Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Despite chromosomal evolution being one of the major drivers of diversification in plants, we do not yet have a clear view of how new chromosome rearrangements become fixed within populations, which is a crucial step forward for understanding chromosomal speciation. METHODS: In this study, we test the role of genetic drift in the establishment of new chromosomal variants in the context of...
