Assessing Phenotypic Variability in Some Eastern European Insular Populations of the Climatic Relict L.

Through its natural or cultivated insular population distribution, L. is a paramount species which is exceptionally suitable for studying phenotypic variability and plasticity through the assessment of morphological, physiological, biochemical and genomic features with respect to acclimation and/or adaptation efficiency. The current study is focused on four insular populations of from Eastern Europe (i.
