The evolution of diverse life history strategies has allowed Arabidopsis thaliana to adapt to
worldwide locations, spanning a range of latitudinal and environmental conditions …

Flowering time is a complex trait that controls adaptation of plants to their local environment
in the outcrossing species Zea mays (maize). We dissected variation for flowering time with …

Identifying natural allelic variation that underlies quantitative trait variation remains a
fundamental problem in genetics. Most studies have employed either simple synthetic …

Genetic variation for seed dormancy in nature is a typical quantitative trait controlled by
multiple loci on which environmental factors have a strong effect. Finding the genes …

The extent of endoreduplication in leaf growth is group-or even species-specific, and its
adaptive role is still unclear. A survey of Arabidopsis accessions for variation at the level of …

Flowering time (FT) is the developmental transition coupling an internal genetic program
with external local and seasonal climate cues. The genetic loci sensitive to predictable …

The seed expressed gene DELAY OF GERMINATION (DOG) 1 is absolutely required for the
induction of dormancy. Next to a non‐dormant phenotype, the dog1‐1 mutant is also …

Our understanding of the interaction of carbon (C) metabolism with nitrogen (N) metabolism
and growth is based mainly on studies of responses to environmental treatments, and …

Timing of germination is presumably under strong natural selection as it determines the
environmental conditions in which a plant germinates and initiates its postembryonic life …

To exploit the diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana, eight founder accessions were crossed to
produce six recombinant inbred line (RIL) subpopulations, together called an Arabidopsis …
