This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,611 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to support research into the mechanisms of altitudinal range expansion by plant species under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino will analyze historical and contemporary plant samples to elucidate patterns of adaptation that have allowed the model species Arabidopsis thaliana to spread to higher elevations in California over approximately the last 150 years. Researchers will sequence the genomes of herbarium and current samples spanning time and altitude to identify genetic changes associated with upward movement. Quantitative trait and distribution data will be combined with genomic analyses to determine the relative roles of phenotypic plasticity versus genetic adaptation in enabling the species' range shift. Insights gained from this research could further understanding of how plant populations may respond to climate change through altitudinal or other range adjustments.
