Rapid evolution of an adaptive cyanogenesis cline in introduced North American white clover (Trifolium repens L.)

White clover is polymorphic for cyanogenesis (HCN production after tissue damage), and this herbivore defence polymorphism has served as a classic model for studying adaptive variation. The cyanogenic phenotype requires two interacting biochemical components; the presence/absence of each component i...
