Genetic and physiological basis of adaptive salt tolerance divergence between coastal and inland Mimulus guttatus.

Abstract excerpt

Local adaptation is a well-established phenomenon whereby habitat-mediated natural selection drives the differentiation of populations. However, little is known about how specific traits and loci combine to cause local adaptation. Here, we conducted a set of experiments to determine which physiological mechanisms contribute to locally adaptive divergence in salt tolerance between coastal perennial and inland...
