Over the last 10 years, high-density SNP arrays and DNA re-sequencing have illuminated
the majority of the genotypic space for a number of organisms, including humans, maize …

It is increasingly important to improve our understanding of the genetic basis of local
adaptation because of its relevance to climate change, crop and animal production, and …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

Uncovering the genetic and evolutionary basis of local adaptation is a major focus of
evolutionary biology. The recent development of cost-effective methods for obtaining high …

Many studies have recorded phenotypic changes in natural populations and attributed them
to climate change. However, controversy and uncertainty has arisen around three levels of …

Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral
molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Landscape genomics is an emerging research field that aims to identify the environmental
factors that shape adaptive genetic variation and the gene variants that drive local …

Long-term climate change and periodic environmental extremes threaten food and fuel
security and global crop productivity,–. Although molecular and adaptive breeding strategies …

Signals of local adaptation have been found in many plants and animals, highlighting the
heterogeneity in the distribution of adaptive genetic variation throughout species ranges. In …
