Explaining intraspecific diversity in plant secondary metabolites in an ecological context
Plant secondary metabolites (PSM s) are ubiquitous in plants and play many ecological
roles. Each compound can vary in presence and/or quantity, and the composition of the …

What has natural variation taught us about plant development, physiology, and adaptation?
Nearly 100 genes and functional polymorphisms underlying natural variation in plant
development and physiology have been identified. In crop plants, these include genes …

Fifteen compelling open questions in plant cell biology
As scientists, we are at least as excited about the open questions—the things we do not
know—as the discoveries. Here, we asked 15 experts to describe the most compelling open …

Inheritance Beyond Plain Heritability: Variance-Controlling Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana
The phenotypic effect of a gene is normally described by the mean-difference between
alternative genotypes. A gene may, however, also influence the phenotype by causing a …
