Abstract excerpt
Advances in quantitative genetics have enabled researchers to identify genomic regions associated with changes in phenotype. However, these regions can contain hundreds to thousands of genes, and progressing from genomic regions to causative genes is still challenging. In genome-wide association studies (GWAS) measuring elemental accumulation (ionomic) traits, only 5% of loci contain orthologs of genes known to...
