Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Non-target reads assigned to pest species differed between populations and had significant SNP-based heritability.
- Association Pest-assigned non-target read numbers were associated with climate of origin and baseline glucosinolate contents.
- Association Pennycress lines from cold and thermally fluctuating habitats showed higher aphid DNA load, i.e., decreased aphid resistance.
- Association GWAS identified variants at known defense genes and novel genomic regions associated with aphid and mildew DNA load.
- Method / resource Non-target whole-genome sequencing reads, usually discarded, can be used to estimate intensities of plant biotic interactions.
