In a rapidly changing climate, flowering time (FL) adaptation is important to maximize seed
yield in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.). However, our understanding of the genetic mechanism …

The pathways responsible for flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana comprise one of the
best characterized genetic networks in plants. We harness this extensive molecular genetic …

Relating molecular variation to phenotypic diversity is a central goal in evolutionary biology.
In Arabidopsis thaliana, FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a major determinant of variation in …

Flowering time is a key life-history trait in the plant life cycle. Most studies to unravel the
genetics of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana have been performed under greenhouse …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has improved our understanding of complex traits,
but challenges exist in distinguishing causation versus association caused by linkage …

Adaptation constraints within crop species have resulted in limited genetic diversity in some
breeding programs and areas where new crops have been introduced, for example, for lentil …

Flowering time is a key adaptive trait in plants and is tightly controlled by a complex
regulatory network that responds to seasonal signals. In a rapidly changing climate …

Key message The dynamic genetic architecture of flowering time in chrysanthemum was
elucidated by GWAS. Thirty-six known genes and 14 candidate genes were identified …

Main conclusion Multi-locus GWAS detected several known and candidate genes
responsible for flowering time in chrysanthemum. The associations could greatly increase …

The feasibility of using linkage disequilbrium (LD) to fine-map loci underlying natural
variation in Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated by looking for associations between …
