Our paper, with Dr Wei and @gustavo_silva about genomics of colonization stressful habitats around the Atacama in a wild tomato species is out in @NewPhytologist. Interestingly, our results support that colonization to new stressful habitats is mediated by the emergence of adaptive variation in numerous core elements of gene networks related, for example, to flowering time. https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.18634.
