Genetic basis of adaptive evolution of a polyphenism by genetic accommodation.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2008

Suzuki Y, Nijhout H F

Abstract excerpt

Polyphenisms are evolved adaptations in which a genome produces discrete alternative phenotypes in different environments. In this study, the genetic basis of the evolution of a polyphenism by genetic accommodation was investigated. A polyphenic strain and a monophenic strain of Manduca sexta (L.) were crossed and the F(1) offspring and backcross progeny were analysed. The larval colour polyphenism was found to...
