Finding causal relationships between genotypic and phenotypic variation is a key focus of evolutionary biology, human genetics and plant breeding. To identify genome-wide patterns underlying trait ...

Figure 1: KNOX proteins accumulate in the dissected leaf of C. hirsuta but are excluded from the simple leaf of A. thaliana.

C. hirsuta seed pods consist of two, long valves. When the seeds are ready for dispersal, these valves rapidly separate and coil back, firing seeds out across a large area. The secret to these pods ...

Four petals characterize the flowers of most species in the Brassicaceae family, and this phenotype is generally robust to genetic and environmental variation. A variable petal number distinguishes ...

Researchers in Europe have published the first complete genome of Cardamine hirsuta, an unobtrusive herb in the mustard family that is partial to damp soil. Using a comparative approach, in their ...
