The correlation between the GL1 gene and the glabrous phenotype in various arabidopsis ecotypes
Is the gl1-1 mutation the cause of the glabrous phenotype across all ecotypes? Various arabidopsis plants were found to not have trichomes (plant hairs) and the reason was unknown. As trichomes assist with plant pathogenic defense, what would result in the plant losing this defense? Through previous papers it was possible to…
