Natural allelic variation of the AZI1 gene controls root growth under zinc-limiting condition

Natural allelic variation of FRO2 modulates Arabidopsis root growth under iron deficiency

Low availability of Fe significantly limits crop yields in many parts of the world. However, it is largely unknown which genes and alleles adjust plant growth in Fe limited environments. Using natural variation of a geographically restricted panel of Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, we identify allelic variation at the FRO2 locus associated with root length under iron deficiency. We show that n...

Allelic Variation of MYF5 Gene Detected in the Camelus bactrianus

The myogenic factors (MYF) 5 gene has been reported to contribute to muscle growth and development, therefore they are considered as candidate genes for growth and meat quality related traits. The MYF5 gene is expressed during proliferation of myoblasts and comprises 3 exons. To ascertain whether there is any variation in the camel MYF5 gene, we have used a polymerase chain reaction-single stra...

Boundary regularity for elliptic systems under a natural growth condition

We consider weak solutions u ∈ u0 +W 1,2 0 (Ω,R )∩L∞(Ω,RN ) of second order nonlinear elliptic systems of the type −div a( · , u,Du) = b( · , u,Du) in Ω with an inhomogeneity obeying a natural growth condition. In dimensions n ∈ {2, 3, 4} we show that Hn−1-almost every boundary point is a regular point for Du, provided that the boundary data and the coefficients are sufficiently smooth. Mathema...

The Selective Maintenance of Allelic Variation Under Generalized Dominance

Simple models of viability selection acting on variation at a single diploid locus only maintain multiple alleles for very restricted sets of fitnesses. Most of these models assume that fitnesses are independent, even if the genotypes share alleles. Here we extend this result to a model with generalized dominance interactions, in which fitnesses are strongly affected by what we call the "primar...
