Natural variation in the C-repeat binding factor cold response pathway correlates with local adaptation of Arabidopsis ecotypes.

Abstract excerpt

The natural range of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) encompasses geographical regions that have greatly differing local climates, including harshness of winter temperatures. A question thus raised is whether differences in freezing tolerance might contribute to local adaptation in Arabidopsis. Consistent with this possibility is that Arabidopsis accessions differ in freezing tolerance and that those collected...
