Environmental conditions are strong selective forces, which may influence adaptation and speciation. The wild tomato species <i>Solanum chilense</i>, native to South America, is exposed to a range of abiotic stress factors. To identify signatures of natural selection and local adaptation, we analysed 16 genes involved in the abiotic stress response and compared the results to a set of reference genes in 23 populations across the entire species range. The abiotic stress-responsive genes are chara ...[more]
