Naturally occurring variation in Arabidopsis: an underexploited resource for plant genetics.
Trends in plant science - 1 Jan 2000
Alonso-Blanco C, Koornneef M
Abstract excerpt
The definition of gene functions requires the phenotypic characterization of genetic variants. Currently, such functional analysis of Arabidopsis genes is based largely on laboratory-induced mutants that are selected in forward and reverse genetic studies. An alternative complementary source of genetic variation is available: the naturally occurring variation among accessions. The multigenic nature of most of...
