Accelerated evolution of morph-biased genes in pea aphids.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2014

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity, the production of alternative phenotypes (or morphs) from the same genotype due to environmental factors, results in some genes being expressed in a morph-biased manner. Theoretically, these morph-biased genes experience relaxed selection, the consequence of which is the buildup of slightly deleterious mutations at these genes. Over time, this is expected to result in increased protein...
