Funded Activity Summary
On the importance of sex in plants: determining which biotic and environmental factors favour sexual versus clonal reproduction. This project will use plants to provide novel tests of the idea that sex helps species escape from their parasites and pathogens, and that sexual species are faster to adapt to changed environmental conditions than are clonal species. The findings will help predict how plants will respond to future changes in climate and parasite pressure.Funded Activity Details
