Assessment of shared alleles in drought-associated candidate genes among southern California white oak species (Quercus sect. Quercus)

Abstract Background Hybridization and introgression are common phenomena among oak species. These processes can be beneficial by introducing favorable genetic variants across species (adaptive introgression). Given that drought is an important stress, impacting physiological and morphological variat...
