PLOS BIOLOGY文献大全abstract::Inorganic arsenic is a carcinogen, and its ingestion through foods such as rice presents a significant risk to human health. Plants chemically reduce arsenate to arsenite. Using genome-wide association (GWA) mapping of loci controlling natural variation in arsenic accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana allowed us to ide...

In many species, females decode these male displays and either accept or reject them. Despite the fact that courtship has been investigated for a long time, the g...
