Journal ArticleDOI
Flowering-Time Genes Modulate the Response to LEAFY Activity
TL;DR: The opposite phenotypes seen in late-flowering mutants and LEAFY overexpressers are exploited to clarify the genetic interactions between flowering-time genes and LEafY, and these observations allow us to expand previously proposed models for the genetic control of flowering time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Architecture of Flowering-Time Variation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Patrice A. Salomé,Kirsten Bomblies,Roosa A. E. Laitinen,Levi Yant,Richard Mott,Detlef Weigel +5 more
TL;DR: By comparing effects across shared parents, this work concludes that in several cases there might be an allelic series caused by rare alleles in A. thaliana and mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) for flowering time in 17 F2 populations derived from these parents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequencing of the genus Arabidopsis identifies a complex history of nonbifurcating speciation and abundant trans-specific polymorphism
Polina Yu. Novikova,Nora Hohmann,Viktoria Nizhynska,Takashi Tsuchimatsu,Jamshaid Ali,Graham Muir,Alessia Guggisberg,Timothy Paape,Karl Schmid,Olga M. Fedorenko,Svante Holm,Torbjörn Säll,Christian Schlötterer,Karol Marhold,Karol Marhold,Alex Widmer,Jun Sese,Kentaro Shimizu,Detlef Weigel,Ute Krämer,Marcus A. Koch,Magnus Nordborg +21 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the pattern of divergence differs between gene ontologies, suggesting a role for selection and multiple cases of past gene flow that contradict a bifurcating species tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide analysis of chromatin packing in Arabidopsis thaliana at single-gene resolution
TL;DR: It is found that the repressive H3K27me3 histone mark is overrepresented in the promoter regions of genes that are in conformational linkage over long distances, and a major theme of genome folding in A. thaliana is the formation of structural units that correspond to gene bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Selfing in Arabidopsis thaliana
Chunlao Tang,Christopher Toomajian,Sue Sherman-Broyles,Vincent Plagnol,Ya-Long Guo,Tina T. Hu,Richard M. Clark,June B. Nasrallah,Detlef Weigel,Magnus Nordborg +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that the S locus of A. thaliana harbored considerable diversity, which is an apparent remnant of polymorphism in the outcrossing ancestor, suggesting that selfing most likely evolved roughly a million years ago or more.
