Genomic adaptation to drought in wild barley is driven by edaphic natural selection at the Tabigha Evolution Slope [Evolution]
Ecological divergence at a microsite suggests adaptive evolution, and this study examined two abutting wild barley populations, each 100 m across, differentially adapted to drought tolerance on two contrasting soil types, Terra Rossa and basalt at the Tabigha Evolution Slope, Israel. We resequenced the genomes of seven and six wild...
