EXPRESSION QTL MAPPING ACROSS SOIL MOISTURE ENVIRONMENTS REVEALS CONTRASTING ASSOCIATIONS WITH GENOMIC FEATURES IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA

ABSTRACT: Understanding the patterns and processes driving natural genetic variation in gene expression is of fundamental importance to biology. In this study, we examined genetic variation in gene transcription through expression QTL (eQTL) analysis in the Tsu-1 x Kas-1 recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population of Arabidopsis thaliana. To understand how natural variation in transcription responds to abiotic stress, we conducted eQTL in both well watered and soil drying conditions. Further, we evaluated whether elements of genome structure were associated with eQTL occurance and genes responding to treatment conditions. Overall, we identified thousands of genes that responded to soil moisture availability and hundreds of eQTLs. However, we identified very few interactions between eQTLs and en
