Genome-wide association mapping in Arabidopsis identifies previously known flowering time and pathogen resistance genes. PLoS Genet 1 (2005) e60. Performing an association study on traits of known genes in a structured sample of 95 A. thaliana accessions, the authors revealed false positive associations between markers and phenotypes. They highlighted the necessity of a control for the confounding effect of population structure in association studies.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103 (2006) 9578-9583. Using DNA sequence variation, the authors investigated phylogeography of the wild ancestor species of cultivated rice. They demonstrated that the two major varieties of cultivated rice (O. sativa indica and O. sativa japonica) are the products of two independent domestication events. A persuasive demonstration that phylogeographical analyses, so far mostly performed per se, can reveal the history of past selection events.

The authors demonstrate the value of natural variation for the study of adaptive traits, in spite of the many mutant lines available in A. thaliana. In our opinion, they show that the ability to understand spatial and historical forces influencing the distribution of genetic polymorphisms in populations will be crucial in future studies of adaptive traits.
