Abstract excerpt
Root growth of Arabidopsis thaliana is inhibited by proton rhizotoxicity in low ionic strength media when the pH of the medium is lower than 5.0. QTL analysis at pH 4.7 revealed that two major QTLs on chromosome 2 and 5 and an additional six epistatic interacting loci pairs control proton resistance in the Ler/Col recombinant inbred population. These genetic factors are independently associated with proton...
