I am working on thermostability aspects of plant superoxide dismutases (SODs). Thermostability varies between plant species under study. I wonder how thermostable SODs evolved in plants. Is thermostability a mere consequences of mutations or do plants evolved them for their own benefits.......If its true, how thermostability of SODs be beneficial for plants? Can we correlate thermostability with evolutionary adaptation....... Thanks in advance for valuable insights.
Hello Vernon! I study morphological (skeletal/cranial and dental variation) Are you interested in the relationship between morphological variation and ecology? let me know. The answer is not so straight forward and a bit more complicated, because it really depends on the element, especially whether the element is specific to diet/feeding behavior. The range of variation also depends on element, sex, diet and habitat and the species. can you pose a more specific question or I can give you the elements/species/ sex and min and max ranges of variation. Let me know:)
Dear Dr. Hedge,
Thanks for thoughtful discussion and sparing your valuable time. I am working in this direction but paucity of information on temperature regimes during plant evolution is making the task bit challenging.
Dear Dr. Hedge,
Thanks again for your invaluable suggestions. I'll will be looking forward for your expert advise at times.
Sincerely,
Arun Kumar
