Floral genetic architecture: an examination of QTL architecture underlying floral (co)variation across environments.
Genetic correlations are expected to be high among functionally related traits and lower between groups of traits with distinct functions (e.g., reproductive vs. resource-acquisition traits). Here, we explore the quantitative-genetic and QTL architecture of floral organ sizes, vegetative traits, and life history in a set of Brassica rapa recombinant inbred lines within and across field and gree...
متن کاملMissing links: the genetic architecture of flower and floral diversification
Variations in floral architecture are evolutionarily and economically important, affecting features such as pollination, predation and seed dispersal. However, in spite of the central role of flowers in plant reproduction, agriculture and horticulture, the processes responsible for the origin and subsequent evolution of the flower remain fundamental problems in plant biology. Major questions in...
متن کاملInflorescence Architecture and Floral Morphology of Aratitiyopea lopezii (Xyridaceae)
Aratitiyopea lopezii is a robust perennial species of Xyridaceae from seasonally saturated, midto high-elevation, sandstone and granite sites in northern South America. The species lacks the scapose inflorescence characteristic of Xyridaceae and, having the gestalt of a rhizomatous bromeliad, it is seemingly aberrant in the family. However, closer examination confirms features consistent with t...
متن کاملPollinator-induced twisting of flowers sidesteps floral architecture constraints
Specific pollen placement by zygomorphic flowers on pollinators is one of the key innovations of angiosperm evolution [1]. In most phylogenetic lineages that have evolved zygomorphic flowers, reproductive organs are positioned either in the lower or upper part of the flower. Although these specific positions largely enhance pollen economy, they also represent architectural constraints such that...
متن کاملDissecting genetic architecture underlying seed traits in multiple environments.
The seeds of flowering plants develop from double fertilization and play a vital role in reproduction and supplying human and animal food. The genetic variation of seed traits is influenced by multiple genetic systems, e.g., maternal, embryo, and/or endosperm genomes. Understanding the genetic architecture of seed traits is a major challenge because of this complex mechanism of multiple genetic...
