  abstract = {{C}losely related to economically important crops, the grass {B}rachypodium distachyon has been originally established as a pivotal species for grass genomics but more recently flourished as a model for developmental biology. {G}rasses encompass more than 10,000 species and cover more than 40% of the world land area from tropical to temperate regions. {G}iven that grasses also supply about a fifth of the world's dietary protein as cereal grains, unlocking the sources of phenotypic variation in {B}. distachyon is hence of prime interest in fundamental and applied research in agronomy, ecology and evolution. {W}e present here the {B}. distachyon diversity panel, which encompasses 332 fully sequenced accessions covering the whole species distribution from {S}pain to {I}raq. {B}y combining population genetics, niche modeling and landscape genomics, we suggest that {B}. distachyon recolonized {E}urope and the {M}iddle {E}ast following the last glacial maximum. {C}onsequently, the species faced new environmental conditions which led to clear associations between bioclimatic variables and genetic factors as well as footprints of positive selection in the genome. {A}ltogether, this genomic resource offers a powerful alternative to {A}rabidopsis thaliana to investigate the genetic bases of adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in plants and more specifically in monocots.},
