Postglacial colonization history reflects in the genetic structure of natural populations of Festuca rubra in Europe

Abstract We conducted a large‐scale population genetic survey of genetic diversity of the host grass Festuca rubra s.l., which fitness can be highly dependent on its symbiotic fungus Epichloë festucae, to evaluate genetic variation and population structure across the European range. The 27 studied p...
