Genetics of microenvironmental canalization in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Canalization is a fundamental feature of many developmental systems, yet the genetic basis for this property remains elusive. We examine the genetic basis of microenvironmental canalization in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, focusing on differential developmental stability between genotypes in one fitness and four quantitative morphological traits. We measured developmental stability in g...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetics and Quantitative Traits
Introduction In the chapter on Mendel and Morgan, we saw how the transmission of genes from one generation to another follows precise mathematical formula. The traits discussed in that chapter, however, were discrete traits—peas are either yellow or green, someone either has a disorder or does not have the disorder. But many behavioral traits are not like these clear-cut, have-it-or-don’t-have-...
متن کاملGenetics of drought adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana: I. Pleiotropy contributes to genetic correlations among ecological traits.
We examined patterns of genetic variance and covariance in two traits (i) carbon stable isotope ratio delta13C (dehydration avoidance) and (ii) time to flowering (drought escape), both of which are putative adaptations to local water availability. Greenhouse screening of 39 genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana native to habitats spanning a wide range of climatic conditions, revealed a highly signi...
متن کاملQuantitative genetics of disease traits.
John James authored two key papers on the theory of risk to relatives for binary disease traits and the relationship between parameters on the observed binary scale and an unobserved scale of liability (James Annals of Human Genetics, 1971; 35: 47; Reich, James and Morris Annals of Human Genetics, 1972; 36: 163). These two papers are John James' most cited papers (198 and 328 citations, Novembe...
متن کاملA haploid genetics toolbox for Arabidopsis thaliana.
Genetic analysis in haploids provides unconventional yet powerful advantages not available in diploid organisms. In Arabidopsis thaliana, haploids can be generated through seeds by crossing a wild-type strain to a transgenic strain with altered centromeres. Here we report the development of an improved haploid inducer (HI) strain, SeedGFP-HI, that aids selection of haploid seeds prior to germin...
