Running to stand still: adaptation and the response of plants to rapid climate change
AS Jump, J Peñuelas - Ecology letters, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Climate is a potent selective force in natural populations, yet the importance of adaptation in
the response of plant species to past climate change has been questioned. As many species …

Genome‐wide association genetics of an adaptive trait in lodgepole pine
Pine cones that remain closed and retain seeds until fire causes the cones to open (cone
serotiny) represent a key adaptive trait in a variety of pine species. In lodgepole pine, there …

The genetic differentiation at quantitative trait loci under local adaptation
V Le Corre, A Kremer - Molecular ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Most adaptive traits are controlled by large number of genes that may all together be the
targets of selection. Adaptation may thus involve multiple but not necessarily substantial …

What has natural variation taught us about plant development, physiology, and adaptation?
Nearly 100 genes and functional polymorphisms underlying natural variation in plant
development and physiology have been identified. In crop plants, these include genes …
