Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of putative quantitative trait loci in line crosses under infinitesimal genetic models.
Peter M. Visscher,Chris Haley +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that in practice one should take into account the difference between the strains or the genetic variance in the F2 population when setting significance thresholds, and tests designed to probe the adequacy of a single-QTL model or of an alternative infinitesimal coupling model are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental interactions and the constituents of quantitative variation
TL;DR: This model suggests that an understanding of multivariate evolution can be considerably enriched by knowledge of the mechanistic basis of character development, and shows how changes in the developmental processes underlying phenotypic expression can alter the magnitude and pattern of quantitative genetic variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inheritance of a secondary sexual character in Drosophila silvestris.
Hampton L. Carson,Russell Lande +1 more
TL;DR: Reciprocal crosses were carried out between laboratory stock specimens obtained from two races of Drosophila silvestris from the island of Hawaii that differ in a quantitative secondary sexual character, which appears to have been the outcome of altered sexual selection in the Hilo-side race.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Scan for Blood Pressure Loci in Mice
Fred A. Wright,Daniel T. O'Connor,Elizabeth Roberts,Greg Kutey,Charles C. Berry,Lisa U. Yoneda,David S. Timberlake,Gunther Schlager +7 more
TL;DR: This study is the first reported genome-wide linkage scan for blood pressure genes in the mouse and several suggestive linkages were observed for phenotypes associated with human hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
The inheritance of modifiers conferring self-fertility in the partially self-incompatible perennial,campanula rapunculoides l. (campanulaceae)
TL;DR: The genetic basis of modifiers conferring self‐fertility in the creeping bellflower, Campanula rapunculoides L. (Campanulaceae), a partially self‐incompatible herb is examined and there is evidence that there may be maternal effects for self-fertility, especially for weakly self‐ incompatible plants.
