- Abstract:
- Transcriptional profiling of the tolerant, accumulating species Arabidopsis halleri, the non-accumulating and non-tolerant species A. petraea, A. thaliana and A. neglecta, and F3 families of the cross between A. petraea and A. halleri will be conducted under various zinc treatments. Genes whose expression is correlated with either tolerance or accumulation will be used as RFLP markers in a QTL analysis of a segregating F2 family of the A. petraea x A. halleri cross. QTL analysis will also be used to determine whether there are any genes which are not detected by transcriptional profiling. Alleles of adaptive genes identified by this strategy will be sequenced from A. halleri and its sister species.
