Genotype-environment interactions in peas
1John Innes Institute, Norwich, England.
Abstract:
The experiments described in this paper were designed to measure some of the genotype-environment interactions in peas and the emphasis has been upon the characters which are of importance in relation to the time of maturity, uniformity of maturity and to yield.Six pea varieties were grown at four sites in Eastern England, there being an early an d a late sowing at each site The data were analysed by means of regression techniques and by the analysis of variance. Linear responses t. environment were demonstrated for all the characters in the majority of varieties and the relative importance of somo of the components of yield in different environments were determined. The variation could be partitioned into ite genetic, environmental and interacting components and genotype-environment interactions were demonstrated fos every one of the characters investigated.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
