Natural phenotypic variation allows us to explore adaptation and the genetic architecture. In this study we had demonstrated that allelic variation in the photoreceptor PHYTOCHROME C (PHYC) contributes to flowering and light responses in natural populations of Arabidopsis thaliana. Our work coupled with earlier work on other light receptors shows that the photoreceptor family to be highly variable and adaptive in plants. In second part of the research we reveal hidden genetic variation and its phenotypic consequences, using Arabidopsis thaliana wild strains. At higher temperature one of the strain (Bur-0) displayed a conditional leaf morphological defect and growth arrest. Through linkage analysis we identified the gene encoding ISOPROPYLMA...
