The paper identifies organellar genetic variation in Arabidopsis thaliana and shows its impact on photosynthesis through cybrid analysis and high-throughput phenotyping.

The paper develops a complete chromosome substitution mapping panel in Arabidopsis thaliana to enable high power mapping of genome-wide epistasis.

The paper maps genotype-by-ploidy effects in Arabidopsis thaliana by analyzing haploid and diploid offspring from a late flowering cross, identifying ploidy-specific QTLs and pleiotropic effects.

This study uses cybrids to show that plasmotype variation affects plant phenotypes through additive and epistatic interactions, with epistasis explaining more variance than additivity.
