Abstract excerpt
Copper (Cu) is an essential element in plant nutrition, but it inhibits the growth of roots at low concentrations. Accessions of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) vary in their tolerance to Cu. To understand the molecular mechanism of Cu tolerance in Arabidopsis, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis and accession studies. One major QTL on chromosome 1 (QTL1) explained 52% of the phenotypic...
