Identification, elucidation and validation of genes underlying Arabidopsis photosynthesis QTLs
Photosynthesis is the foundation of plant productivity. Increased photosynthesis will lead to increased CO2 fixation, and consequently higher... -
Exploring epistatic interactions in natural genetic variation for photosynthesis
Exploring epistatic interactions in natural genetic variation for photosynthesis - WUR Project Exploring epistatic interactions in natural genetic... -
Exploiting copy number variation for rapid improvement of abiotic stress tolerance in crops
Exploiting copy number variation for rapid improvement of abiotic stress tolerance in crops - WUR Project Exploiting copy number variation for rapid... -
Resolving the extreme photosynthetic efficiency of grey mustard
Not all plants have the same overall efficiency of photosynthesis, the biological process that sustains most life on our planet. Hirschfeldia incana... -
Improving photosynthesis by understanding cyto-nuclear interactions
Over one billion years ago the eukaryotic plant cell originated from the endosymbiosis of an early eukaryotic cell and a photosynthesizing... -
An evolutionary perspective on differential transcriptional regulation of zinc homeostasis genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and Thlaspi caerulescens
Zn is an essential micronutrient for all organisms, and plants can maintain their Zn homeostasis by regulated expression of transition metal... -
Genetic Analysis of Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana
Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient, affecting plant growth, crop production and photosynthesis. N deficient plants show retarded growth in... -
Molecular genetic and physiological characterization of the adaptation to Cd and Zn exposure by Gomphrena elegans
Gomphrena elegans is a tropical native species with the potential to accumulate as well as tolerate high levels of Zn and Cd. Therefore, this species... -
Natural Genetic Variation in Plant Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis and genetics are essential, together providing the energy and the data with which life can be built, without either, life as we know it... -
Mining natural genetic variation of combinatorial stress responses of Arabidopsis to identify new tolerance pathways for biotic and drought stress
Plants are exposed to various biotic and abiotic stresses under natural conditions, which results in many negative effects on plant growth and...
