AbstractPhotosynthesis is the most important reaction underlying carbon fixation. Despite its potential in boosting carbon assimilation, nature variations underlying genes in photosynthesis pathway and their role in adaptive traits variation remains elusive.

AbstractGenome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool to identify genomic loci underlying complex traits. However, the application in natural populations comes with challenges, especially power loss due to population stratification. Here, we introduce a bivariate analysis approach to a GWAS dataset of Arabidopsis thaliana. We demonstrate the efficiency of dual-phenotype analysis to uncover hidden genetic loci masked by population structure via a series of simulations.
