Dealing with the genotype x environment interaction via a modelling approach: a comparison of QTLs of maize leaf length or width with QTLs of model parameters.

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative genetics of adaptive traits is made difficult by the genotypexenvironment interaction. A classical assumption is that QTLs identified in both stressed and control conditions correspond to constitutive traits whereas those identified only in stressed treatments are stress-specific and correspond to adaptive traits. This hypothesis was tested by comparing, in the same set of experiments, two ways of...
