Evidence for selection in response to radiation exposure: Pinus sylvestris in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Abstract excerpt

Changes of genetic structures due to viability selection are likely to occur in populations exposed to rapidly and extremely changing environmental conditions after catastrophic events. However, very little is known about the extent of selective responses and in particular the proportion of the genome involved in putatively adaptive reactions for non-model plants. We used amplified fragment length polymorphisms...
