Abstract excerpt
Species share homologous genes to a large extent, but it is not yet known to what degree the same loci have been targets for natural selection in different species. Natural variation in flowering time is determined to a large degree by 2 genes, FLOWERING LOCUS C and FRIGIDA, in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we examine whether FRIGIDA has a role in differences in flowering time between and within natural populations...
