TL;DR: This study demonstrates the feasibility of GWA studies in A. thaliana and suggests that the approach will be appropriate for many other organisms, particularly when inbred lines are available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation to climate across the Arabidopsis thaliana genome.
Angela M. Hancock,Benjamin Brachi,Nathalie Faure,Matthew W. Horton,Lucien B. Jarymowycz,F. Gianluca Sperone,Christopher Toomajian,Fabrice Roux,Joy Bergelson +8 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide scan to identify climate-adaptive genetic loci and pathways in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana provided a set of candidates for dissecting the molecular bases of climate adaptations, as well as insights about the prevalence of selective sweeps, which has implications for predicting the rate of adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linkage and Association Mapping of Arabidopsis thaliana Flowering Time in Nature
Benjamin Brachi,Nathalie Faure,Matthew Horton,Emilie Flahauw,Adeline Vazquez,Magnus Nordborg,Joy Bergelson,Joël Cuguen,Fabrice Roux +8 more
TL;DR: A study about the genetics of flowering time that differs from previous studies in two important ways: first, it is measured in a more complex and ecologically realistic environment; and, second, it combines the advantages of genome-wide association (GWA) and traditional linkage (QTL) mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association studies in plants: the missing heritability is in the field
TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been even more successful in plants than in humans and mapping approaches can be extended to dissect adaptive genetic variation from structured background variation in an ecological context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oak genome reveals facets of long lifespan.

TL;DR: Through this case study of oak, the accumulation and transmission of somatic mutations and the expansion of disease-resistance gene families in trees are demonstrated.
