Abstract excerpt
Dosage effects in plants are caused by changes in the copy number of chromosomes, segments of chromosomes, or multiples of individual genes. Genes often exhibit a dosage effect in which the amount of product is closely correlated with the number of copies present. However, when larger segments of chromosomes are varied, there are trans-acting effects across the genome that are unleashed that modulate gene...
