Ancient events and climate adaptive capacity shaped distinct chloroplast genetic structure in the oak lineages

Ancient events and climate adaptive capacity shaped distinct chloroplast genetic structure in the oak lineages

Abstract Background Understanding the origin of genetic variation is the key to predict how species will respond to future climate change. The genus Quercus is a species-rich and ecologically diverse woody genus that dominates a wide range of forests and woodland communities of the Northern Hemisphe...
