Abstract excerpt
Three previous reports of microgeographical variation of glycerate dehydrogenase (Gly) frequencies in piñon, Pinus edulis, established the hypothesis that Gly frequencies contribute to adaptation to heterogeneous environments, specifically to variation in soil moisture. In each of these studies, the frequency of the Gly-3 allele or of Gly-33 homozygotes was higher on dry sites than on nearby moist sites. Here we...
