The primary objective of this thesis is to adapt and extend the\r\ntheory to deal with important equations that are not covered by the classical framework,\r\nspecifically boundary value problems and kinetic equations. Additionally, we establish new\r\nresults in periodic homogenization for discrete dynamical optimal transport and in quantization\r\nof measures.\r\nSection 1.1 serves as an invitation to the classical theory of optimal transport, including the\r\nmain definitions and a selection of well-established theorems. Sections 1.2-1.5 introduce the\r\nmain results of this thesis, outline the motivations, and review the current state of the art.\r\nIn Chapter 2, we consider the Fokker–Planck equation on a bounded set with positive Dirichlet\r\nboundary conditions. We construct a time-discrete scheme involving a modification of the\r\nWasserstein distance and, under weak assumptions, prove its convergence to a solution of this\r\nboundary value problem. In dimension 1, we show that this solution is a gradient flow in a\r\nsuitable space of measures.\r\nChapter 3 presents joint work with Giovanni Brigati and Jan Maas. We introduce a new theory\r\nof optimal transport to describe and study particle systems at the mesoscopic scale. We prove\r\nadapted versions of some fundamental theorems, including the Benamou–Brenier formula and\r\nthe identification of absolutely continuous curves of measures.\r\nChapter 4 presents joint work with Lorenzo Portinale. We prove convergence of dynamical\r\ntransportation functionals on periodic graphs in the large-scale limit when the cost functional\r\nis asymptotically linear. Additionally, we show that discrete 1-Wasserstein distances converge\r\nto 1-Wasserstein distances constructed from crystalline norms on R\r\nd\r\n.\r\nChapter 5 concerns optimal empirical quantization: the problem of approximating a measure\r\nby the sum of n equally weighted Dirac deltas, so as to minimize the error in the p-Wasserstein\r\ndistance. Our main result is an analog of Zador’s theorem, providing asymptotic bounds for\r\nthe minimal error as n tends to infinity.\r\n"}],"year":"2025","corr_author":"1","title":"Optimal transport methods for kinetic equations, boundary value problems, and discretization of measures","status":"public","OA_place":"publisher","acknowledgement":"The research contained in this thesis has received funding from the Austrian Science\r\nFund (FWF) project 10.55776/F65."},{"acknowledgement":"This work was partially inspired by an unpublished note from 2014 by Guillaume Carlier,\r\nJean Dolbeault, and Bruno Nazaret.

Beyond kinetic theory, our framework naturally applies in biology, computer vision, and engineering. The central object of our study is a new discrepancy d between two probability distributions in position and velocity states, which is reminiscent of the 2-Wasserstein distance, but of second-order nature. We construct d in two steps. First, we optimise over transport plans. The cost function is given by the minimal acceleration between two coupled states on a fixed time horizon T. Second, we further optimise over the time horizon T > 0. We prove the existence of optimal transport plans and maps, and study two time-continuous characterisations of d. One is given in terms of dynamical transport plans. The other one -- in the spirit of the Benamou--Brenier formula -- is formulated as the minimisation of an action of the acceleration field, constrained by Vlasov's equations. Equivalence of static and dynamical formulations of d holds true. While part of this result can be derived from recent, parallel developments in optimal control between measures, we give an original proof relying on two new ingredients: Galilean regularisation of Vlasov's equations and a kinetic Monge--Mather shortening principle. Finally, we establish a first-order differential calculus in the geometry induced by d, and identify solutions to Vlasov's equations with curves of measures satisfying a certain d-absolute continuity condition. One consequence is an explicit formula for the d-derivative of such curves.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2025","publication_status":"draft","publication":"arXiv","day":"10","citation":{"ista":"Brigati G, Maas J, Quattrocchi F.

By defining an appropriate thermodynamic\r\nlimit, we demonstrated that the observed bistability is a genuine signature of a first-order\r\nphase transition in this system. This work provides insight into non-equilibrium quantum\r\ndynamics and phase transitions in driven-dissipative open quantum systems.\r\nThe second project focuses on the experimental realization of a phase-conjugate receiver for\r\nquantum illumination (QI), a quantum sensing protocol that enhances target detection in noisy\r\nenvironments using entangled light. While an ideal spontaneous parametric down-conversion\r\n(SPDC) source and receiver could, in theory, provide up to a 6 dB advantage over classical\r\nillumination, no such ideal receiver exists. Instead, we explore an experimental realization of a\r\nphase-conjugate receiver for QI in the microwave regime at millikelvin temperatures using a\r\nJosephson parametric converter (JPC) as a source of continuous-variable Gaussian entangled\r\nsignal-idler pairs, where a maximum 3 dB advantage is theoretically achievable. We investigate\r\nkey experimental limitations that constrain practical QI performance, contributing to the\r\ndevelopment of quantum-enhanced sensing.\r\nAdditionally, this thesis presents efficient digital signal processing (DSP) techniques implemented in C++ and Python in collaboration with Przemysław Zieliński and Luka Drmić.

Up until \r\nrecently, the field has struggled to gain reliable access to progenitors at the single-cell level, \r\nlimiting the resolution at which we can study cortical development in vivo. Therefore, much of \r\nthe data we have on mammalian cortical development is at the cell population level. The \r\nsubsequent pages of this thesis describe novel elements of cortical development in mice; \r\nacquired using a candidate gene approach in conjunction with Mosaic Analysis with Double \r\nMarkers (MADM) to achieve single cell resolution. In this thesis, I briefly provide an overview \r\nof the state of the field, describe the methodology used to quantify morphological \r\ncharacteristics of neurons and glia, and delve into the role of Phosphatase and tensin \r\nhomologue on chromosome ten (Pten) in neurogenesis and gliogenesis in the developing mouse \r\ncortex. By using MADM to generate genetic mosaics, in which only a small fraction of cells \r\nare mutated, to study population-level changes, we can bypass the early postnatal lethality \r\nreported in Pten conditional knockouts (cKOs) using Emx1-Cre. We used Emx1-CreERT2 to \r\ninduce clonal deletion of Pten, and quantify RGP neurogenic output at the single progenitor \r\nlevel. Pten-mutant neuron populations within the mosaics were significantly expanded. In the \r\nlatter parts of this thesis, we describe how Pten deletion leads to an increase in the abundance \r\nof astrocytes. We availed ourselves of the flexibility offered by the MADM system to generate \r\nPten mosaics within a series of distinct knockout tissues to test for the interactions between \r\nPten and a battery of genes involved in distinct pro-gliogenic signaling pathways. Our survey \r\nof Pten’s interactions with genes in key signaling pathways reveals that ERK1/2 are the critical \r\neffectors downstream of EGFR signaling essential for gliogenesis. Altogether, our results \r\ndemonstrate that Pten plays critical and distinct roles throughout cortical RGP lineage \r\nprogression.

Polar auxin transport leads to local auxin maxima and \r\ngradients, which are important for regulating various plant development process, including \r\nembryogenesis, organogenesis and vascular tissue formation. The polar auxin transport is \r\nmediated by auxin influx carrier AUX1/LAX proteins and efflux carrier PIN proteins. The \r\nregulation of PIN proteins is a key convergence of crosstalk between auxin and other \r\nhormones, such as cytokinin. Cytokinin promotes the degradation of PIN1 in Arabidopsis \r\nroots, preferentially the dephosphorylated PIN1, and the process is independent of \r\ntranscription and translation (Marhavý et al., 2011; Marhavý et al., 2014). The internalization \r\nof PIN proteins from plasma membrane is controlled by clathrin-mediated endocytosis \r\n(Dhonukshe et al., 2007; Kitakura et al., 2011). However, whether cytokinin affects the PIN1 \r\ndegradation through regulating the phosphorylation of PIN1 or trafficking components is \r\nunknown. Here, we demonstrate that dynamin related protein DRP2s are required for the \r\ncytokinin regulated trafficking of PIN1 and PIN2 in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells. Despite \r\nthe reported redundancy of DRP2A and DRP2B in gametophyte development, we found that \r\nCK-mediated PIN1 degradation and –induced PIN2 membrane localization is affected in drp2a \r\nor drp2b single mutants. Interestingly, we found that cytokinin regulates the recruitment of \r\nDRP2A—but not DRP2B—to clathrin-coated pits, and affects the stability and plasma \r\nmembrane localization of DRP2A. Furthermore, we studied the involvement of cytokinin \r\nreceptors in the regulation of cytokinin on DRP2A. Additionally, the assembly and disassembly \r\ncycle of dynamin is mediated by its dephosphorylation and phosphotylation cycle; thus, we \r\ninvestigated the role of DRP2A phosphorylation in its cytokinin-regulated assembly and in \r\ncytokinin-regulated PIN trafficking. Altogether, we found that cytokinin regulated PIN \r\ntrafficking in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells involves modulation of the phosphorylation of \r\nendocytosis accessory protein DRP2A.

The VLCFAs are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum by a heterotetrameric enzymatic complex including β-ketoacyl CoA reductase 1 (KCR1), whose mutant is lethal. Here, we describe the ectopic shoot meristems (esm) mutant, a viable kcr1 allele presumably affecting surface properties of the KCR1 protein. This kcr1-2 mutant shows reduced fatty acyl elongation that impacts VLCFAs. The kcr1-2 plants show severe defects during different stages of development, which all correlate with defects in polar localization and subcellular trafficking of PIN auxin transporters and resulting asymmetric auxin distribution. Detailed analysis of KCR1 expression and patterning defects in kcr1-2 suggests that KCR1 plays a role in delineating boundaries around meristematic and specialized differentiating tissues, including root and shoot meristems, initiating lateral roots, lateral root primordia, and trichomes. In these contexts, KCR1-produced VLCFAs may act in a non-cell-autonomous manner. Viable kcr1-2 represents a useful tool to study VLCFA roles in plant development and highlights VLCFAs as critical developmental factors at the interface of cell polarity and tissue development.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2025","acknowledgement":"We gratefully acknowledge the Imaging and Optics, Electron Microscopy (especially Vanessa Zheden for technical assistance) and Life Science (in particular Dorota Jaworska) facilities at ISTA for their continuous support.

Previous work established that auxin flows, directed \r\nby polar transport and reinforced by local biosynthesis, underpin axes formation, while recent \r\nstudies suggest that maternal tissue, membrane composition and surface receptor signaling add \r\nfurther regulatory layers. In this thesis, we dissect the layers of auxin-mediated processes which \r\nguide plant embryonic and post-embryonic development. We review methodological advances \r\nthat allow the embryo to be imaged and studied. These tools offer exciting venues for future \r\naddressing of outstanding research questions. Furthermore, we dissect the contribution of \r\nmaternal auxin for early embryo patterning. Targeted auxin scavenging in the integuments \r\nlowers the hormone reaching the proembryo, destabilizes PIN7 in the suspensor and weakens \r\nthe initial apical maximum. The resulting deficit dampens downstream embryonic auxin \r\nbiosynthesis, as well as auxin flow towards the root pole, indicating that maternally provided \r\nauxin controls auxin flows in the embryos on a larger scale than previously understood. \r\nIntriguingly, we uncover a prolonged maternal effect mediated by the receptor-like kinases \r\nTMK1 and TMK4. Reciprocal crosses and transgene analyses hint that these genes could be \r\npreferentially maternally-derived in both embryos and seedlings. Loss of maternal TMK \r\nactivity arrests embryos, affects seedling development and persists into adult growth, \r\nsuggesting that maternal effect could shape development beyond fertilization and early \r\nembryogenesis. Finally, we describe the role of very-long-chain fatty acids and membrane \r\ncomposition on PIN proteins and their auxin-induced relocalization. Disruption in this lipid \r\nmetabolism triggers widespread patterning errors. \r\nTogether, these results reposition early plant patterning as a hierarchical cascade that begins \r\nwith maternal auxin, gets amplified by auxin transport and biosynthesis, potentially modulated \r\nby maternal receptor signaling and could ultimately be gated by the biophysical properties of \r\nthe membrane. By integrating auxin supply, genetic imprinting and lipid-dependent trafficking \r\ninto a single narrative, this thesis helps shifting the approach of viewing the embryo as an \r\nautonomous unit to regarding it as a dynamic system, continuously sculpted by its maternal \r\ncontext."}],"status":"public","title":"Mechanisms of auxin-mediated early embryogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana","corr_author":"1","publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"file":[{"checksum":"5ecf274281a54a41e0288bc79edf7492","relation":"main_file","file_id":"20388","file_name":"2025_David_Babic_Thesis.pdf","date_updated":"2026-09-25T22:30:02Z","file_size":7501548,"embargo":"2026-09-25","date_created":"2025-09-24T13:43:14Z","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dbabic","content_type":"application/pdf"},{"checksum":"2703e548390de0a1af7a707137e8ab3b","relation":"source_file","file_id":"20389","file_name":"Thesis_Babic_draft.docx","embargo_to":"open_access","date_updated":"2026-09-25T22:30:02Z","file_size":23206052,"date_created":"2025-09-24T13:43:14Z","access_level":"closed","creator":"dbabic","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"}],"_id":"20362","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"day":"18","citation":{"chicago":"Babic, David. “Mechanisms of Auxin-Mediated Early Embryogenesis in Arabidopsis Thaliana.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2025. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-20362\">https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-20362</a>.","mla":"Babic, David. <i>Mechanisms of Auxin-Mediated Early Embryogenesis in Arabidopsis Thaliana</i>.

This raises the hitherto untested possibility that heterogeneity of the untransformed tumor stroma can actively fuel malignant progression. As biological heterogeneity is inherently difficult to control, we adopted a reductionist approach and let tumor cells invade micro-engineered environments harboring obstacles with precision-controlled geometry. We find that not only the presence of obstacles, but more surprisingly their spatial disorder, causes a drastic shift from a collective to a single-cell mode of invasion – comparable in strength to cadherin loss. Combining live-imaging and perturbation experiments with minimal biophysical modeling, we demonstrate that cell detachments result both from local geometrical constraints and a global integration of spatial disorder over time. We show that different types of microenvironments map onto different universality classes of invasion dynamics - homogeneous substrates follow Kardar–Parisi–Zhang (KPZ) scaling, while disordered ones exhibit exponents consistent with KPZ with quenched disorder (KPZq). Our findings highlight generic physical principles for how the mode of cancer cell invasion depends on environmental heterogeneity, with potential implications to understand tumor evolution in vivo.","lang":"eng"}],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","year":"2025","status":"public","title":"Substrate heterogeneity promotes cancer cell dissemination through interface roughening","corr_author":"1","OA_place":"repository","acknowledgement":"European Research Council, https://ror.org/0472cxd90, 101071793\r\nAustrian Academy of Sciences, 26360","_id":"21427","day":"25","citation":{"ista":"Dunajova Z, Tasciyan S, Majek J, Merrin J, Sahai E, Sixt MK, Hannezo EB.

This requires precise coordination between the \r\nsize of the source of Shh production and the embryo body. Shh is produced by the notochord, \r\nas well as floorplate of the neural tube. In this thesis, we investigated how the sizes of the \r\nnotochord and floorplate are regulated and how they impact the developing mouse embryo.  \r\nTo measure the size and shape of the developing mouse notochord and the cell behaviours \r\nwithin this organ, we performed high-resolution measurements in cleared embryos between \r\nE8.5 and E10.5 of development. Strikingly, our data revealed that the notochord maintains a \r\nconstant cross-sectional area throughout the trunk over time as it lengthens by cell \r\nproliferation. We show that this is achieved by a feedback between the notochord cell \r\nproliferation rate and both the cross-sectional area of the trunk notochord and elongation of \r\nthe embryo. Using live imaging, we further show that notochord cells undergo posteriorly\r\ndirected active cell migration and that this cell migration contributes to maintaining the \r\nstructural integrity of the notochord. Our results show a complex coordination of cell \r\nbehaviours that allow for robust notochord morphogenesis during mouse development and \r\nthe maintenance of a defined Shh source size.  \r\nShh produced by the notochord induces a secondary Shh-producing domain, the floor plate. \r\nHow the notochord and floor plate contribute to the formation of the Shh gradient in the \r\nneural tube and to the regulation of the floor plate size is poorly understood. Our theoretical \r\nand experimental analysis indicates that only the initial levels of notochord-derived Shh \r\ninfluence the size of the floor plate, and the floor plate is insensitive to its own production of \r\nShh. After its initial establishment, the floor plate expands by tissue growth, leading to scaling \r\nof the Shh gradient amplitude with tissue size.   \r\nAltogether, we show that the mechanisms regulating the sizes of the notochord and \r\nfloorplate in mouse development help to achieve size robustness of these tissues. Our data \r\ndemonstrate that the initial establishment of the Shh gradient in the neural tube is strongly \r\ndependent on the notochord and suggest that the robustness of notochord morphogenesis \r\nis essential for pattern formation. Later in development, the floor plate size and the Shh \r\ngradient are coupled to neural tube growth. Our findings provide new insights on how pattern \r\nformation, tissue growth and morphogenesis interact to ensure reproducible developmental \r\noutcomes.

Parallel to this well-established nuclear \r\nmechanism, auxin also triggers rapid, non-transcriptional responses. In particular, at the cell \r\nsurface, most notably through ABP1 and TMKs. Despite decades of research, the integration \r\nof these pathways and their links to fundamental cellular processes remains not fully \r\nunderstood.  \r\nIn this study, we uncover a new role for TIR1/AFB signaling in rapidly activating \r\nmacroautophagy during developmental reprogramming. Auxin induces autophagy via \r\nTIR1/AFB adenylate cyclase activity, linking auxin perception to cAMP production and \r\ntranscriptional activation of autophagy machinery. Autophagy-deficient mutants exhibit \r\ndelayed meristem differentiation, impaired lateral root progression, and reduced shoot \r\norganogenesis, demonstrating its necessity for timely developmental transitions. \r\nWe also revisit the ABP1-TMK1 cell-surface auxin perception complex, providing \r\nbiochemical and mass photometry evidence for auxin-dependent complex formation. We show \r\nthat ABP1-TMK1 triggers an ultrafast global phosphorylation response targeting ~1000 \r\nproteins, including the auxin transporter PIN2, and Rho-of-plants (ROP) GTPases regulators. \r\nThis pathway directly regulates PIN2 phosphorylation, for gravitropism and auxin dependent \r\nROP activation. \r\nThese findings establish an integrated framework in which nuclear TIR1/AFB signaling and \r\ncell-surface ABP1-TMK signaling act in parallel to synchronize gene expression, cytoplasmic \r\nremodelling, and transporter regulation, thereby ensuring robust developmental plasticity in \r\nArabidopsis thaliana.

Positive feedback between auxin signaling and transport is a key prerequisite for (i) self-organizing processes including vascular tissue formation and (ii) directional growth responses such as gravitropism. Here we identify a mechanism, by which auxin signaling directly targets PIN auxin transporters. Via the cell-surface ABP1-TMK1 receptor module, auxin rapidly induces phosphorylation and thus stabilization of PIN2. Following gravistimulation, initial auxin asymmetry activates autophosphorylation of the TMK1 kinase. This induces TMK1 interaction with and phosphorylation of PIN2, stabilizing PIN2 at the lower root side, thus reinforcing asymmetric auxin flow for root bending. Upstream of TMK1 in this regulation, ABP1 acts redundantly with the root-expressed ABP1-LIKE auxin receptor ABL3. Such positive feedback between cell-surface auxin signaling and PIN-mediated polar auxin transport is fundamental for robust root gravitropism and presumably also for other self-organizing developmental phenomena.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2025","OA_place":"repository","acknowledgement":"We thank W.

These signalling\r\nmolecules form concentration gradients across tissues, thereby providing positional\r\ninformation that instructs the pattern of cell differentiation. Morphogen gradients are highly\r\ndynamic in space and time. Many factors such as morphogen production, spreading,\r\ndegradation, cellular rearrangements and others could contribute to changes in the gradient\r\nshape, yet how the spatiotemporal signalling dynamics arise in many systems is still unclear.\r\nWe studied the dynamics of morphogen signalling and tissue patterning in the developing\r\nvertebrate neural tube. In this system, neural crest, roof plate and distinct dorsal progenitor\r\nsubtypes are specified in a spatially and temporally ordered manner in response to dorsal-toventral gradients of BMP and WNT signalling activity. How the BMP and WNT gradients are\r\nestablished and interpreted to ensure ordered cell specification is poorly understood.\r\nTo address this question, we developed a 2D embryonic stem cell differentiation system that\r\ncaptures key features of dorsal neural tube development. In this system, differentiated\r\ncolonies display remarkable self-organised pattern formation in response to uniformly\r\napplied BMP ligand. We established a method of differentiating the colonies using\r\nmicrofabricated stencils, which allowed us to control the initial size and shape of colonies\r\nwithout confining cell migration and colony growth. This led to highly reproducible pattern\r\nformation that facilitates quantification.\r\nUsing this approach, we observed striking two-phase temporal dynamics of BMP signalling in\r\nour colonies: a BMP gradient rapidly forms from the periphery to the centre of colonies,\r\nsubsequently disappears and is re-established again in the second phase. By combining our\r\nquantitative data with a data-driven theoretical model, we uncovered a temporal relay\r\nmechanism that underlies this biphasic BMP signalling dynamics. The first signalling phase is\r\ncontrolled by fast tissue-autonomous negative feedback that restricts the duration of the\r\ninitial response to BMP. The early BMP activity gradient moreover controls the spatial\r\norganisation of the cell type pattern: the absence of a first phase results in disordered cell\r\ntype pattern. The second phase is controlled by slow positive regulation of BMP signalling by\r\nthe transcription factor LMX1A, a key regulator of roof plate identity. WNT promotes the\r\nsecond phase of BMP signalling via positive feedback on LMX1A.\r\nAltogether, the mechanism that we uncovered ensures the coupling of sequential\r\ndevelopmental events, making pattern formation spatially and temporally organised.\r\nFurthermore, this mechanism allows the BMP signalling pathway to be reused in different\r\ncontexts – first for the establishment of the neural plate border, and subsequently for dorsal\r\nneural progenitor patterning. Our study supports a general developmental principle in which\r\nmultiple morphogens interact with transcriptional networks resulting in complex\r\nspatiotemporal signalling dynamics that ultimately drive organised pattern formation.","lang":"eng"}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png"},"file":[{"date_updated":"2025-11-30T23:30:02Z","file_size":42879974,"embargo":"2025-11-30","date_created":"2025-05-30T09:10:22Z","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"cchlebak","checksum":"8cd7fe3ca990adbcafdece119aa0973d","relation":"main_file","file_id":"19764","file_name":"Thesis_Lehr_PDFA.pdf"},{"relation":"source_file","checksum":"0c87dd5fc803450a47b20736b5f86a2f","file_id":"19765","embargo_to":"open_access","file_name":"Thesis_Lehr_emptyPages.docx","file_size":18731094,"date_updated":"2025-11-30T23:30:02Z","access_level":"closed","date_created":"2025-05-30T09:31:15Z","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","creator":"cchlebak"}],"publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"ista":"Rus S. 2025.

To quantitatively study bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling dynamics in the mouse neural tube, we developed an embryonic stem cell differentiation system tailored for growing tissues. Differentiating cells form striking self-organized patterns of dorsal neural tube cell types driven by sequential phases of BMP signaling that are observed both in vitro and in vivo. Data-driven biophysical modeling showed that these dynamics result from coupling fast negative feedback with slow positive regulation of signaling by the specification of an endogenous BMP source. Thus, in contrast to relays that propagate morphogen signaling in space, we identify a BMP signaling relay that operates in time. This mechanism allows for a rapid initial concentration-sensitive response that is robustly terminated, thereby regulating balanced sequential cell type generation.

Traditional population genomic approaches that rely on site-based statistics in\r\narbitrary fixed windows face inherent limitations, as they conflate historical and\r\ncontemporary processes of divergence and overlook haplotype structure. Recent advances in\r\nwhole-genome sequencing and methods to infer ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs) now\r\noffer the opportunity to study genealogical relationships explicitly, revealing how lineages\r\ncoalesce and recombine through time. By directly analysing haplotype clustering by species\r\nor phenotype and their patterns of coalescence, ARG-based methods show promise for\r\ndiagnosing sweeps, identifying barrier loci maintained under divergent selection amid gene\r\nflow, and tracing their evolutionary history.\r\nIn this thesis, I explore the utility of genealogical approaches for studying species\r\ndivergence. In chapter 2, I propose a conceptual framework for defining haplotype blocks\r\nthrough the structure of the ARG, using simulations and empirical data to highlight how\r\ngenealogical processes generate rich and often overlooked haplotypic patterns.\r\nIn chapter 3, I examine the genomic basis of a key evolutionary innovation in marine\r\nsnails Littorina. These snails offer a unique opportunity to study an innovation because they\r\ninclude a very recent transition from egg-laying to live bearing, yet snails with the different\r\nreproductive modes are not reciprocally monophyletic. I exploited this by using topology\r\nclustering in ARG-derived local genealogical trees to pinpoint narrow genomic regions or\r\nhaplotype blocks that carry swept alleles, thus revealing that the transition from egg-laying\r\nto live-bearing involves multiple, live-bearer-specific sweeps.\r\nChapter 4 establishes a population-scale, phased genomic resource for Antirrhinum\r\nmajus, using cost-effective haplotagging, then optimizes imputation from low-coverage data\r\nagainst high-accuracy KASP sequencing to maximize sequence completeness with modest\r\naccuracy trade-offs against a traditional short-read sequence pipeline. A hybrid phasing\r\nstrategy combines molecular phasing with statistical phasing to generate phased whole\r\ngenome sequences of 1084 Antirrhinum individuals at a fraction of long-read sequencing\r\ncosts.\r\nIn chapter 5, I analyse hybridising populations from two replicate hybrid zones to find\r\na parallel genetic basis of flower colour, amidst the noise in genomic differentiation landscape\r\ndriven by variation in demographic history. While outlier genome scans of FST failed to dissect\r\nthe causes of differentiation, ARG-based topology clustering revealed a reuse of colour\r\nassociated haplotypes across hybrid zones. In addition to the biological insight, this chapter\r\nalso presents a comparison of the latest ARG inference tools, showing that signals of\r\nAbstract\r\nviii\r\ntopological clustering qualitatively agree between methods, despite differences in the tree\r\nsequences.\r\nNext, in chapter 6, by leveraging ~1000 individuals in one of the hybrid zones, I\r\nintegrated genome-wide association studies of floral pigmentation with genealogical\r\ninference, to test for additional colour loci, and confirm the effect of previously described loci.\r\nThis work demonstrates that flower colour variation is driven by a small number of large effect\r\nloci, while also hinting at the presence of a new candidate regulatory factor.\r\nFinally in chapter 7, in a preliminary analysis, I begin to dissect the genomic island of\r\nspeciation around Rosea/Eluta to understand its evolutionary origins. My results show that it\r\nconsists of 5 highly divergent loci, each of which is associated with flower colour. Using\r\npatterns of coalescence in genealogical trees, I find evidence of staggered selective sweeps\r\nand a persistent localized barrier to gene flow within an otherwise permeable genome.\r\nTogether, these chapters add to the increasing pool of studies using genealogical\r\napproaches to complement and extend site-based statistics to use haplotype structures in\r\nspeciation research. By tracking haplotypes directly and connecting genealogical clustering to\r\npopulation processes, ARG-based inference promises to provide new insights into how local\r\nselective pressures, demographic history, and long-term barriers interact to shape the\r\ngenomic architecture of divergence. By underscoring the value of ARGs in revealing the finescale origins and maintenance of biodiversity, this thesis presents cautious optimism about\r\nthe benefits of using genealogical inference to learn more than what site-based statistics\r\ncould tell us.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2025","file":[{"creator":"apal","content_type":"application/pdf","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2025-12-01T13:53:36Z","embargo":"2026-03-01","file_size":42723135,"date_updated":"2026-03-01T23:30:03Z","file_name":"2025_Pal_Arka_Thesis.pdf","file_id":"20721","relation":"main_file","checksum":"7a10a738d58524aebb5dcbd9b34c21c5"},{"embargo_to":"open_access","file_name":"2025_Pal_Arka_Thesis.docx","file_id":"20722","relation":"source_file","checksum":"166d832b08d0434ce407f8f3cb930fe5","content_type":"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","creator":"apal","access_level":"closed","date_created":"2025-12-01T13:53:39Z","file_size":60632116,"date_updated":"2026-03-01T23:30:03Z"}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png"},"publication_status":"published","has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"apa":"Pal, A.

However, interpreting the ‘genomic landscape’ of speciation is complicated, because genome scans conflate multiple processes, most of which are not informative about gene flow. However, studying replicated population contrasts, including multiple incidences of secondary contact, can strengthen inferences. In this paper, we use linked-read sequencing (haplotagging), FST scans and genealogical methods to characterise the genomic landscape associated with replicate hybrid zone formation. We studied two flower colour varieties of the common snapdragon, Antirrhinum majus subspecies majus, that form secondary hybrid zones in multiple independent valleys in the Pyrenees. Consistent with past work, we found very low differentiation at one well-studied zone (Planoles). However, at a second zone (Avellanet), we found stronger differentiation and greater heterogeneity, which we argue is due to differences in the amount of introgression following secondary contact. Topology weighting of genealogical trees identified loci where haplotype diversity was associated with the two snapdragon varieties. Two of the strongest associations were at previously identified flower colour loci: Flavia, that affects yellow pigmentation, and Rosea/Eluta, two linked loci that affect magenta pigmentation. Preliminary analysis of coalescence times provides additional evidence for selective sweeps at these loci and barriers to gene flow. Our study highlights the impact of demographic history on the differentiation landscape, emphasising the need to distinguish between historical divergence and recent introgression.","lang":"eng"}],"year":"2025","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"project":[{"grant_number":"P32166","name":"Snapdragon Speciation","_id":"05959E1C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E"},{"grant_number":"101055327","name":"Understanding the evolution of continuous genomes","_id":"bd6958e0-d553-11ed-ba76-86eba6a76c00"}],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.70067","intvolume":"        34","issue":"22","article_number":"e70067","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","author":[{"last_name":"Pal","full_name":"Pal, Arka","id":"6AAB2240-CA9A-11E9-9C1A-D9D1E5697425","first_name":"Arka","orcid":"0000-0002-4530-8469"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-1145-9226","id":"428A94B0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Daria","last_name":"Shipilina","full_name":"Shipilina, Daria"},{"first_name":"Alan","last_name":"Le Moan","full_name":"Le Moan, Alan"},{"first_name":"Adrian J.","last_name":"Mcnairn","full_name":"Mcnairn, Adrian J."},{"full_name":"Grenier, Jennifer K.","last_name":"Grenier","first_name":"Jennifer K."},{"last_name":"Kucka","full_name":"Kucka, Marek","first_name":"Marek"},{"full_name":"Coop, Graham","last_name":"Coop","first_name":"Graham"},{"full_name":"Chan, Yingguang Frank","last_name":"Chan","first_name":"Yingguang Frank"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-8548-5240","first_name":"Nicholas H","id":"4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Barton, Nicholas H","last_name":"Barton"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-4014-8478","id":"419049E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"David","last_name":"Field","full_name":"Field, David"},{"full_name":"Stankowski, Sean","last_name":"Stankowski","first_name":"Sean","id":"43161670-5719-11EA-8025-FABC3DDC885E"}],"OA_type":"hybrid","department":[{"_id":"NiBa"}],"oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Wiley","article_type":"original","oa_version":"Published Version","volume":34,"file_date_updated":"2026-01-05T13:47:47Z","ddc":["570"],"date_updated":"2026-11-03T23:31:22Z","PlanS_conform":"1","related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://ista.ac.at/en/news/snapdragon-secrets/","relation":"press_release","description":"News on ISTA website"}],"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"20694"}]},"date_created":"2025-08-17T22:01:37Z","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd"},{"oa":1,"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"PreCl"},{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"RySh"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","author":[{"last_name":"Önal","full_name":"Önal, Hüseyin C","id":"4659D740-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Hüseyin C","orcid":"0000-0002-2771-2011"}],"supervisor":[{"last_name":"Shigemoto","full_name":"Shigemoto, Ryuichi","id":"499F3ABC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Ryuichi","orcid":"0000-0001-8761-9444"}],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-19271","project":[{"grant_number":"694539","name":"In situ analysis of single channel subunit composition in neurons: physiological implication in synaptic plasticity and behaviour","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"25CA28EA-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"name":"International IST Doctoral Program","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"2564DBCA-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"665385"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"degree_awarded":"PhD","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","date_created":"2025-02-28T14:15:53Z","related_material":{"record":[{"id":"9437","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"},{"status":"public","id":"15084","relation":"part_of_dissertation"}]},"date_updated":"2026-10-21T08:33:44Z","file_date_updated":"2026-02-01T23:30:02Z","ddc":["570","571","573","599"],"oa_version":"Published Version","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","date_published":"2025-03-04T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.15479/AT-ISTA-19271","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2663-337X"]},"type":"dissertation","ec_funded":1,"month":"03","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","year":"2025","abstract":[{"text":"The medial habenula (MHb) is implicated in regulating emotional responses\r\nto aversive events.

Genetic studies in Arabidopsis have identified core components of auxin \r\nsignalling and established the classical transcriptional regulation mechanism. This classical \r\nparadigm recognizes TRANSPORT INHIBITOR RESPONSE 1 (TIR1)/AUXIN \r\nSIGNALLING F-BOX (AFB) proteins as auxin receptors possessing E3 ubiquitin ligase \r\nactivity. Auxin functions as a \"molecular glue\" enhancing TIR1/AFB-Aux/IAA \r\n(AUXIN/INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACID) inhibitor interactions, leading to Aux/IAAs’ \r\nubiquitination and degradation. This process releases AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) \r\nfrom repression, enabling transcriptional activation of auxin-responsive genes. Notably, the \r\ndiscovery of adenylate cyclase (AC) activity in TIR1/AFBs, catalysing cAMP production from \r\nATP, presents novel transcriptional regulatory possibilities, though cAMP's mechanistic role \r\nin auxin signalling remains unclear. Beyond transcriptional regulation (slow response) a non\r\ntranscriptional pathway (rapid response) mediated by AFB1 also exists, as auxin triggers rapid \r\nroot growth inhibition within 30 seconds. How TIR1 and AFB1, with their distinct subcellular \r\nlocalizations, differentially regulate transcriptional and non-transcriptional processes remains \r\nunclear. To address these two key questions, this study conducted the following investigations.  \r\nTIR1 and AFB1 display distinct subcellular localization patterns, with AFB1 specifically \r\nmediating auxin-induced rapid root growth inhibition. To examine whether subcellular \r\nlocalization differences contribute to functional divergence between TIR1 and AFB1, we \r\nutilized microfluidic systems combined with genetic complementation assays. Nuclear export \r\nsignal-fused TIR1 failed to rescue the rapid response defects observed in afb1 mutants. In \r\ncontrast, nuclear localization signal-fused AFB1 exhibited dual functional deficiencies: it \r\nneither restored the rapid response impairment in afb1 mutants nor compensated for \r\ntranscriptional regulation defects in tir1 mutants which limitation stemmed from AFB1's \r\nintrinsic incapacity to assemble functional SCF complexes. These results collectively establish \r\nthat the functional specialization of TIR1 and AFB1 is governed by both their subcellular \r\ncompartmentalization and inherent biochemical characteristics. \r\nThe mechanism by which cAMP derived from the auxin receptor TIR1/AFB modulates \r\ntranscriptional regulation remains undefined. To address this, we genetically dissociated TIR1 \r\nAC activity from its E3 ubiquitin ligase function to investigate cAMP's signalling role. AC\r\ninactivating mutations preserved TIR1-mediated Aux/IAAs’ degradation but abolished ARF\r\ni \r\ndependent transcriptional activation. tir1afb2 mutants expressing AC-deficient TIR1 variants \r\nfailed to restore transcriptional responses. Crucially, compartmentalized cAMP accumulation \r\nwithin Aux/IAA - ARF complexes vicinity triggered auxin signalling independently of both \r\nauxin perception and Aux/IAAs’ degradation, confirming its secondary messenger identity. \r\nFurther mechanistic analysis demonstrated cAMP directly interact with ARF. cAMP \r\ndirectly promotes ARF dissociation from Aux/IAA repressors and enhances ARF \r\nhomodimerization. Genetic complementation assays revealed that ARF mutants lacking \r\nconserved cAMP-binding motifs exhibited partial functional recovery, providing direct \r\nevidence for cAMP-ARF physical interaction during signal propagation. \r\nThese findings collectively challenge the established model of auxin signalling and define \r\na novel TIR1-cAMP-ARF regulatory axis, substantially advancing our comprehension of \r\nauxin-mediated physiological regulation.

","year":"2025","abstract":[{"text":"Prostaglandins play a central role in the inflammatory response. Prostaglandins are synthesized \r\nin a rate-limiting manner by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (Cox), which exists in two isoforms: \r\nthe Cox-2 and Cox-1 isoforms. Traditionally, Cox-1 is thought to mediate homeostatic \r\nfunctions due to its constitutive expression due to its constitutive expression, whereas Cox-2 is \r\ntemporary induced in response to inflammatory stimuli and is associated with the inflammatory \r\nresponse. Interestingly, in the central nervous system, Cox-1 is predominantly expressed in \r\nmicroglia. As the resident immune cells of the brain, microglia play a key role in inflammation. \r\nCox-1 expressing microglia are increased in neurodegenerative diseases, and both global \r\nknockout of Cox-1 and selective Cox-1 inhibition has been shown to ameliorate inflammatory \r\neffects in neurodegenerative diseases. However, direct evidence elucidating how microglial \r\nCox-1 expression influences their response to insults remains limited and warrants further \r\ninvestigation. \r\nFirst, I utilize the optic nerve crush (ONC) model to study the microglial response to injury and \r\ninflammation, confirming a reactive microglial response in both the crushed and uninjured \r\ncontralateral retina using CD68 expression and morphological analysis. While previous studies \r\nreported retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss in the contralateral eye, I did not observe this, \r\nsuggesting that unilateral ONC induces microglial activation in the contralateral eye without \r\nRGC degeneration. To explore the role of Cox-1 in this response, I generated a mouse model \r\nwith microglia-specific deletion of Cox-1. After ONC, these mice exhibited an attenuated \r\nmicroglial response in both the ipsilateral and contralateral retinas, as well as in visual \r\nprocessing areas of the brain. Notably, Cox-2 does not show any expression after ONC in both \r\nwild-type and Cox-1 knockout mice Additionally, Cox-1KO mice show a reduction in \r\nphagocytic cups and a reduction in microglia proliferation after ONC. However, due to \r\nreproducibility problems of the observed phenotype, even after the generation of two new \r\nmouse models, I cannot draw any definitive conclusions based on the data. \r\nNext, due to the ambiguity of the mouse model, I explored an alternative route to investigate \r\nfunctional consequences of Cox-1 in microglia. I generated a COX1 knock-out human induced \r\npluripotent cell (hIPSC) line using CRISPR/Cas9. These cells are were differentiated in \r\nmicroglia-like cells and integrated in dissociated retinal organoids according to protocols \r\ndeveloped in our lab. In response to LPS and POLY(I:C) stimulation, the release and expression \r\nof cytokines and chemokines was decreased in COX1 knockout cells. However, the \r\nprostaglandin PGE2 was not increased in microglia-like cells in both control and COX1 \r\nknockout cells.  \r\nOverall, the results from the COX1 knock-out microglia-like cells suggests that COX1 \r\nexpression in microglia play a role in neuroinflammation by affecting the release of \r\ninflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Hereby further challenging that the dogma of the \r\nCox-1 isoform involved in housekeeping functions and the Cox-2 isoform involved in \r\ninflammation applies for the central nervous system.
