Abstract excerpt
The effects of factors known to influence the level of polymorphism at microsatellite loci were studied using 99 markers and seven lines of bread wheat. Mutational factors as well as indirect selective events shape diversity at these loci. Theory predicts that the selection of favorable alleles s...
