar: Epigenetic memory in plants

4:00 PM

Epigenetic memory allows plants to “remember” past periods of stress or environmental conditions and adjust their functioning accordingly in the future. In this lecture, we will explore how these experiences are encoded in gene regulation without altering DNA, and how they enable plants to respond more quickly, more precisely, and with surprising sophistication. We will share examples from our research, and I hope to convince you that memory is crucial for plant survival in a changing world.

The results help to effectively monitor the status of urban vegetation and show that even ordinary urban habitats can harbour a surprisingly diverse flora. Can you guess which parts of the city boast the greatest biodiversity?

In flowering plants, successful seed development depends on a precisely balanced ratio of maternal and paternal genomes in the endosperm (2m:1p). Apomictic plants often disrupt this balance, which can reduce seed fitness. Our study shows that apomictic blackberries can overcome this limitation and produce larger seeds with potentially higher fitness than their sexual counterparts.

Battle of the Sexes: From Global Sexual Dimorphism to Local Thistles (Cirsium)

4:00 PM

In plants, sex can be more important than it seems – sometimes it even influences where the species grow. In nature, there are plants which have both male and female individuals, but also those which combine both sexes in one flower. These different "sexual systems" differ not only in appearance but also in their distribution around the world. Using the example of thistles (genus Cirsium), we are investigating why female plants sometimes thrive better than hermaphroditic ones – and how they manage to live together in one place for a long time.
