Abstract excerpt
As the consequence of complex interactions between different parts of an organ, shape can be used as a predictor of structural-functional relationships implicated in changing environments. Despite such importance, however, it is no surprise that little is known about the genetic detail involved in shape variation, because no approach is currently available for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control...
