Using knockout mutants to reveal the growth costs of defensive traits.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

We used a selection of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with knockouts in defence genes to demonstrate growth costs of trichome development and glucosinolate production. Four of the seven defence mutants had significantly higher size-standardized growth rates (SGRs) than the wild-type in early life, although this benefit declined as plants grew larger. SGR is known to be a good predictor of success under high-density...
