概括
植物现象学的遗传变异,或生命周期事件的时间,显著地预测了整个欧亚大陆的野生Arabidopsis thaliana的开花时间. 然而,当地环境因素也会影响现象性可塑性.
科学领域:
- 植物生物学 植物生物学
- 进化生物学是进化的生物学.
- 生态生态学 生态生态学
背景情况:
- 现象学,即生物事件的时间表,对于植物的生存和繁殖至关重要,并且通常在自然选择之下.
- 了解基因型,环境和发育史在塑造植物表象学的相互作用是必不可少的,但在野生种群中仍然基本未被探索.
研究的目的:
- 调查Arabidopsis的实验确定遗传变异在自然环境中的表观学预测其表观学的程度.
- 评估对野生植物种群的现象时间的受控实验数据的预测能力.
主要方法:
- 收集了227个自然繁殖的Arabidopsis thaliana在欧亚大陆的加入的现象学数据 (收集日期).
- 从新的和发表的受控实验中合成后代的杂交线.
- 将发芽和开花时间的实验遗传变异与现场收集的现象学数据进行比较.
主要成果:
- 实验测量了表观学的遗传变异,显著预测了整个欧亚大陆的野生Arabidopsis thaliana的采集日期 (花期的代理).
- 区域内采集日期的局部变化没有通过实验遗传变异来解释,这表明了显著的环境可塑性.
结论:
- 遗传变异在预测野生阿拉比多的广泛现象模式方面发挥着重要作用.
- 作为对小规模环境梯度或复杂发育相互作用的反应,现象性可塑性是相当大的,需要进一步研究.

Speciation is the evolutionary process resulting in the formation of new, distinct species—groups of reproductively isolated populations.

43.4K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.

01:31Formation of Species
44.6K
Speciation describes the formation of one or more new species from one or sometimes multiple original species. The resulting species are discrete from the parent species, and barriers to reproduction will typically exist. There are two primary mechanisms, speciation with and without geographic isolation—allopatric and sympatric speciation, respectively.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
7.4K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s 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...
