Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have documented molecular variability in plant virus populations, but few have assessed the relative contribution of natural selection and genetic drift in generating the observed pattern of diversity. To this end, gene function, environment and phylogenetic history were examined to observe the effect on genetic diversity and population structure of the PAV and PAS species of Barley yellow dwarf...
