Gene Flow and Genetic Structure in the Wild–Weedy–Domesticated Complex of Phaseolus lunatus L. in its Mesoamerican Center of Domestication and Diversity

ABSTRACT The role of gene flow in autogamous domesticated species diversity and their wild relatives is an issue that requires more field data. Using nine microsatellite loci, an analysis was done of the magnitude and direction of gene flow in the wild–weedy–domesticated complex of Phaseolus lunatus L. under traditional agricultural conditions in four regions on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, its…
