Quantitative trait loci differentiating the outbreeding Mimulus guttatus from the inbreeding M. platycalyx.
Theoretical predictions about the evolution of selfing depend on the genetic architecture of loci controlling selfing (monogenic vs. polygenic determination, large vs. small effect of alleles, dominance vs. recessiveness), and studies of such architecture are lacking. We inferred the genetic basis of mating system differences between the outbreeding Mimulus guttatus and the inbreeding M. platyc...
متن کاملInbreeding in Mimulus guttatus Reduces Visitation by Bumble Bee Pollinators
Inbreeding in plants typically reduces individual fitness but may also alter ecological interactions. This study examined the effect of inbreeding in the mixed-mating annual Mimulus guttatus on visitation by pollinators (Bombus impatiens) in greenhouse experiments. Previous studies of M. guttatus have shown that inbreeding reduced corolla size, flower number, and pollen quantity and quality. Us...
متن کاملDoes Inbreeding Affect Tolerance to Inflorescence Damage in Mimulus guttatus?
Inbreeding in plants causes various declines in fitness estimates across many species and may also affect adaptive phenotypic plasticity, as observed in tolerance to herbivory. Although there are a growing number of studies looking at this effect, there are still not enough to make general conclusions about the relationship between homozygosity and tolerance or resistance. In this work, we exam...
متن کاملPleiotropic quantitative trait loci contribute to population divergence in traits associated with life-history variation in Mimulus guttatus.
Evolutionary biologists seek to understand the genetic basis for multivariate phenotypic divergence. We constructed an F2 mapping population (N = 539) between two distinct populations of Mimulus guttatus. We measured 20 floral, vegetative, and life-history characters on parents and F1 and F2 hybrids in a common garden experiment. We employed multitrait composite interval mapping to determine th...
متن کاملInbreeding load, average dominance and the mutation rate for mildly deleterious alleles in Mimulus guttatus.
The goal of this study is to provide information on the genetics of inbreeding depression in a primarily outcrossing population of Mimulus guttatus. Previous studies of this population indicate that there is tremendous inbreeding depression for nearly every fitness component and that almost all of this inbreeding depression is due to mildly deleterious alleles rather than recessive lethals or s...
