Evolution and Genetic Population Structure of Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola) and Its RGC2 Resistance Gene Cluster

Hanhui Kuang; Herman J. van Eck; Delphine Sicard; Richard W. Michelmore, and Eviatar Nevo · 2008

Catalogue summary

AFLP and resistance-gene markers from hundreds of prickly-lettuce accessions identify Armenian and eastern Turkish populations as the species' most diverse, with regional genome-wide diversity correlated to variation at the RGC2 cluster.

Why this matters

The Armenian plant samples help locate a crop relative's center of diversity and inform research on disease-resistance resources under strong environmental stress.
