This project investigates the ecological genetics of climatic adaptation in Hordeum murinum, a widespread wild relative of barley. The PhD student will combine fine-mapping of adaptive loci with comparative genetic and genomic analyses between H. murinum and H. vulgare. The work will integrate phenotypic, genetic mapping, and genomic data to identify adaptive genes and assess whether the underlying adaptive variation is conserved across closely related Hordeum species.
