Interplay between extreme drift and selectionintensities favors the fixation of beneficial mutations in selfing maize populations
A. Desbiez-Piat, A. Le Rouzic, M. Tenaillon, C. Dillmann
The paper investigates how extreme drift and selection intensities affect mutation fixation in selfing maize populations, finding that beneficial mutations are enriched and small-effect mutations are facilitated by environmental stochasticity and selection variation.
