Conte et al. BMC Plant Biology 2010, 10:112 /1471-2229/10/112 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Chromosomal loci important for cotyledon Research article opening under UV-B in Arabidopsis thaliana Mariana Conte1, Silvia de Simone1, Susan J Simmons2, Carlos L Ballaré1 and Ann E Stapleton*3 Abstract Background: Understanding of the genetic architecture of plant UV-B responses allows extensive targeted testing of candidate genes or regions, along with combinations of those genes, for placement in metabolic or signal transduction pathways. Results: Composite interval mapping and single-marker ana
