Analysis of natural variation for cold tolerance in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana
The identification of the genetic variants underlying adaptive traits constitutes one of the major challenges for modern biology. In this proposal we focus on the ability of plants to tolerate low temperatures. The molecular basis of cold tolerance has been widely investigated in crop species since freezing temperatures can severely affect quality, yield and production.
