Direct and indirect selection on flowering time, water-use efficiency (WUE, δ 13C), and WUE plasticity to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana
Flowering time and water-use efficiency (WUE) are two ecological traits that are important for plant drought response. To understand the evolutionary significance of natural genetic variation in flowering time, WUE, and WUE plasticity to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana, we addressed the following questions: (1) How are ecophysiological traits genetically correlated within and between different ...
متن کاملMajor flowering time gene, flowering locus C, regulates seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Flowering locus C (FLC) is a major regulator of flowering responses to seasonal environmental factors. Here, we document that FLC also regulates another major life-history transition-seed germination, and that natural variation at the FLC locus and in FLC expression is associated with natural variation in temperature-dependent germination. FLC-mediated germination acts through additional genes ...
متن کاملFlowering Time Modulation by a Vacuolar SNARE via FLOWERING LOCUS C in Arabidopsis thaliana
The transition of plant growth from vegetative to reproductive phases is one of the most important and dramatic events during the plant life cycle. In Arabidopsis thaliana, flowering promotion involves at least four genetically defined regulatory pathways, including the photoperiod-dependent, vernalization-dependent, gibberellin-dependent, and autonomous promotion pathways. Among these regulato...
متن کاملEfficiency of Indirect Selection to Improve Yield and Drought Tolerance in Populations Derived from Inter-Specific Hybridization of Soft Flower
The use of appropriate selection methods are important to increase yield in breeding programs. Utilization of selection indices is one of the most effective method for selection of superior genotypes to improve the complex traits such as seed yield. In order to evaluate the efficiency of different selection methods, 63 families of two F3 populations derived from inter-specific hybridization of ...
متن کاملDiscordant longitudinal clines in flowering time and phytochrome C in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Using seasonal cues to time reproduction appropriately is crucial for many organisms. Plants in particular often use photoperiod to signal the time to transition to flowering. Because seasonality varies latitudinally, adaptation to local climate is expected to result in corresponding clines in photoperiod-related traits. By experimentally manipulating photoperiod cues and measuring the flowerin...
