Adaptive genetic differentiation in a predominantly self-pollinating species analyzed by transplanting into natural environment, crossbreeding and Q(ST)-F(ST) test.

Abstract excerpt

• Both genetic drift and natural selection result in genetic/phenotypic differentiation over space. I analyzed the role of local adaptation in the genetic differentiation of populations of the annual grass Hordeum spontaneum sampled along an aridity gradient. • The study included the introduction of plants having desert vs nondesert origin into natural (desert) environment, analysis of population differentiation...
