Natural genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana defense metabolism genes modulates field fitness

Natural genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana defense metabolism genes modulates field fitness

Natural populations persist in complex environments, where biotic stressors, such as pathogen and insect communities, fluctuate temporally and spatially. These shifting biotic pressures generate heterogeneous selective forces that can maintain standing natural variation within a species. To directly...
