Characterising the Genomic Landscape of Differentiation Between Annual and Perennial Rye.

ABSTRACT: Annuality and perenniality represent two different life-history strategies in plants, and an analysis of genomic differentiation between closely related species of different life histories bears the potential to identify the underlying targets of selection. Additionally, understanding the interactions between patterns of recombination and signatures of natural selection is a central aim in evolutionary biology, because patterns of recombination shape the evolution of genomes by affecting the efficacy of selection. Here, our aim was to characterise the landscape of genomic differentiation between weedy annual rye (Secale cereale L.) and wild perennial rye (Secale strictum C. Presl), and explore the extent to which signatures of selection are influenced by recombination rate va
