Artificial selection on phenotypically plastic traits.

Genetical research - 1 Dec 1999

Kirkpatrick M, Bataillon T

Abstract excerpt

Many phenotypes respond physiologically or developmentally to continuously distributed environmental variables such as temperature and nutritional quality. Information about phenotypic plasticity can be used to improve the efficiency of artificial selection. Here we show that the quantitative genetic theory for 'infinite-dimensional' traits such as reaction norms provides a natural framework to accomplish this...
