Abstract excerpt
Serpentine soils provide a difficult substrate for plant colonization and growth and therefore represent an ideal system for studying the genetics of habitat adaptation and the evolution of plant-ecotypes. Using an F2 mapping population derived from an intraspecific cross between a serpentine and a nonserpentine ecotype of Silene vulgaris, the genetic architecture of seven morphological, physiological and...
