One of the most remarkable biological insights in the past 30 years has been that many
genetic programs for complex traits, such as flower or limb development, are shared across …

Since the first half of the twentieth century, evolutionary theory has been dominated by the
idea that mutations occur randomly with respect to their consequences. Here we test this …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

Genetic data often exhibit patterns broadly consistent with'isolation by distance'—a
phenomenon where genetic similarity decays with geographic distance. In a heterogeneous …

The plant Arabidopsis thaliana occurs naturally in many different habitats throughout
Eurasia. As a foundation for identifying genetic variation contributing to adaptation to diverse …

Arabidopsis thaliana is native to Eurasia and is naturalized across the world. Its ability to be
easily propagated and its high phenotypic variability make it an ideal model system for …

Despite advances in sequencing, the goal of obtaining a comprehensive view of genetic
variation in populations is still far from reached. We sequenced 180 lines of A. thaliana from …

Background Domestication modifies the genomic variation of species. Quantifying this
variation provides insights into the domestication process, facilitates the management of …

Plants in their natural ecosystems interact with numerous microorganisms, but how they
influence their microbiota is still elusive. We observed that sulfatase activity in soil, which …
