Genome wide association analysis reveals candidate genes controlling an antagonistic effect of biotic and osmotic stress on Arabidopsis thaliana growth
Abstract:While the response of Arabidopsis thaliana to either drought,
herbivory or fungal infection has been well-examined, the consequences
of exposure to a series of such (a)biotic stresses are not well studied.
This work reports on the genetic mechanisms underlying Arabidopsis
response to single osmotic stress, and to combinatorial stress, either
fungal infection using Botrytis cinerea or herbivory using
Pieris rapae caterpillars followed by an osmotic stress
treatment. Several small effect genetic loci associated … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
