Abstract
"The project will attempt to detect and distinguish the genetic impacts of selection and genetic drift in a collection of wild and domesticated Brassica oleracea accessions. This will be achieved by comparing the diversity of genetic markers located along B. oleracea linkage group O6, in particular those in the vicinity of the AP1-a gene which is involved in cauliflower curd formation. The region surrounding Ap1-a has been subjected to vastly different selection pressures among different B. oleracea crop types and wild populations and therefore will be informative regarding the genetic processes occurring during domestication."
