Phenotypic switching of populations of cells in a stochastic environment [PDF]
, 2018 In biology phenotypic switching is a common bet-hedging strategy in the face of uncertain environmental conditions. Existing mathematical models often focus on periodically changing environments to determine the optimal phenotypic response.

Why Phenotype Robustness Promotes Phenotype Evolvability [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017 Robustness and evolvability are fundamental characteristics of life whose relationship has intrigued generations of biologists. Studies of several genotype-phenotype maps (GPMs) such as the map between short DNA sequences and their bindings to transcription factors showed that phenotype robustness (PR) promotes phenotype evolvability (PE), but the ...

Near-periodic substitution and the genetic variance induced by environmental change [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate a model that describes the evolution of a diploid sexual population in a changing environment. Individuals have discrete generations and are subject to selection on the phenotypic value of a quantitative trait, which is controlled by a ...

Gender determination of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) seedlings through phenotypic characteristics and SRY gene with ISSR marker as positive control [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), a member of the family Arecaceae, is a dioecious plant in which male and female flowers occur on separate individuals. Sex determination in date palms is typically possible only at the flowering stage, which occurs at
