Haplotype Blocks Are Associated With Rapid Local Adaptation to Environmental Shifts in Wild Barley.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic mechanisms of local adaptation must be highly responsive in geographic regions where climate is changing rapidly. The Levant region is a critical biodiversity hotspot and the distribution edge for many species, including the wild ancestor of domesticated barley. This region is under an accelerated desertification process, thus enforcing a rapid genomic response to the projected environmental changes. To...
