Stronger genetic differentiation among within-population genetic groups than among populations in Scots pine provides new insights into within-population genetic structuring
Abstract We investigated the presence of spatial genetic groups within forest tree populations and determined if the genetic divergence among these groups is greater than that between populations using Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) as a model species. We genotyped 890 adult trees of Scots pine in si...
