A century after scientists first noted that the environment contributes to the evolution of adaptive differences among plant populations, scientists are on the verge of figuring out how that adaptation happens — by combining results from huge “common garden” experiments with genomic sequencing. That’s the contention of Penn State molecular geneticist Jill Hamilton, a leader […]
