Quantitative traits in plants are controlled by a large number of genes and their interaction
with the environment. To disentangle the genetic architecture of such traits, natural variation …

Two of the most relevant technological innovations that in the last decade have resulted in
significant advances in plant science are the development of next-generation sequencing …

Studying the genetic regulation of expression variation is a key method to dissect complex
phenotypic traits. To examine the genetic architecture of regulatory variation in Arabidopsis …

A major challenge in evolutionary biology and plant breeding is to identify the genetic basis
of complex quantitative traits, including those that contribute to adaptive variation. Here we …

There has been a long standing interest in the relationship between genetic and phenotypic
variation in natural populations, in order to understand the genetic basis of adaptation and to …

We introduce a rational approach for associating genes with plant traits by combined use of
a genome-scale functional network and targeted reverse genetic screening. We present a …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have developed into a valuable approach for
identifying the genetic basis of phenotypic variation. In this article, we provide an overview of …

Arabidopsis thaliana is an important model organism for understanding the genetics and
molecular biology of plants. Its highly selfing nature, small size, short generation time, small …

The level of within-species polymorphism differs greatly among genes in a genome. Many
genomic studies have investigated the relationship between gene polymorphism and factors …

Efforts to identify loci underlying complex traits generally assume that most genetic variance
is additive. Here, we examined the genetics of Arabidopsis thaliana root length and found …
