Hidden Genetic Interactions Drive Plant Trait Changes

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, researchers have unveiled how hidden layers of genetic variation, known as cryptic cis-regulatory alleles, drive complex phenotypic changes in plants through a sophisticated hierarchical epistatic network. Using tomato inflorescence architecture as a model, the study dissects the intricate gene regulatory interactions that govern plant morphology, revealing new insights […]
