Vendramin, Giovanni Giuseppe | Avanzi, Camilla | Gonzalez-Martinez, Santiago C. | Grivet, Delphine
Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) has been studied with genetic markers over the last 20 years, in order to decipher its evolutionary history at both full-distribution and local scales, incorporating new insights as molecular technologies evolve. In this process, knowledge has accumulated on population diversity and structure, demographic history, gene flow and adaptation. This chapter provides an historical overview of the accumulated knowledge on the evolutionary history of Aleppo pine based on molecular markers, and outlines what still remains to be done to fully understand how this species has adapted to its current distribution, and how it will be able to withstand ongoing selective pressures under a Mediterranean climate.
