Selective trade-offs maintain alleles underpinning complex trait variation in plants.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 3 Aug 2018

Abstract excerpt

To understand evolutionary factors that maintain complex trait variation, we sequenced genomes from a single population of the plant Mimulus guttatus, identifying hundreds of nucleotide variants associated with morphological and life history traits. Alleles that delayed flowering also increased size at reproduction, which suggests pervasive antagonistic pleiotropy in this annual plant. The "large and slow"...
