The genetic architecture of Drosophila sensory bristle number.
We have mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Drosophila mechanosensory bristle number in six recombinant isogenic line (RIL) mapping populations, each of which was derived from an isogenic chromosome extracted from a line selected for high or low, sternopleural or abdominal bristle number and an isogenic wild-type chromosome. All RILs were evaluated as male and female F(1) progeny of crosse...
متن کاملhairy: A quantitative trait locus for drosophila sensory bristle number.
Advances in medicine, agriculture, and an understanding of evolution depend on resolving the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, which is challenging since variation for complex traits is caused by multiple interacting quantitative trait loci (QTL) with small and conditional effects. Here, we show that the key developmental gene, hairy (h), is a QTL for Drosophila sternopleural bristle...
متن کاملPolygenic mutation in Drosophila melanogaster: Mapping spontaneous mutations affecting sensory bristle number.
Our ability to predict long-term responses to artificial and natural selection, and understand the mechanisms by which naturally occurring variation for quantitative traits is maintained, depends on detailed knowledge of the properties of spontaneous polygenic mutations, including the quantitative trait loci (QTL) at which mutations occur, mutation rates, and mutational effects. These parameter...
متن کاملGenotype-environment interaction at quantitative trait loci affecting sensory bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster.
The magnitude of segregating variation for bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster exceeds that predicted from models of mutation-selection balance. To evaluate the hypothesis that genotype-environment interaction (GEI) maintains variation for bristle number in nature, we quantified the extent of GEI for abdominal and sternopleural bristles among 98 recombinant inbred lines, derived from two ...
متن کاملGenetic and molecular analysis of smooth, a quantitative trait locus affecting bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster.
A semi-lethal, sterile allele of the smooth locus (2-91.5), sm3, was discovered in an artificial selection line for low abdominal bristle number that had been started from a P-M dysgenic cross. The fitness effects and extremely low bristle number phenotype of the allele could not be separated by recombination from a P-element insertion at cytological location 56E, and precise excision of the P-...
