Plant regeneration is essential for survival upon wounding and is, hence, considered to be a
strong natural selective trait. The capacity of plant tissues to regenerate in vitro, however …

Arabidopsis thaliana is the most prominent model system in plant molecular biology and
genetics. Although its ecology was initially neglected, collections of various genotypes …

We study natural DNA polymorphisms and associated phenotypes in the Arabidopsis
relative Cardamine hirsuta. We observed strong genetic differentiation among several …

Clonal propagation and genetic engineering of plants requires regeneration, but many
species are recalcitrant and there is large variability in explant responses. Here, we perform …

Modern plant breeding, such as genomic selection and gene editing, is based on the
knowledge of the genetic architecture of desired traits. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis …

Understanding plant responses to individual stresses does not mean that we understand
real-world situations, where stresses usually combine and interact. These interactions arise …

Investigating the evolution of complex phenotypes and the underlying molecular bases of
their variation is critical to understand how organisms adapt to their environment. Applying …

We investigated early vegetative growth of natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions in cold,
nonfreezing temperatures, similar to temperatures these plants naturally encounter in fall at …

Understanding the genetic architecture of adventitious root and related shoot traits will
facilitate the cultivation of superior genotypes. In this study, we measured 12 adventitious …

The capacity of organisms to tune their development in response to environmental cues is
pervasive in nature. This phenotypic plasticity is particularly striking in plants, enabled by …
