Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

The analysis of polymorphism data is becoming increasingly important as a complementary
tool to classical genetic analyses. Nevertheless, despite plunging sequencing costs …

Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

The identity of the cell files necessary for the leaf-to-leaf transmission of wound signals
plants has been debated for decades. In Arabidopsis, wounding initiates the glutamate …

The study of local adaptation is rendered difficult by many evolutionary confounding
phenomena (for example, genetic drift and demographic history). When complex traits are …

Background Microsatellite markers are widely used for estimating genetic diversity within
and differentiation among populations. However, it has rarely been tested whether such …

Chickpea is one of the most important pulse crops worldwide, being an excellent source of
protein. It is grown under rain-fed conditions averaging yields of 1 t/ha, far from its potential …

Studies of genetic adaptation in plant populations along elevation gradients in mountains
have a long history, but there has until now been neither a synthesis of how frequently plant …

Testing how populations are locally adapted and predicting their response to their future
environment is of key importance in view of climate change. Landscape genomics is a …

While traits and trait plasticity are partly genetically based, investigating epigenetic
mechanisms may provide more nuanced understanding of the mechanisms underlying …
