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 …

A fundamental goal in plant biology is to identify and understand the variation underlying
plants' adaptation to their environment. Climate change has given new urgency to this goal …

Domestication of orphan crops could be explored by editing their genomes. Genome editing
has a lot of promise for enhancing agricultural output, and there is a lot of interest in …

Local adaptation is a fundamental phenomenon in evolutionary biology, with relevance to
formation of ecotypes, and ultimately new species, and application to restoration and …

The genomics revolution has sparked interest in using our increased understanding of the
loci involved in phenotypic variation and adaptation to advance the conservation of …

The rate of global climate change is projected to outpace the ability of many natural
populations and species to adapt. Assisted migration (AM), which is defined as the managed …

Especially in low‐income nations, new and orphan crops provide important opportunities to
improve diet quality and the sustainability of food production, being rich in nutrients, capable …

New computational methods and next‐generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have
enabled the use of thousands or hundreds of thousands of genetic markers to address …

Recent work has shown that Arabidopsis thaliana contains genetic groups originating from
different ice age refugia, with one particular group comprising over 95% of the current …

Understanding the genetic bases underlying climate adaptation is a key element to predict
the potential of species to face climate warming. Although substantial climate variation is …
