A statistical model for testing the pleiotropic control of phenotypic plasticity for a count trait.
The differences of a phenotypic trait produced by a genotype in response to changes in the environment are referred to as phenotypic plasticity. Despite its importance in the maintenance of genetic diversity via genotype-by-environment interactions, little is known about the detailed genetic architecture of this phenomenon, thus limiting our ability to predict the pattern and process of microev...
متن کاملPhenotypic plasticity in nematodes
Model systems, including C. elegans, have been successfully studied to understand the genetic control of development. A genotype's phenotype determines its evolutionary fitness in natural environments, which are typically harsh, heterogeneous and dynamic. Phenotypic plasticity, the process by which one genome can produce different phenotypes in response to the environment, allows genotypes to b...
متن کاملJuxtaglomerular Cell Phenotypic Plasticity
Renin is the first and rate-limiting step of the renin-angiotensin system. The exclusive source of renin in the circulation are the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, which line the afferent arterioles at the entrance of the glomeruli. Normally, renin production by these cells suffices to maintain homeostasis. However, under chronic stimulation of renin release, for instance during a low-salt...
متن کاملPhenotypic Plasticity: Different Teeth for Different Feasts
A polyphenism in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus involves the development of different feeding structures in response to an environmental cue, providing a genetic model species for investigating ecologically relevant phenotypic plasticity.
متن کاملEcological consequences of phenotypic plasticity.
Phenotypic plasticity is widespread in nature, and often involves ecologically relevant behavioral, physiological, morphological and life-historical traits. As a result, plasticity alters numerous interactions between organisms and their abiotic and biotic environments. Although much work on plasticity has focused on its patterns of expression and evolution, researchers are increasingly interes...
