The Scale of Population Structure in Arabidopsis thaliana
The population structure of an organism reflects its evolutionary history and influences its evolutionary trajectory. It constrains the combination of genetic diversity and reveals patterns of past gene flow. Understanding it is a prerequisite for detecting genomic regions under selection, predicting the effect of population disturbances, or modeling gene flow. This paper examines the detailed ...
متن کاملGenetics of drought adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana II. QTL analysis of a new mapping population, KAS-1 x TSU-1.
Despite compelling evidence that adaptation to local climate is common in plant populations, little is known about the evolutionary genetics of traits that contribute to climatic adaptation. A screen of natural accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana revealed Tsu-1 and Kas-1 to be opposite extremes for water-use efficiency and climate at collection sites for these accessions differs greatly. To prov...
متن کاملPopulation genetics: Coalescence theory II
The coalescent is an accumulation of waiting times. We can think of it as standard queuing process where the times are exponentially distributed with rate k(k − 1)/(2 × 2N) [for most elaboration in this chapter I use the Wright-Fisher model as a guide, for the Moran model the rate would be k(k−1)/(2× (2N)2) ]. The coalescent makes no assumptions about the interaction of the intervals, we will a...
متن کاملMolecular population genetics of redundant floral-regulatory genes in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Functional redundancy between duplicated genes is predicted to be transitory, as one gene either loses its function or gains a new function, or both genes accrue degenerative, yet complimentary mutations. Yet there are many examples where functional redundancy has been maintained between gene duplicates. To determine whether selection is acting on functionally redundant gene duplicates, we perf...
متن کاملPopulation genomics of the Arabidopsis thaliana flowering time gene network.
The time to flowering is a key component of the life-history strategy of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana that varies quantitatively among genotypes. A significant problem for evolutionary and ecological genetics is to understand how natural selection may operate on this ecologically significant trait. Here, we conduct a population genomic study of resequencing data from 52 genes in the flo...
