Artificial selection reveals complex genetic architecture of shoot branching and its response to nitrate supply in Arabidopsis.

Quantitative traits may be controlled by many loci, many alleles at each locus, and subject to genotype-by-environment interactions, making them difficult to map. One example of such a complex trait is shoot branching in the model plant Arabidopsis, and its plasticity in response to nitrate. Here, w...
