Loss-of-Function, a Strategy for Adaptation in Arabidopsis
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefWhen thinking about adaptive processes, the concept of genetic innovation comes to mind. At the genomic scale, a lot of attention has been given to gene introgression, duplication, and novel functionalization to uncover the bases of adaptation. However, as the majority of genes are non-essential, both…
