Trans-regulatory loci shape natural variation of gene expression plasticity in Arabidopsis.

Abstract excerpt

Organisms regulate gene expression in response to environmental cues, a process known as plasticity, to adjust to changing environments. Research into natural variation and the evolution of plasticity frequently studies cis-regulatory elements with theory suggesting they are more important evolutionarily than trans-regulatory elements. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have supported this idea, observing a...
