Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term balancing selection drives evolution of immunity genes in Capsella.

TL;DR: Re reconstructing the evolution of the disease-related locus MLO2b, it is found that divergence between ancient haplotypes can be obscured by referenced based re-sequencing methods, and that trans-specific alleles can encode substantially diverged protein sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of rice with the Arabidopsis floral regulator LEAFY causes early heading.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that floral regulatory genes from Arabidopsis are useful tools for heading date improvement in cereal crops by causing early flowering in transgenic rice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic architecture of nonadditive inheritance in Arabidopsis thaliana hybrids

TL;DR: It is found that nonadditive genetic effects are a major component of genetic variation in this population and that the genetic basis of hybrid phenotype can be mapped using genome-wide association (GWA) techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combining whole-genome shotgun sequencing and rRNA gene amplicon analyses to improve detection of microbe–microbe interaction networks in plant leaves

TL;DR: Shotgun data, which unlike the amplicon data capture the ratio of microbe to plant DNA, enable scaling of microbial read abundances to reflect the microbial load on the host, and are shown to allow a similar scaling of ampliconData to overcome compositionality problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conservation and divergence of FCA function between Arabidopsis and rice.

TL;DR: The overexpression of OsFCA cDNA was shown to partially rescue the late flowering phenotype of the fca mutant, suggesting that the functions of the Os FCA and the FCA are partially overlapped, despite the lack of an apparent FLC homologue in the rice genome.
