Phenotypic robustness can increase phenotypic variability after non-genetic perturbations in gene regulatory circuits [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Non-genetic perturbations, such as environmental change or developmental noise, can induce novel phenotypes. If an induced phenotype confers a fitness advantage, selection may promote its genetic stabilization. Non-genetic perturbations can thus initiate

The evolution of genetic architectures underlying quantitative traits [PDF]

open access: yesProc. R. Soc. B 280:1769, 2013
In the classic view introduced by R. A. Fisher, a quantitative trait is encoded by many loci with small, additive effects. Recent advances in QTL mapping have begun to elucidate the genetic architectures underlying vast numbers of phenotypes across ...

Genome-wide association study reveals the genetic basis of brace root angle and diameter in maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Brace roots are the main organ to support the above-ground part of maize plant. It involves in plant growth and development by water absorption and lodging resistance. The bracing root angle (BRA) and diameter (BRD) are important components of brace root

Genomic Prediction Strategies for Dry-Down-Related Traits in Maize

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
For efficient mechanical harvesting, low grain moisture content at harvest time is essential. Dry-down rate (DR), which refers to the reduction in grain moisture content after the plants enter physiological maturity, is one of the main factors affecting ...
