Abstract excerpt
Quantitative traits may be controlled by many loci, many alleles at each locus, and subject to genotype-by-environment interactions, making them difficult to map. One example of such a complex trait is shoot branching in the model plant Arabidopsis, and its plasticity in response to nitrate. Here, we use artificial selection under contrasting nitrate supplies to dissect the genetic architecture of this complex...
