Journal ArticleDOI
Microsatellites: genomic distribution, putative functions and mutational mechanisms: a review.
TL;DR: A review of the available data related to SSR distribution in coding and non-coding regions of genomes and SSR functional importance is presented in this article, where the role of two putative mutational mechanisms, replication slippage and recombination, and their interaction in SSR variation is discussed.
Book ChapterDOI
The Evolutionary Significance of Genetic Diversity: Ecological, Demographic and Life History Correlates
TL;DR: The evolutionary significance of genetic diversity of proteins in nature remains controversial despite the numerous protein studies conducted electrophoretically during the last two decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fei Dai,Eviatar Nevo,Dezhi Wu,Jordi Comadran,Meixue Zhou,Long Qiu,Zhong-Hua Chen,Avigdor Beiles,Guoxiong Chen,Guoping Zhang +9 more
TL;DR: The results confirmed the existence of Tibetan wild barley and suggested that the split between the wild barleys in the Near East and those in Tibet occurred around 2.76 million years ago, and indicated that the Tibetan Plateau and its vicinity is one of the centers of domestication of cultivated barley.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of wild emmer wheat in Israel and Turkey : Structure, evolution, and application in breeding.
Eviatar Nevo,Avigdor Beiles +1 more
TL;DR: During the evolutionary history of wild emmer, diversifying natural selection, through climatic and edaphic factors, was a major agent of genetic structure and differentiation at both the single and multilocus levels, displaying an “archipelago” population genetics and ecology structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and environmental associations of wild wheat, Triticum dicoccoides, in Israel.
TL;DR: The results suggest the operation of natural selection in population genetic structure, local adaptive genetic differentiation caused by diversifying selection through climate and soil, and the guidelines for sampling these resources for use in wheat breeding programs.
