Probabilistic Multilocus Haplotype Reconstruction in Outcrossing Tetraploids [PDF]

Genetics, 2016
Abstract For both plant (e.g., potato) and animal (e.g., salmon) species, unveiling the genetic architecture of complex traits is key to the genetic improvement of polyploids in agriculture. F1 progenies of a biparental cross are often used for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in outcrossing polyploids, where haplotype ...

The role of hermaphrodites in the experimental evolution of increased outcrossing rates in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014
Why most organisms reproduce via outcrossing rather than selfing is a central question in evolutionary biology. It has long ago been suggested that outcrossing is favoured when it facilitates adaptation to novel environments.

Local-scale patterns of genetic variability, outcrossing, and spatial structure in natural stands of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2015
As Arabidopsis thaliana is increasingly employed in evolutionary and ecological studies, it is essential to understand patterns of natural genetic variation and the forces that shape them.

Exploring Deep Learning for Complex Trait Genomic Prediction in Polyploid Outcrossing Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Genomic prediction (GP) is the procedure whereby the genetic merits of untested candidates are predicted using genome wide marker information. Although numerous examples of GP exist in plants and animals, applications to polyploid organisms are still ...

Gene expression drives the evolution of dominance. [PDF]

, 2018
Dominance is a fundamental concept in molecular genetics and has implications for understanding patterns of genetic variation, evolution, and complex traits.

Reconstruction of the High Stigma Exsertion Rate Trait in Rice by Pyramiding Multiple QTLs

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Asian cultivated rice is a self-pollinating crop, which has already lost some traits of natural outcrossing in the process of domestication. However, male sterility lines (MSLs) need to have a strong outcrossing ability to produce hybrid seeds by ...

Genome Evolution in Outcrossing vs. Selfing vs. Asexual Species.

Methods in molecular biology, 2019
A major current molecular evolution challenge is to link comparative genomic patterns to species' biology and ecology. Breeding systems are pivotal because they affect many population genetic processes and thus genome evolution.

Potential inbreeding in a small population of a mass flowering species, Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (Xanthorrhoaceae): is your mother my father? [PDF]

, 2012
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii is a long lived slow growing perennial understorey species, that produces a large quantity of passively dispersed seed every 3-5 years. Reproductive maturity is not reached until 20-30 years of age.

Males, Outcrossing, and Sexual Selection in Caenorhabditis Nematodes

Genetics, 2019
Males of Caenorhabditis elegans provide a crucial practical tool in the laboratory, but, as the rarer and more finicky sex, have not enjoyed the same depth of research attention as hermaphrodites.

Rate of crop‐weed hybridization in Sorghum bicolor × Sorghum halepense is influenced by genetic background, pollen load, and the environment

Evolutionary Applications, 2023
The potential for gene flow between cultivated species and their weedy relatives poses agronomic and environmental concerns, particularly when there are opportunities for the transfer of adaptive or agronomic traits such as herbicide resistance into the ...
