Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Wild Arabidopsis thaliana showed at least three divergent sequence types in the F18L15-130 region (trimorphism) instead of two.
- Observation Intragenic recombinations among the divergent sequence types generated four recombinant sequence types.
- Observation Nucleotide variation in A. thaliana was the highest among the genes investigated in this plant so far (pi = 0.0226, theta = 0.0228).
- Observation Tajima and Fu and Li tests detected no deviation from neutrality, except at replacement sites.
- Observation At replacement sites, Fu and Li test value was significantly negative.
