The relationship between loci for mating system and fitness-related traits in Mimulus (Scrophulariaceae): a test for deleterious pleiotropy of QTLs with large effects.

Abstract excerpt

Loci with large phenotypic effects are generally not thought to be important in the evolution of quantitative traits because of their deleterious pleiotropic effects, yet empirical studies of such pleiotropic effects are lacking. Here I use molecular markers to test the extent of deleterious pleiotropy of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that have large effects on mating system differences between the wild plants...
