Allelic diversity for neutral markers retains a higher adaptive potential for quantitative traits than expected heterozygosity.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2015

Vilas Ana, Pérez-Figueroa Andrés, Quesada Humberto, Caballero Armando

Abstract excerpt

The adaptive potential of a population depends on the amount of additive genetic variance for quantitative traits of evolutionary importance. This variance is a direct function of the expected frequency of heterozygotes for the loci which affect the trait (QTL). It has been argued, but not demonstrated experimentally, that long-term response to selection is more dependent on QTL allelic diversity than on QTL...
