The demographic history of the wild crop relative Brachypodium distachyon is shaped by distinct past and present ecological niches by Minadakis, Nikolaos, Williams, Hefin, Horvath, Robert, Caković, Danka, Stritt, Christoph, Thieme, Michael, Bourgeois, Yann, Roulin, Anne C.

“…Given that grasses also supply about a fifth of the world's dietary protein as cereal grains, unlocking the sources of phenotypic variation in B. distachyon is hence of prime interest in fundamental and applied research in agronomy, ecology and evolution. We present here the B. distachyon diversity panel, which encompasses 332 fully sequenced accessions covering the whole species distribution from Spain to Iraq. …”
