Coexistence of trichome variation in a natural plant population: a combined study using ecological and candidate gene approaches.

The coexistence of distinct phenotypes within populations has long been investigated in evolutionary ecology. Recent studies have identified the genetic basis of distinct phenotypes, but it is poorly understood how the variation in candidate loci is maintained in natural environments. In this study,...
