Statistical analyses of the results included: calculating basic measures of variation and analysis of variance. The analyzed data showed the existence of plant material's diversity in phenotypic expression of investigated seed quality traits, as well as the existence of statistically significant genotype ...
Functional traits as predictors of the determinants of competitive outcomes. Horizontal bars denote singler-Pearson values for correlations between the 19 functional traits considered in this study and average fitness (a) and stabilizing niche differences (b) as a function of climatic conditions (contro...
the observable characteristics or traits of an organism that are produced by the interaction of the genotype and the environment : the physical expression of one or more genes A breed is a group of genetically related individuals with a common phenotype—physical characteristics, such as ear and ...
The multi-trait reaction norm (MTRN) model was extended to beef cattle reared under tropical conditions with the following objectives: to compare multi-trait (MT) and MTRN models regarding the genetic parameters obtained; and to characterize G×E, the pattern of phenotypic expression, and the env...
Few studies have quantified GxE of labile traits in wild populations, and it is likely that power to detect statistically significant GxE is lacking. Apart from the issue of whether it is heritable, plasticity tends to correlate with average trait expression (not fully supported by the few ...
Some behavioural overlap exists between psychopathic tendencies and autistic traits, and both phenotypes are thought to be associated with problems in empathy. However, the broad behavioural profiles and the cognitive-affective deficits associated with the two conditions are at least partly separable. The...

The evolution of phenotypic plasticity creates developmental systems that are more flexible along the trait dimensions that are more plastic, and as a result, we hypothesize that such traits will express greater mutational variance, genetic variance, and evolvability. We develop an explicit gene ...
The production of phenotype is regulated by differential gene expression. However, the regulators of gene expression need not all reside within the embryo... SF Gilbert - 《Developmental Biology》 被引量: 1955发表: 2001年 Development, plasticity and evolution of butterfly eyespot patterns The develo...
Evolutionary Significance of Phenotypic Plasticity in Plants This chapter focuses on evolutionary significance of phenotypic plasticity in plants. The expression of an individual genotype is modified by its environment. The amount by which it can be modified is termed its plasticity. This plastici... ...
