Evidence of heterogeneous selection on quantitative traits of Prosopis flexuosa (Leguminosae) from multivariate QST-FST test
Prosopis flexuosa is an arboreal Leguminosae that grows in arid and semiarid temperate zones of Argentina, in the Monte eco-region. It is a promising native forest species for recovering arid and semiarid regions because it plays an important role in erosion control as well as in soil fertility. Fur...

Prosopis flexuosa is an arboreal Leguminosae that grows in arid and semiarid temperate zones of Argentina, in the Monte eco-region. It is a promising native forest species for recovering arid and semiarid regions because it plays an important role in erosion control as well as in soil fertility. Furthermore, it provides diverse economical resources. The main challenge to the forestry sector is finding a balance between production and forest protection. For this purpose, it is necessary to gather information about genetic parameters. In this study, we measured the distribution of the variation of 14 quantitative traits in an experimental half-sib stand, where families are representative of hierarchically structured populations. We applied a multivariate extension of the classical QST-FST neutrality test to determine the relative importance of drift versus selection in the distribution of genetic variability.
