Polymorphic genes of major effect: consequences for variation, selection and evolution in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2009

Stinchcombe John R, Weinig Cynthia, Heath Katy D, Brock Marcus T, Schmitt Johanna

Abstract excerpt

The importance of genes of major effect for evolutionary trajectories within and among natural populations has long been the subject of intense debate. For example, if allelic variation at a major-effect locus fundamentally alters the structure of quantitative trait variation, then fixation of a single locus can have rapid and profound effects on the rate or direction of subsequent evolutionary change. Using an...
