Genetic correlation in relation to differences in dosage of a stressor.

Abstract excerpt

We exposed the strains of Chlamydomonas isolated from an outbred laboratory population to a range of concentrations of salt (NaCl) up to an extirpative level that the base population could not tolerate. The genetic variance of yield increased with stress over the first half of this range before collapsing to nearly zero. The genetic correlation decreased with environmental distance, whether measured as a...
