Abstract excerpt
Technological advances in metabolomics, transcriptomics and genomics have facilitated the detection of genes that contribute to diversification in plant secondary metabolism. Statistical tools from molecular population genetics may help in evaluating whether the corresponding genes or genomic regions carry a signature of selection and answering the question of whether novel compounds are 'adaptive'. Gene...
